Australia's tour to South Africa

[Doodlesweaver]

The fielding is a bit unlucky and also a bit shite tonight.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Loland.

Never again please.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

We needed 500

 

[Moonwatcher]

We needed 500

In the 434 game or this game or both?

 

[Hellgood]

de Kock is absolutely magnificent to watch. It's an easy comparison to compare him to Gilchrist due to the similarities in role, but it's pretty justified.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Lost this game with the bat really. We were never going to defend that target.

Boland's cheap wickets shouldn't overshadow the fact he's nowhere near the level required. Worrall is a state cricketer at best and Marsh struggled too, though he'd do better behind better front liners. Watson is a big loss for this side for his bowling as much as he is for his batting.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Can anyone tell me why I stayed up and watched the entire match?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Can somebody explain to me the logic in Worrall playing ahead of Tremain? Surely Tremain is the one with the potential for an extended International career.

Maybe we were protecting him from this track?

Pro Victorian bias when selecting the attack

That's what I was thinking while be was batting. If you are going to get flogged, at least it's by someone really worth seeing do it.

They did lose in the batting but in retrospect they must have known they needed a massive score with such a vanilla attack, that's why they were trying to smash every ball.

Just awful review by Smith not that it mattered.

Has Starc got some sort of contract where he is the only one allowed to bowl yorkers? I left work once the Saffers were about on 215 or so and can't remember seeing one bowled.

I thought that was one of the reasons Boland was getting a look in?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Boland lol

Never again please he's awful

 

[serial_thrilla]

Boland
Tremain
Mennie
Worrall

Trash. Absolute trash.
I could literally name 12 active seam bowlers who should be named ahead of them.

We don't deserve to win with that insipid bowling attack. The selectors should be sacked.

M Marsh at least has potential, but he should be seen as a batting allrounder...despite his terrible batting record.

Hastings deserves a pat of the back. Our only legitimate ODI seam bowler in the squad. I'm assuming that Faulkner is injured??

 

[Biggie]

Not surprised to be waking up to that result. Bowlers look ordinary & we needed another 100 on that track.

 

[Cleavy]

may as well fly home now.

Boland 3 for.
MOTM.
How many did Mitchell Marshmallow get?

Go Scotty.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

I love this. I get so much entertainment reading the whinging

Where was the other Marshmallow brother.
I think his name is Shorn?

 

[JackOutback]

Boland
Tremain
Mennie
Worrall

Yeah, but they are all probably injured

Oh Christopher you silly boy

Problem Mark?
We needed 350 at Centurion. All Smiffy's fault for his Watson impersonation

With that bowling line up mate we need 450+

Just think about this. What is a considered a weak bowling line up and still no West Aussies in sight.
So how s**t are your bowlers then

 

[Van_Dyke]

So how injury-prone are your bowlers then

EFA. Paris and Dorff coming back from injury, NCN currently injured. Mennie, Worrall and Tremain got picked thanks to their efforts in the Aus A series
