Australia v South Africa 1st ODI @ Perth Stadium.

[Stig O'Hara]

What is going on with Graeme Smith’s hair??

 

[Richard Pryor]

I'm very surprised that Warne is coming across as a dickhead. Unprecedented.

Shaun Marsh won't be playing due to surgury on an abscess in his buttock region

Needs Forest Gump buttock gif

 

[eltrain]

What sort of crowd are they expecting, 25k??

F*ck all there at the moment. Surely this will be the lowest crowd to watch any sport event at Optus Stadium so far?

Graeme Smith comes across as a knob.

No doubt they overpriced the tickets, especially considering the current popularity of the team.

Not to mention there’s been very limited advertising of this

 

[Gough]

The comments section in the Graund preview of the gamre is pretty much all about the FTA situation.

 

[Van_Dyke]

I’ve missed hearing Kerry’s laugh

 

[Richard Pryor]

Well... Skull on Fox has certainly been an experience so far.

 

[Cleavy]

I don't care about the players and their warm-ups. All you need is a 30 min pre-show, do the pitch, weather and teams, and give some predictions.

 

[Cleavy]

I’ve missed hearing Kerry’s laugh

As long as he's used in small doses, then it won't grate on me.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

SA win the toss and will bowl.

 

[The King!]

Toss must be a few hours before the game starts judging by the crowd

 

[Cleavy]

What happened with that plan for South Africa's specialist coin tosser? Or was that only for T20s?

 

[Aussie_boy]

I knew we were s**t but not this s**t.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Graeme Smith comes across as a knob.

Most South African's do to be fair.

 

[The GOAT]

How are we the betting favourites?

Bowling attack is certainly a lot stronger than we saw against Pakistan.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Our batting line up is full of hitters, we really need a few accumulators.

And Nair should be trialled as a spinning option as well (if he’s allowed to bowl, that is!)

The era of elite honesty has begun

 

[swingdog]

Is this the Elite Honesty series?

[eltrain]

Love hearing N’Kosi Sikelel’ iAfrika

 

[workhorse]

Tbh I’d prefer Head bat in the middle order and hold the middle of the innings down. Have finch and short open and try and get us off to a flyer.
Anyway, we’ll see how we go, I’m just glad the summer of cricket is starting

 

[nobbyiscool]

Bugger me if you can't cast the free CA stream to your tv - I thought I'd be watching this on my phone.

I know they're only offering it for free cos Fox Sports didn't get their s**t together in time, but it's a pretty good marketing strategy to let people use it for free for the first 3 match series.

Having had one myself I can vouch for how much of a pain they are. Rest up Shaun!
