Thanks Mike! Knew I forgot something haha!

Josh Inglis is out of the last two ODIS and a doubt for the tests after fracturing his index finger...Carey will take the gloves for remainder of ODI series

SA batting first today and are 47-2 after 9 overs...Hazelwood removed markram for 0 and De Kock for 15

Assuming Cameron green isn't fit to bowl again? 6 bowlers used and he isn't one of them?

Might be an unpopular opinion but for me Nathan Ellis has to be in australis first choice ODI XI.....Cummins has played 2 odis since last world cup and marsh would be a better option to captain the side long term....and you can't drop Ellis he has made that spot his own such an improved bowler in last 18 months

Did Ellis pick an injury? Only bowled 4 overs which is strange...

In an unlikely twist Rabada has been named in SA squad for first test match....miraculous recovery or mine games?

Pat Cummins playing today but marsh listed as captain?

Is Cam Green going the same way as Mitch marsh both career wise and injury wise? Once again couldn't bowl yesterday hasn't bowled on the whole tour so far and for someone with such vast talent just flatters to decieve time and time again
