Lol how can you trust that ultraedge when there were spikes everywhere prior to the ball being anywhere near the bat??

Zampa should be interesting.

2-260 after 33…

8-369 after 47.2 …

Hmm.

lol.
109 off 14 still isn’t terrible going.
But Carey might be feeling a little nervous.

Several worms burned there.

Well, a couple of things of note there.
I wouldn’t have thought it was okay for the keeper to roll the ball back to the bowler.
But the jump off the pitch the ball took when he did that was…interesting…

Couldn’t find a post anywhere but Heath Streak passed away a week ago.

I think it was in Celebrity Deaths.

One of his old teammates (Henry Olonga ?) announced his death a few days early, and Heath responded on Twitter that he wasn’t dead yet.

Few days later…he is now.

Australia won the toss and decided to bowl at Potchefstroom. Three overs bowled and Hazlewood is posing some questions., got one to really spit off a good length in the first over.

Pitch doing a bit so we go back to bowling short ā– ā– ā– ā–  and getting smashed.

That is a hell of a catch by Sean Abbott on the boundary rope to dismiss a rampaging Jansen. One of the better ones I’ve seen.

SAf end up 6/338. Going to be a decent chase.

That scorecard is ordinary reading

Lots of poor bowling and a 9-87 collapse from the bats

Not sure if anyone has seen the Tim David dismissal but that is very ordinary work by the third umpire. Absolutely no way that that can be assessed as a clean catch and given out.

That and the Marsh stumping looked pretty close imo. Was surprised they were both called out

I can’t believe they gave that out, looked liked it bounced cleanly before he got it

Also, that was some sort of catch by Abbott
