Nicholas brings the whole caper up a level of class tbh.

I like Nicolas also.

Michael Clarke has been the hardest to listen to for mine, just something about him.

Collapse incoming.

Did as much as I expected.

Abbott 2/5

Kind of figures you start with when if give nothing away and hit the right areas. The Aussies bowl way to many loose balls to keep the pressure on like SA do.

Love watching Smith bat.

 

[Hojuman]

Gee. Ground & pitch picture perfect. Kudos to the curator.

 

[Hojuman]

Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. Never a run there captain.

 

[kangaspurs]

Handscomb looks like a prime candidate for a 'hit wicket' dismissal.

 

[Firestarter]

Probably the best partnership all series for us.

Run outs in test matches are so bloody dumb. Now I'm pissed off, better head to the grumpy thread

I just laugh. Gotta save the grump for any unnecessary draft decisions.

Rotating strike is a key part of batting, but yes when it doesn't come off it's a terrible result.

I'm constantly amazed how different Mats and Vernon Philander look. Are they even related?

 

[giantroo]

Onya Usman on the ton.

Mats Filanderer was Norwegian l think.

Pretty sure the Saffers picked him up as a father/son recruit Art.

 

[kangaspurs]

Who was the last player as good to watch as Usman Khawaja in terms pure technique and fluency?

****ing love watching him bat when he's in full flight.

 

[giantroo]

 

[Hojuman]

Not this test l think G.R.

 

[archereleven]

Handscomb looking very comfortable at the crease.

 

[archereleven]

Just brought up his 50 with 2 glorious cover drives and a flat bat to mid on for 4

Well played!

Has just cemented his spot for the foreseeable future with this knock

 

[shniko11]

Great ton by Usman his runs in this dissapointing series is one positive, he joins the first picked 4-5 players now good on him.

And Handscomb so far impressive much...

 

[big_e]

Nice little send-off by Rabada there.

 

[Groucho]

Damn don't like to see someone make a blob in their first test innings.
