Smith's Crew in SA

[LP]

SA wasting more time today after bowling 10 overs short yesterday.

Starc has taken offence at batting below Cummins, and is making the SA attack look toothless!

[ElwoodBlues1]

Some of those SA pitches mean that the batsmen are genuinely just trying to survive rather than score.

But I do think our bowlers are going to put the wind up them - Amla & ABDV are getting old.

Morkel announced his retirement also, Stein also old - they are a team in transition.

They are a team struggling with quota's and politics too......Morkel is retiring from playing for the Protea's but will play other forms of the game, he has
been pushed to retire from International cricket for reasons other than form or fitness.

351 is a very good effort, well done Starc and Marsh.

Wickets lost on last/first ball of sessions is bad cricket.  Happy with 350 but could have been so much more.

[ElwoodBlues1]

Nathan " Garry"  Lyon into the attack early and already taken 2 wickets......including prized scalp of Amla.........

Yep, it's a nation with a history of internal division, nothing has changed.

Internal division is a a bit of an understatement Prof; it was a full blown rebellion against the colonial government.

The laat ball is usually because the wicket has fallen not because it was meant to be the last ball.

aussies will be stoked with 350 on the dog of a pitch, SAFFERS UNLIKELY TO GET 200.

5 for 34 from Starc.

Great stuff.

When he started his second spell he had bowled 4 overs for 0-19.
