Have missed most of today's play and I'm already sick of the Warner sub-plot. Kinda hope he nicks off early

 

[Truckosaurus]

Don’t think we’ve bowled particularly well today.

Wickets have come more from poor shots rather than good balls

Cummins to Babar excluded

And the usual issue of not being able to stop the better bat shielding the number 11 by restricting late singles.

 

[matthew_s]

Weird all Cummins-gobblers conveniently forget these moments which happen way too frequently when praising his captaincy.

also, how’s the over-rate?

 

[matthew_s]

Even weirder, that a 30k crowd is an amazing achievement for Sydney, but Perth getting 15k on a school day in a city with 1/3 the population is a personal sleight to CA.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

England will be taking some notes today on how we've responded to attacking strokeplay (not well).

Reckon the next Ashes with BazBall down here could be a lot of fun to watch.

forgetting how we played in the ashes? We had plenty of long periods like that.

cummins and the 487 coaching staff have absolutely zero plan b.

 

[Tugga27]

Think the Heat have gone past the Strikers this year.

Maybe a Heat, Scorchers GF.

 

[Keys]

Good article by the best writer in Australian cricket

 

[Forward Press]

Saffers 45/7.

That is not a typo.

It is a full strength squad too - surely the B team couldn't do much worse in NZ.

 

[Ochre]

Saffers 45/7.

That is not a typo.

It is actually, they're 7/45

 

[Cursedsword02]

Whiteman in for Hobson against the Strikers. Connolly moved back down to 6.

 

[THE A5]

Saffa’s practicing for NZ.

 

[Forward Press]

First innings over before lunch. All out for 55.

Siraj with 6/15 and Mukesh with 2/0.

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Zak crawleyed to 10 of 14 balls .

This is eski levels of crap

You can't get them every game.

 

[FKASC]

Connolly should probs back down the order or out of the side for Whiteman

Good call

Paul Walter the GOAT

 

[Truckosaurus]

Evans has been good so far this season as the late hitter.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Sleeper agent Short has been activated.

 

[RookiePick]

Saffers have made a right meal of the Capetown test.

Not hearing a lot back from all the Perth Ex-pats currently.

 

[RookiePick]

Evans just taking the piss.

Go Scorchies!

 

[Truckosaurus]

Good call

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Wowee, incredible innings. Maybe England should keep Evans around for when they play T20s in Perth.

 

[Barrybran]

Laurie Evans defeats South Africa by 30 runs

 

[Truckosaurus]

Bravo Evans, a magnificent knock
