No wicket from Boland too?

I think it’s less Australia wanting to bowl first and preferring to bat 2nd, I think we are a tad wary of their bowling lineup which is the only thing that’s gonna win them a test. The prospect of bowling in 40 degree heat tomorrow would’ve been a factor for Cummins too

This is certainly the psychological take-away their attack will draw from this, and another massive factor in why we simply should have batted first.

That’s cricket for you. Absolute peach of a delivery doesn’t get a wicket. Next ball a wide one gets the edge. Poor shot selection

After beating the bat with a pearler, Scotty gets a healthy edge to Khawaja in slip. Erwee gone for 18. SA 1/29

Second delivery I see this morning is Scotty Boland doing what Scotty Boland does.

The previous ball was the better one.

Ffs went to make a coffee and missed it.

Knew as soon as I got up…

I don’t think it’s too soon for a bronze statue.

Oh, that’s beautiful.
The stillness. Stays down. Watches the ball into his hands (as much as you can at that height).
Really impressive.
