MOTM Cummins
You kidding? Doesnât seem very high standard to me tbh.
MOTS Smith
I guess weâll find out when Australia goes over there
What?
He was talking about the current test going on which doesnât seem very high standard tbh, not what is going to happen when we get there.
Yep I understand that. Why would it not seem high standard? Just because of the scores?
The parts iâve watched seemed pretty good although granted some of the shot selection could be better.
It is no better than our set of tests. People like to paint this picture that this series was crap while others are better. So far from what i have seen they are on a level.
I know a lot on here like to talk down the Aussies but they played pretty good cricket and won the series 4=0, letâs not put that down (and I am not referencing you aboods).

The aussies probably did play good cricket. The bowling attack certainly seems very good.
Itâs just a little bit hard to judge how good we were when we were only challenged for small periods in most tests and England seemed to fly the white flag at times.
It will certainly be a fascinating series against South Africa and it will be good to watch some competitive test cricket. As long as our fast bowlers stay fit I think weâre a reasonable chance.
He was a ridiculous selection. Anyone close to him was saying he was not ready and had severe restrictions in terms of what he could do on the field due to his stage in the recovery.
Lynn himself has said he canât train properly but they selected him anyway. Then Smith came out and said Maxwell needs to improve his nets/ training work. WTF?

Lynnâs selection is all Geeves fault.
Itâs true though. At grade cricket and local cricket even there never was a heat policy until about 15 years ago. Itâs all about being smarter like they do with tennis and other sports. At grade cricket if it was above 44 we had drinks every 10 overs and extended lunch and tea breaks by 15 minutes, the square leg umpire carried water and there bottles strategically placed around the boundary and in the sprinkler covers. There are plenty of ways to manage the heat better but if would cost CA too much money otherwise why do games have to start so late? Start them at 8am if itâs going to be extremely hot. Even now in our junior comp if itâs predicted to be over 36 we start an hour early
Well, yeah. Adapting to conditions is obviously a good idea. I think they cancel junior games in my area if itâs predicted to get over 40.

Sth African batting looking decidedly shaky, albeit in bowler friendly conditions. Our attack will definitely be in the game over there. Can see it being a bowler dominated seriesâŚ

Steyn comes out to bat with the Saffies 207 ahead. Got a feeling this is going to ba a thriller.My only wish is for Kohli ito be dismissed for < 10. Donât care who wins.
ABdV loses his wicket goinâ the tonk. 208 for India to pull off the win
