SA tour of Australia, Oct 22-Nov 28

[hopeforthebest]

Handscomb makes a debut 50.

Indeed. What was it someone was saying after the last test about Aussie test prospects benefitting from time in county cricket. Apparently I was crazy for suggesting it, and that it was impossible anyway.

He played for Gloucestershire and struggled to make runs for much of the early season. Got his eye in when the better weather arrived. I had him my T20 team which was a big mistake.

Looks like a bit of a technical flaw there for Handscomb. Big gap between bat and pad, little front foot movement.

Maybe Maddison is the answer.

[yuppie]

Was Voges dropped?

Kinda though he had concussion as well from a state game.

But i would say dropped.

Great over from Abbott. Maddison fishing.

Maddison qwack qwack...

[sussexpob]

I really hope this lad Rabada stays fit and fulfills his potential.

Thats a Waqar Younis at his prime moment, that....

[yuppie]

Suddenly Australia look in trouble.

Cracking delivery though for Maddison.

12 overs left, sadly got to dash.

Wont be surprised to find Australia bowled out for under 300 when i check back later.

[sussexpob]

Wade goes... Yuppie might be right

[yuppie]

Just before a go, a lot of movement off the seam from the SA quicks. Suddenly seems very hard to bat in the evening. 6 down and Aus need to make it to tomorrow.

mini-collapse here for australia

does smith declare now with a small lead and get 10 overs at SA tonight ?

[sussexpob]

Starc in, as Yuppie says the ball is suddenly doing something. And Starc's batting has disappeared recently. Can see him lasting long

[sussexpob]

Starc gets the finger.... review saves him

[rich1uk]

starc survives after a review

that must have pitched outside of the line of leg by a bawhair

The kind of save on review that makes you think that technology's margin of error might not represent the actual picture....

in theory there should be less margin for error on where the ball pitches as there is no predictive element, its more like the hawkeye system from tennis so should be reliable

[rich1uk]

been so many uncalled no-balls in this game

onfield umpire seems to be almost ignoring them completely and just checking when a wicket falls
