Australia tour of South Africa, Sept 27-Oct 12

[dan08]

Australia's bowling is even worse than i was expecting.

[dan08]

Can see why the Aussies were batting as if they needed 450.

[yuppie]

Yep, their only hope was making a very big score and hoping scoreboard pressure would help.

SA batsman against Australians most inexperienced attack for many years. SA could make this by the 35th over.

[Aidan11]

Do SA know it's not a T20 game?

[dan08]

6 6 6! De Kock up to 10 sixes.

[dan08]

254/1 in 30 overs.

[Aidan11]

Really went for it.

[Aidan11]

SA going off at a decent lick again.

[Arthur Crabtree]

A couple of unfamiliar names in the Aussie attack, getting the same treatment. Wonder what the first choice Aus attack is? Starc/Cummins/Hastings/Faulkner/Maxwell/Marsh? Maybe missing Watson?

[Arthur Crabtree]

Going by overs bowled since the start of 2015, it's Starc, Faulkner, Hazlewood, Marsh, Maxwell.

[yuppie]

Think Starc and Hazelwood would be the most likely opening partnership of late.

Such an inexperienced Australian attack against an experienced batting line up.

At least it gives the fringe players some experience.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Even that most experienced line up looks heavily reliant on Mitch2.

[yuppie]

Yep.

This weakened attack does mean 10 overs for Mitch3 which is a good thing in the long run for Aussie cricket.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Not even du Plessis coming to the middle is slowing the scoring.

[yuppie]

Seems like Zampa is already an integral part of this bowling line up.

Second most experienced bowler in this line up, behind Hastings who has 25 ODI's to his name

Not sure what an expected good total would be here, but with this line up i would expect SA to be scoring at more than 6 an over.
