***Official*** Australia in South Africa 2018

So at what point does it become Ok to say that Maharaj may be a better bowler than Lyon?

 

[OverratedSanity]

I'd say 120 more is the point where it starts to get interesting. It would still need one of them to bat through and a big effort from the tail. 150 more, though...

All Starc needs is 20 runs at the tail imo.

Cummins only 91 first class wickets he not really experienced considering he been around for like 5 years, injuries slow him down also

More ordinary work by Paine there, tbh.

He is still quick though, just seems to slow down more than say Rabada over the course of the day.
Agree with the inexperience, he is still learning the nuances of fast bowling really.

Border said they played at the same club together to ?

Border is the club patron I believe.

From the website:

Australian Players

Player Era (whilst at Valley)

J.W. McLaren 1911/12

O.E. Nothling 1928/29

A. Hurwood 1929/30 – 30/31

D. Tallon 1946/47

A.R. Border 1980/81 – 93/94

K.C. Wessels 1982/83 – 85/86

G.M. Ritchie 1984/85 – 86/87

M.L. Hayden 1992/93 – 93/94, 96/97 – 08/09

S.G. Law 1994/95 – 95/96

U.T. Khawaja 2012/13 -

Could pick a pretty decent batting lineup out of that mob:

Wessels
Hayden
Khawaja
Law
Richie
Border
Tallon

Much slimmer pickings from the bowling talent though. Feldman and Wildermuth currently playing for QLD.

Drop chance by lyon

 

[nsniks]

I would like to see smith bowl 2 to 3 overs, I think he can break this partnership

 

[srbhkshk]

Probably the first decent batting effort this match save marsh, really don't think the pitch was as good for bowling as the first 3 innings scores would imply.

 

[robbypark]

Man, South Africa are going to win this...

 

[slippy888]

DE KOCK is a batting genius when he focused

 

[StephenZA]

Tired, loose shot. Pity just before new ball.... but very well played from Markram. Good to see his talent shine through.

 

[Spark]

Take a bow, son. What a knock.

 

[vcs]

Ah balls. Sucks that he had to go out to Mitch Marsh in the end. Awesome knock though.

 

[Top_Cat]

Top knock. Superb.

 

[slippy888]

It was a nothing ball really that got Makram out

 

[OverratedSanity]

Great knock. Guy's a serious talent...that knock against India was quality too.

 

[srbhkshk]

top knock.

If Philander goes soon too, De Kock should just go nuts, no way the remaining three survive more than a couple dozen balls against Starc and co.

Should do a Chanders and get his average up imo.
