[Pakenhamsaint]

Gazza is getting them to turn.

Don't have the volume on the TV, have they said when they are crossing to the news?

Not yet. I suspect they will in the next 10 minutes.

 

[The_Reaper]

Saffer isn't he

Born in London apparently

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

Just looking at the name Dawid Malan, I assumed he was a middle eastern expat. Nope, white English bloke

Yeah me too.

 

[ioppolo]

Malan is like the surname Smith for Afrikaaners, I'd imagine that's his families background.

Middle name of Johannes, so you might be onto something here

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

Smith's field looks really good so far. Lyon looks like he is about to explode again. Starc hasn't done much but he's still bowling well. Tim Paine's calmed down a little bit. Looking good Aussies.

He was born in england but i think he grew up in SA and came back to england as an adult.

 

[Donakebab]

It’s welsh.

No, it's Polish. Dafydd is the Welsh equivalent of David.

Going to assume Saffer parents then.
And apparently Welsh or Polish for the first name?

 

[SterlingArcher]

Born in London apparently

Saffer heritage at least

News is happening after the cricket. That's what they just said.

 

[catpremier 07]

Go to about 7 Melbourne time i think

And apparently Welsh or Polish for the first name?

Yeah from what i can see his old man (dawid snr) and his brother both played first class cricket in SA.

 

[Costanza_]

No, it's Polish. Dafydd is the Welsh equivalent of David.

One of many things British comedy has taught me.

 

[Power Raid]

that was close

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Chappeli commentating now...

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

Nearly another catch.

 

[Mitchell54]

Niiice Gary!!

 

[Gavin Excell]

Good over that.

Tense time in game. Unsure whos ahead

 

[lewigie]

Lyon has been fantastic today.

[Kennedy Parker]

If we get Lyon bowling to Malan a wicket should be imminent. Been getting serious turn.

 

[StillAtLarge]

Hartung is steve waugh's fluffer?

 

[Kipz]

Hartung is steve waugh's fluffer?

Times are tough
