South Africa v Australia; Second Test at St George's Park, Port Elizabeth.

[Doss]

Dale Steyn is fit for the next test. They won't miss much.

Steyn is an all time great, but I highly doubt he's the bowler of yesteryear now.

Rabada is better now, as is Philander. Rabada will be a big loss.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I read he's more likely to be fit enough to play in Johannesburg but not Cape Town.

Thought I heard GSmith on commentary saying he was ready for the next test.

Either way they won't miss a lot. Steyn is class.

 

[gordo2016]

Can the on field umps issue a warning for behaviour?

They can for things like beamers and running on the wicket but send offs? I think it would be a welcome move if they did but I'm genuinely unsure if they have that power.

Under laws recently introduced, players can get sent off for misconduct.

 

[sherb]

Rabada getting in Warner's face was truly a meeting of the minds.

 

[010203]

Steyn's done, Rabada is way better now. Called it in the first test when they played together vs Ind. Steyn is past it, Rabada is it.

The cricket fan in me hopes Steyn has two great performances in him even if they come in this series.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Steyn is an all time great, but I highly doubt he's the bowler of yesteryear now.

Rabada is better now, as is Philander. Rabada will be a big loss.

With our batting lineup they won't miss much. We are 2.5 wickets out, all out. Smith, Warner and I'll give SMarsh a half. The rest are a rabble most of the time.

 

[Doss]

pretty much the standard in world cricket

if you're playing against Australia you can say and do what you like with zero accountability and still claim victim status

Can I have some of those chips from your shoulders? I'm peckish.

And as I said in the other thread, you're putting the cart way before the horse. Rabada is cooked.

Mate please stop, because if you keep posting this victim rubbish I will eviscerate you back to the batcave.

 

[Moonwatcher]

10% of the way to a defendable total.

Still think Morkel has something to offer

Well, unfortunately, we seem to be getting close to that point with this guy. The only thing he hasn't done is snot somebody. Possibly the worst behaved player I can think of apart from maybe Harbajan Singh (who did snot somebody)

 

[LukeParkerno1]

lol and the stupid reverse sweep comes out...

Stop trying to be like Maxwell otherwise you can join him.

Could've given it 5 mins b4 deleting.
Some poor bugger would have appreciated watching.

True, but Reckon you underrate yourself,

No seriously, can you please back up your off hand statement and give examples about when Australia has been harshly done by I'm waiting and ready...

Not convinced. You'd think so but this is the same match referee that exonerated Singh and openly attacked Symonds in the Monkeygate hearing.

I'll believe it when I see and not before

 

[LukeParkerno1]

A bloke like Sayers would have been a nightmare on this track.

 

[010203]

Ngidi is giant South African quick according to Adam Collins. Has he not seen Morne Morkel?

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Exactly and the reason why McGrath was so good because he was so consistent with his line and length while not being overly fast or express pace etc but he put the ball on the spot every time just about.

We are just so erratic at times and all over the place for big periods of play.

The worrying thing about the Aussie attack for me is when things are travelling nicely for them, they are world beaters, but the moment they're under any type of pressure, they seem to drop right off and start bowling rubbish.

 

[PhatBoy]

Man of the match in the 1st test and from the cricket I have seen in the past

So starc’s 1 MOTM award in 42 tests eclipses rabada’s 4 in 28 tests?

 

[La Dolce Vita]

True, but Reckon you underrate yourself,

No seriously, can you please back up your off hand statement and give examples about why Australia is harshly done by I'm waiting and ready...

lol is this a joke
obviously started watchin cricket yesterday...start with anytime we have played India in the last 10 years for the ignorant

Agree but he just looks old now, reckon old Davey would smash him silly now. It's sad but fast blowers like Steyn fall quickly.
