BOOM

 

[serial_thrilla]

Hmmm. Could be some strategic bowling of Hazlewood here. Get him his 10 before we start losing overs.

Spin not as threatening.

 

[The Passenger]

Quick question - if the game gets reduced to 40 overs a team, but Starc and Haze have bowled their 10 overs... Does South Africa have the option of bowling two of their bowlers for 10 overs?

 

[BACCS]

Hazelwood 2/12 off 7
Cummins 0/12 off 1

Cummins bowled one poor ball that over, the last ball fell just short of a fielder and went for 4

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Bavuma has done a Cotchin into the wind here

They are woeful chasing

 

[Andronicus]

That's such a horrible accent.

No they don’t.

No.

 

[Plugger35]

Miller finally showing some intent.

He smoked that one.

I don't think so.

 

[Jamurp]

Hazlewood being off the socials is so alpha.

 

[The Tilt]

That's such a horrible accent.

Whose? Mark Howard?

 

[William Caresser]

Go back to seam on this wicket. Cummins and Marsh after Hazlewood.

 

[The Passenger]

No they don’t.

Even more imperative to make sure we don't lose any overs for these guys.

 

[gtrxuone]

Miller looks a lot more comfortable vs Spin.
Is Cummins injured?

 

[BACCS]

One of the all time spells from Hazlewood, unplayable

 

[The Passenger]

You could also bowl Haze out here, ensure he gets a full ten overs before any more rain, and get Cam Green in the field.

 

[Moonwatcher]

SA happy to just not lose wickets against Hazlewood

 

[Moonwatcher]

This performance so far today is why Australian selectors favour champions (even aging ones) over specialist sides.

 

[The Tilt]

Even more imperative to make sure we don't lose any overs for these guys.

At this point you'd probably just bowl Hazlewood out anyway (i.e. putting aside the possibility of a shortened match).

 

[Jamurp]

* what a spell this is.

 

[BACCS]

3 maidens from 8 overs, insane.

 

[Longbombswans]

Broken finger areas for Miller.

 

[1990crow]

At least Hayden isn’t Michael Slater.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Broken f***ing finger areas for Miller.
