Saffers vs convicts 1st test

[hefty em]

In SA. Live on sky now. Aus 55/2

Smith and Warner in. Lovely sunshine.

Ngidi left out for a seventh bat, which I find odd.

 

[Tonton Zola Moukoko]

Should be a cracking series this.

Agreed! 4 tests

Agreed! 4 tests

Off work with the snow, fire on feet up cricket on.

 

[Pepe]

The lack of people there is embarrassing.

I can’t watch Smith bat

 

[VXi]

Rabada blatantly worked that LBW and umpire didn't give it. Used both reviews in first 10 overs! Poor poor umpiring.

 

[Johnap]

Been good so far apart from Mark Nicholas on commentary.

I find that prick more annoying than Warne, KP and Swann combined .

What happened?

good over 5 outswingers then inswinging yorker would've took leg stump straight out.

Very harsh

did anyone hear KP during the 20/20s?

Don't like Swann's commentary but was funny when they popped back to him and Vaughan in the studio, the visual shock at what they were listening to was apparent.

 

[LD19SAFC]

Plenty starts but SA have taken wickets at key times.

 

[WCC]

SA 162 ao trail by 189
Starc 5/34
De Villiers 71*

Mr Swann - still looking for his backbone that he left in Australia on his last tour...and he is a Mag.

For f*cks sake.

 

[Silly Point]

Much as I hate the crims and have little against the Saffers, it's actually quite reassuring to see them in as bad, if not a worse state than us. They along with NZ are one of the teams I tend to measure us against as we've always been pretty evenly matched with them and had some close series and matches over the years.

ffs not this shite, he was injured. He won his other 3 ashes series and was a major reason for 2 of them.

Just have to shake your head and try and laugh when people come out with this nonsense.

 

[Johnap]

Swann thinks he is funny - he is not. I know he was not popular in dressing rooms as was told to me by people who spared them with him. There was fear in his eyes when he was batting towards the end. I needed to see strength in my team when I look around the dressing room, not prima donnas.

 

[TheRey]

How the f*ck is a South Africa v Australia thread descending into another Swann bashing thread?

FFS

 

[Johnap]

Anyway back to the cricket - Aussies bowled well.
