45th Match - South Africa v Australia

[Arachnodouche]

Noticed how Carey totally leans into his sweep. His trunk doesn't stay as vertical as most; it's almost as if he closes/bears down on the shot and gets all of his body as close to the ball as possible.

 

[Spintolose]

Oz are smashing it. They really want the Kiwis.

 

[mr_mister]

Gotta go after Lucky here

 

[Arachnodouche]

Why do they insist on sending Cummins in before Starc the purer striker? Insane.

 

[Spintolose]

Cum out.

Game still on!!!

Hope Khawaja comes out to bat, if a wicket goes.

His running between the wickets would be pretty non existent

 

[Arachnodouche]

Ah bugger it. Well played all around.

 

[trundler]

Ah well

 

[mr_mister]

Dang nammit. Hope we win the toss against England

 

[trundler]

Memorable innings still

Been banned for over a decade right?

This definitely improves our chances. We would have to had beaten Australia anyway and that’s much more likely to happen at Edgbaston imo.

I thought at the time it was just a tactical substitution.

Oops. Didn't know it had been that long. Is it banned in Tests also?

It takes away some of the fun from the game. We used to use runners heavily while playing cricket as kids haha.

 

[mr_mister]

Yeah a Graeme Smith like knock would be super useful here slats
