South Africa Vs Australia odis & Tests

[Arthur Crabtree]

Nine down. SA on the brink.

[Durhamfootman]

All over

[andy]

Incredible victory and comeback for SA especially with a bowler down!! Australis batting effort summed up though by hazlewoods dismissal at the end when trying to save the game..

How much longer do they persist with Labuschagne,? This is getting to Zak Crawley levels of delusion. Maddinson looks out of his depth too.

Going to be an interesting Ashes. Australia are very beatable, but England wildly inconsistent too.

[andy]

I would have thought Maddinson, Marnus and Webster will be left out....I would personally go this side for cape town

Head
Renshaw
Inglis
Smith
Green
Carey
Connolly
Cummins
Starc
Boland
Lyon

Inglis not ideal at 3 I would rather Marnus but Connolly can't bat 3 in tests and I'm assuming green isn't fit to bowl...can't leave Boland out and cape town is expected to turn so Lyon back in

[GarlicJam]

To be fair bowler down and always difficult following on...be good for the series for SA to win this test

that it is - and it was a fine test win to them as well. At 4 for bugger all, an innings victory would have been long odds at the bookies.

You'd rather Marnus? Really? He's not even made it to 50 for 14 innings - averaging 25 in the last couple of years. He's had it.

I didn't put him in my side for cape town if you look, but I really don't rate Connolly which is why Inglis is at 3 there....

[mikesiva]

Australia 295 all out

Head 121
Boland 40

Rabada 4-77
Mulder 3-64

South Africa won by an innings and 31 runs.

[mikesiva]

99 all out...Nortje has a groin injury and highly unlikely he will bowl again...

Who comes in for Nortje? Bosch or Coetzee?

Ackerman and Breetzke still yet to make an impact in Test cricket.

I imagine Coetzee will come in....to be fair to Ackerman it was his debut
