***Official*** Australia in South Africa + South Africa in Australia 2016/17

[Blocky]

Khawaja is such a good player, love how he punishes the bowler for going short, then waits on the full one and bunts him down the ground, great wrists.

 

[Starfighter]

Rather ambitious appeal from Rabada.

Time for the lollie, start reversing and bowl these jokers out

It's not gonna reverse here.

Apart from Smith, I reckon the other batsmen have struggled to pick the ball up from time to time

It's perfect batting conditions yet players are jabbing at some balls as if they are batting in the local nets with the sun going down

The ball's been moving quite a bit off the pitch from time to time.

Yeah I definitely think Renshaw in particular was struggling to see the ball occasionally. He was missing some deliveries by margins that were slightly difficult to believe.

 

[Blocky]

Only really against Abbott, who looked dominant against all batsmen he bowled to this morning.

I wonder if South Africa will miss Morkel here.

 

[Starfighter]

Shamsi vs Smith will be interesting to watch. Smith could take him to the cleaners but he could just as likely walk past a completely harmless delivery.

Lots of good ball but more in reference to the ordinary ones where there have been plenty of length and/or line misjudgements

 

[Starfighter]

That would be the right length in any case.

 

[Blocky]

Khawaja sucking in the big ones - looks like Australia's Ross Taylor.

If TPC gets a ton Blocky will tell us all about how it was a road

 

[Blocky]

lol at the idea of Smith being TPC... more like TWAC.

Nah these runs don't matter because the series is already lost.

 

[Starfighter]

Not sure about that shot.

FTR, Williamson made 13 today

must have been an unplayable green seamer

Looks like Australia is finally settled now.

 

[Starfighter]

Turns out landing the ball on the seam gets movement.
