3rd ODI Australia vs Sth Africa

[peternorth]

The only time aussies will beat the saffas tonight is on 9Go!

 

[LukeParkerno1]

lol. bowling to genuine bowlers and opposed to well set batsmen. you cant make a comparison.

We’d have less set batsmen if we didn’t drop easy catches

 

[k31th]

lol @ an extra on the last ball...

 

[LukeParkerno1]

We’ve lasted 50 overs boys lol

 

[Richard Pryor]

Keep Graeme Smith away from the comm box!

I've suffered enough through Ian Smith

 

[sherb]

We could have completely folded after being 3-39 but we didn't. So that's something I guess.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

What’s wrong with him? Think he’s been pretty good.

 

[Richard Pryor]

What’s wrong with him? Think he’s been pretty good.

Don't mind him in the commbox that much, but he's definitely smug.

 

[Bradesmaen]

It's your outright dismissal of a score of 3-39 being under pressure that I was laughing at.

He and the side were under enormous pressure when he came to the crease.

Nope. No pressure, game is almost lost at that stage chasing 280 more in 40 overs.

 

[eddiesmith]

That’s why Cummins is ahead of Starc

Yeah cos wasting an entire over of playing and missing is what Australia needed

 

[Richard Pryor]

Nope. No pressure, game is almost lost at that stage chasing 280 more in 40 overs.

I do see what you're saying, but innings like that are more like Dhoni in the 2015 WC semi final than Stoinis tonight.

 

[Coasters7]

I disagree.

Until Warner and Smith return it should be:

Khawaja
Finch
S.Mash
Maxwell
Stoinis
Carey
M.Marsh
Cummins
Starc
Zampa
Hazlewood

Yes I agree with you but I was just picking a batting order from the players currently being picked. Agree that changes have to be made to personnel but they were all being played out of position this series.

 

[sherb]

Nope. No pressure, game is almost lost at that stage chasing 280 more in 40 overs.

Lol.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Don't mind him in the commbox that much, but he's definitely smug.

I don’t mind him. Like his commentary and that’s the main thing.

 

[Richard Pryor]

Cracking innings from Shaun Marsh, if Finch had have been able to pull together an innings as well we could have won quite comfortably.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Yeah cos wasting an entire over of playing and missing is what Australia needed

Still was not out at the end. He’s a better bat.

 

[Coasters7]

Game was lost in the last 10 overs of bowling. Shouldn’t be allowing that many.. could argue Miller shouldn’t have been there too

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

5,231 at the game. That's deplorable.

 

[Richard Pryor]

5,231 at the game. That's deplorable.

Ugly numbers, really is a perfect storm for it though. Near unprecedented losing streak, two biggest names out, reputation of the side still in the mud, cultural review, shambolic administration, and no coverage on free-to-air.

 

[IKnowtheDog]

5,231 at the game. That's deplorable.

School night and cold weather may have played a part

 

[LukeParkerno1]

5,231 at the game. That's deplorable.

What did you realistically expect?

Sunday night- people don’t have many days off, in general spend Sunday’s with their family.

Ticket prices- too expensive

The team- despite what many say no Warner or Smith hurts with crowd figures.

Team form- we’ve won 3 ODIS in our last 20.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Where are the Marsh haters?

We're having the night off

 

[NSWCROW]

The only time aussies will beat the saffas tonight is on 9Go!

 

[NSWCROW]

Keep Graeme Smith away from the comm box!

It's either the comm box or the buffet , Fox are just saving coin.

Pretty sure Smith and Warner actually played in front of more people at Coogee Oval yesterday. Place was jam packed.
