thats a bad shot from DK to get out to Maharaj there. The switch short was a dumb idea in the current situation.
And Maharaj absolutely loves it.

Stubbs is a gun fielder for South Africa, took a couple of neat catches for South Africa. Difference in the 3rd T20I was the fielding from each side.
Siraj was terrible.

I actually thinking about it kind of agree. If that was a normal ball, he definitely would have been given out.

India pretty much will be playing an Indian A side in the ODI series. Heard commentators say last night and i think previous game, the T20 squad will be based in Perth when they arrive .

Bavuma is in the worse form than Finch atm
Seems so strange to have an have an ODI series with the T20 WC 2 weeks away. Still a huge series for South Africa, against a weaker Indian side this is the best chance to get the points needed to qualify for the ODI WC
Yeah, out of the ground. Jeepers!
Just want to have a little whinge about how sh** the experience at Metricon was.
It really felt like they didn't want anyone at the game. There was next to no advertising locally, or anywhere else that I saw, so clearly they weren't trying for decent attendance to begin with. I spoke with several people during the day that didn't even know a game was on, let alone just down the road. Despite this, significantly more people showed up than they clearly planned for - which wasn't much as it was, as I'm sure was easily visible on TV. They had to end up opening up another section of the stands as there was too many people for what they'd allocated.
On top of this and adding to the feeling of being more of an inconvenience than a proper event, there was only 1 bar/food stall open to cater for everyone. The lines ended up being 40 people deep all night at these and you missed a significant amount of the game queuing for a $10 mid strength beer. Fantastic.
Piss poor effort by CA and by Metricon. I blame CA moreso as they are the ones that didn't advertise and would've organised with Metricon on what they wanted to cater for. Metricon would've only supplied what CA indicated they would've liked.
The whole thing felt half arsed and not even close to up to scratch for an international sporting match. It genuinely felt, and I mentioned as did several people I walked past/overheard, that they didn't actually want anyone at the game and we were an inconvenience to the whole thing. Shocking effort all-round and an embarrassment for the game.
