Definitely some shit performances. But the difference between the pitch at the end of day 2 and the pitch on day 3 is laughable. They put a steam roller over it.

Yeah not good signs. Hopefully we can either tighten things up or Lyon gets something out of the pitch.

These 2 have probably used up the best batting conditions of the day too. Should be overcast for the rest of days play.

There’s also a very good chance South Africa has one of the shit batch of dukes that disintegrates after 30 overs.

Our ball died a bit after 40 overs too. It’s still moving, the new ball will do plenty. We need early wickets though.

Honestly I already reckon we have enough, although not comfortably so.

Slightly different for Green I feel given this is literally his first international game back from a major time out of the game, batting out of position and on a pitch that’s pretty much impossible as a top order batsman. Also way younger than Khawaja. Either way the WI series will probably be...

The pitch is certainly still doing enough to bundle SA out under 150.

First 2 innings were magnificent bowling but this current one has had some atrocious batting.

It was an absolute clinic, some of the best fast bowling I ever watched I reckon. Starc started off with 3 wobble seamers in exactly the same spot and then swung one in to Markrams off stump. Honestly the whole day was great bowling.

The ball is seaming a ridiculous amount, we could definitely end up obliterating their line up if it keeps doing this

Yeah he just didn’t move his feet at all and squared up to one that didn’t really do much in the air.

I’m the biggest Green supporter out there but ******** me knicking off to an off stump half volley is seriously poor.

Honestly for 2 days out that’s not that green at all

Don’t mind Kuhnemann for ODIs, wouldn’t pick him for T20s though.

https://www.cricket.com.au/news/4277330 Over 220,000 tickets sold in the first day of presales. The previous record was 112,000. SCG is sold out on days 1, 2 and 3.

I definitely know what you’re talking about by the “feeling”, it’s really hard to put a finger on why. Maybe it’s just knowing that you’ve got the batsman under a lot of pressure.

That wasn’t a line up, just a list of good batsman in our team lol. I’m not opening with Smith. There’s probably 0% chance Head opens.

Yeah, other than that opening slot though we actually have a really impressive batting line up. Khawaja, Smith, Green, Head, Webster, Carey is a lineup I can get behind.
