This sa middle order looks so good, lot of sides might have limped to 300 after miller went early.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

God if Carey or Inglis could bat like this we would be world champions.

And this is what Australia lack. We could barely get the ball off the ground in the last 10 overs last night.

Is it really that hot and humid? Google says Mumbai 32 degrees and 58% humidity. Surely pro athletes should be able to perform in a bit of heat?

We only have to look. No way that is anywhere near as low as 58%. They are pro's and they are struggling. That probably answers the question. Being a pro doesn't stop you severely dehydrating. Pro's are still human.

What a knock and a very entertaining evening for a non Aussie game for me

Bowlers are totally exhausted. Our blokes would have hit them everywhere too.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Damn you Miller. SA are going to SA this arent' they?

I knew they were going to SA it and absolutely go on to destroy the bowlers.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Jensen to catch Klaasen?

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Jansen’s batting is what I wish green could bring to our lower order

 

[HK_Hawk]

SA showing us how to accelerate and finish off a decent platform

 

[Moonwatcher]

Should get 400 from here.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

I hope Green is watching Jansen bat

 

[Moonwatcher]

It was a tough tough chance

 

[outabounds]

Carnage

 

[Zevon]

South Africa still an outside chance to chalk up 400 given how worn out the English bowlers are. 52 needed off 3 overs.

I should have left out the words “an outside chance” and just declared them morals to get there. Doing it easily.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Jansen has been special. 12 off 20 to start. So 56 off the last 20

 

[Moonwatcher]

5 major contributors in the SA innings.

 

[yabsy]

400 is on here.

They get it in a canter...I was a bit off with my 370 lol

Poor choice sending in Maxwell as he was our only power hitter in the middle order and there was still nearly 20 overs, need Head back to open and send Marsh in the middle order will give us 2 power hitter in the middle order and drop Labuschagne, can't play both him and Smith.

 

[outabounds]

how ws that not a no ball?

 

[Spiral_Out]

Marco Jansen in the last week has shown he has the ability to go down as the best all-rounder in history.

Younger than Cameron Green and far more talented both with bat and ball, unreal.

 

[yabsy]

Curran on fresh as the sub fielder and still made a mess of that.

What were you saying about Jansen's batting position again?

Do Australian selectors even understand the concept of a "power hitter"?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Stop watching to switch over to the Merseyside Derby.
WTF England. Conceding 90 in a 5 over period is ****ing hard to do.

Both these guys came in with a lot of time left in the innings. Difference is they played themselves in before going bang instead of Maxwell throwing it away ball one. I think it was the right call. Not sure I’d go back to it though because Maxi mightn’t have the mindset for it. Seems to think the promotion up the order means he needs to strike at 600
