Watched the last few overs of this last night, kid is going to be a genuine superstar, but I've seen bigger postage stamps than that field. Team that lost made 230 ffs

Also will probably never play test cricket despite being the best bat of his generation.

Why's that?

I'm sure England will give him a go

Watched that Brevis innings live.

He was dropped on 96ish but mocking the ground size isn't doing justice to some of his hits. I reckon at least 4 6's ended up being lost balls.

That oval has hosted almost all of this South African tournament and no scores have threatened what they got yesterday on both sides (I.e pitch was just a road, and umps were tight on calling wides).

Best 6 was one that hit a light pole 25m behind the rope 15m up the pole. Genuinely devastating hitting.

Quick check.

No scores of 200+ the entire tournament before yesterday on that ground (24 matches).

The game later that night a team defended 160.

Yeah but I watched 3 overs and it looked small

 

[Ochre]

Why's that?

Cricket South Africa are a mess and one of the IPL teams already has its claws deep into him. Never might be hyperbolic but I can't see him playing a lot.

Philippe probably keeps his spot as a batsman when Inglis is back.

Never seen Philippe look all that competent in red ball cricket, considering how classy he is with the white ball.

Is there anything dramatic with this wicket? It's definitely game on here.

The Good: WA fighting back in the Queensland second Innings
The Bad: Still having to bat again on this pitch which looks to be doing a lot

Very green.

Bowlers are definitely doing all they can to give WA a fighting chance with the target they’re chasing.

 

[Dazzler9]

9-85, lead of 180ish. Couldn't tell you who's favourites here.

Stumps would be at 6, so should be 4-5 at most

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Send out Rocchichioli and Morris to open.

You talking WA wickets down for that last part?

Bancroft already gone

On a ball he didn't hit.

If you're going to send in the nightwatchman after one of your openers gets dismissed in the first over, why not just send out the nightwatchman to open?

bancroft not happy and watching the replay can understand why.

 

[matthew_s]

I reckon you could run a half decent third umpire setup for the domestic comp pretty cheaply, has been a few decisions that looked bad on replay today

This has always been mystifying to me.

Nightwatchies are a waste of time in the first place in my opinion anyway.

 

[Dazzler9]

Send out Rocchichioli and Morris to open.

There was a game in ye olde days where Bradman reversed the order because the pitch was such a minefield.

 

[FKASC]

Game gonna be over in 2.5 days

Better entertainment than our last game.

Kane Williamson needs to drop himself.
