Head picks up his second wicket in the last over before the new ball.
Rahane looking very good.

6492

At least this was a legitimate one from Trav, Iā€™m doubtful his LBW call on Waha wouldā€™ve hit a second set of stumps :joy:

Yadav, agricultural af but very effective.

6494

Good ton from Rahane.
A few false shots, but most innings have them.
He looks good.

Just saw that LBW.

Wow. That was a horrible decision.

One of the greatest skills a batsman can have, and itā€™s something you canā€™t teach, is the ability to miss a forward defensive shot by half an inch.
Rahane has it.

6497

Itā€™s the skill of not following the ball with the hands if it does deviate away from the bat. And also being able to put the previous ball out of your memory and focus on the next one. Pujara and Rahane will be key men for India, especially when Kohli leaves the tour after the First Test. They are the rocks that everyone else has to bat around.

The 1st RSA v ENG ODI has been called off, this time due to hotel staff members having tested positive to COVID-19ā€¦

Starc out of the final 2 T20ā€™s due to a family illness. Sams to be his replacement.

Finch also out, Wade to be captain and will also be WK.

1 Dā€™Arcy Short, 2 Matthew Wade (capt. and wk), 3 Steven Smith, 4 Glenn Maxwell, 5 Moises Henriques, 6 Marcus Stoinis, 7 Sean Abbott, 8 Daniel Sams, 9 Mitchell Swepson, 10 Adam Zampa, 11 Andrew Tye

Very weak batting lineup

India won the toss and chose to bowl.

Swepson and Zampa, 2 leggies. Very interesting!

6501

I like Swepson as a Test prospect. Was ripping it up in shield.

6502

Wade with some audacious shots in the first couple of overs. No false shots, hitting it hard.

The best Iā€™ve seen Wade play in the shorter format is opening the battingā€¦

Wrong thread

6506

Short throws his wicket away when he didnā€™t need to and Smith now in.

6507

On 47 Wade plays his first false shot, and l donā€™t mean the ball he was dropped on. Indian bowling looks a bit pedestrian, as in friendly.

6508

Wade brings up his 50 in 25 balls. Phew!

6509

Wade, a well batted 50. 52 off 26.

1/65 after 6.3

6510

Wade has entered beast mode

Just smashing everything
