45th Match - South Africa v Australia

[silentstriker]

Lol Starc’s odi ranking is only 21.

He should definitely be higher, but in 2018, he had some bad match figures which artificially lower his rating I'm sure: 71/2, 63/0, 63/1, 47/0. If you look at the past year - and especially this WC, he would obviously be right at the top.

de Kock's having a decent time out there.

 

[trundler]

Well that's it then.

 

[trundler]

Not even the first team Maxwell has gotten out like that. So dumb.

 

[trundler]

Carey's in decent nick isn't he

 

[trundler]

Would losing from here equal choking?

 

[vcs]

Australia still in it as long as Warner's there. 100 up.

 

[Arachnodouche]

The choke is on.

 

[trundler]

Hundred up for Warner. Extraordinary batsman. 4 in WCs. Should be in the conversation with Rohit.

My lifelessness is no secret but don't you guys have better things to do on a weekend night

 

[vcs]

No

 

[Arachnodouche]

****ing bludgeoned down the ground. Warner batting like a champ here. The nauseating self righteous backlash this guy was put through, even more so than Smith, and to see how much that cap still means to him...I gulped a little I'll admit.

Like what?

 

[trundler]

Like what?

Douching spiders, maybe

 

[trundler]

This is a great innings from Warner. Emphasis on great.

 

[trundler]

Carey is a great player of spin

 

[Arachnodouche]

Yeah, SA feeling the heat for sure. There might be a case for promoting Carey ahead of Maxwell. Give Maxwell license for a handful of overs, which is all he's good for anyway, and let Carey be the pacemaker.

Two surgical boundaries from Warner there. Lofted sweep above short fine leg and lofted inside out over cover. In the zone.

 

[vcs]

This is classy batting. Aussies' chances of winning growing by the over.

 

[Spark]

Carey is class. Genuinely did not think he was this good

 

[trundler]

I called it after the Pakistan series. Even said he should bat 6.
