[Justcrazy]

Rilee looking good and confident here.

 

[Justcrazy]

52 /2

11 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

marsh to bowl now.

 

[cricketindiafan]

Aussie seamers bowling around 136-137 kmph, decent by our standards but very 'unAustralian' if I may se the term. What happened to Boof's theory of only having guys capable of bowling consistently over 140+

 

[leatherface58]

AB isn't playing?

 

[Justcrazy]

62 / 2


13 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Just 92 more to play with for Aussies here.

 

[Justcrazy]

three down

 

[Zaad]

Africa will chase this down, if they had to chase down around 230+ that could've been difficult!

 

[Justcrazy]

A couple of wickets here will spice things up.

[Mr Consistent]

boundary from Faf

 

[Mr Consistent]

jhonson back

 

[Mr Consistent]

superb shot by Ab

 

[Fastandfurious]

De villiers plays Johnson like a school boy.

 

[Mr Consistent]

Ab on fire

 

[Mr Consistent]

3 four's in Over

 

[Fastandfurious]

AB the freak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This guy is an absolute freak!

 

[JustAnotherFan]

De villiers plays Johnson like a school boy.

Yip. Dunno how Johnson got that ICC award when AB beats him hands down on the field.

 

[Mr Consistent]

Faf Gone

 

[Fastandfurious]

Behardien is crap. Dunno why SA keeps selecting him.

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Behardien should never play another game for South Africa. Not once has he looked remotely international standard.

 

[Mr Consistent]

Hazlewood on hat-trick now

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Seriously dunno what Behardien is doing in the side. He is not the worst top 6 batsmen in international cricket.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

De villiers plays Johnson like a school boy.

That too on this pitch.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

SA are rushing things unnecessarily here. They have 30 overseas left. What's the hurry?

 

[Fastandfurious]

AB got ridiculous reflexes.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Can't wait on pitches like these. Wickets fall in bunches. De villiers knows that.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

SA are rushing things unnecessarily here. They have 30 overseas left. What's the hurry?

Guess they are trying to prove a point. Strike a mental blow.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

AB wants more than Marsh.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Kids, you're watching one of the greatest batsman to ever play this game.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

1 run an over needed now. lol

 

[Fastandfurious]

Hazlewood reminds me of Mcgrath. [MENTION=132373]Convict[/MENTION] how tall is he?

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Dunno who is worse ... Johnson or Steyn.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Great batting.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Wish AB would finish the misery in 3 balls

 

[JustAnotherFan]

lol. I jinxed him.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Here comes the big C.

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Hate it when De Villiers does that.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

I mean the Big Vern

 

[Fastandfurious]

Great bowling. Smart one this guy.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Well done Miller .... puts it away for 4

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Coulter-Nile has had a mare this game.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

I can see the strategy here. Finish it off ASAP in this over.

 

[Hawkeye]

AB >>> everyone else.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Game.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

AB must be slapping himself after not getting his 50, but at the end of the day who cares about individual records. AB is probably the most likable guy (besides Hash)

 

[Fastandfurious]

AB >>> everyone else.

There is no competition. He is a freak.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Well done Hazlewood. I predicted that.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Hazlewood is nasty. Great thinking bowler.

 

[Hawkeye]

These bouncy track bully bowlers will get a beating of their life in Asian conditions.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Well done Steyn. Mr Aggro does it.

 

[IAJ]

If this was a WC match, Proteas would definately have choked.

 

[Fastandfurious]

These bouncy track bully bowlers will get a beating of their life in Asian conditions.

Hazlewood is quality. Will be a handful anywhere. Has swing, seam, bounce and good pace. Great bowling acumen as well [MENTION=132373]Convict[/MENTION] I'm impressed. This guy should be an automatic in tests.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Would have been funny if Warner had taken out Johnson in that slip catch. I have once seen fielders run into each other in the deep due to no communication.

 

[Hawkeye]

Hazlewood is quality. Will be a handful anywhere. Has swing, seam, bounce and good pace. Great bowling acumen as well [MENTION=132373]Convict[/MENTION] I'm impressed. This guy should be an automatic in tests.

I just saw him today for some time and he wasn't moving the ball.

Swing and seam is necessary for SC conditions and if he got that, can be successful. Bowls good consistent lines.

Did you watch the first 10 overs?

 

[Hawkeye]

Did you watch the first 10 overs?

No.

 

[wrongun]

Hazlewood reminds me of Mcgrath. [MENTION=132373]Convict[/MENTION] how tall is he?

Same height as McGrath basically. McGrath might have been quicker at the same age.

 

[Convict]

Hazlewood is 196. He's mostly mid 130s to high 130s/low 140s but I have seen him bowl 146 in big bash.

Big effort ball though.

My mail for a while is that he was a big chance for the Gabba and it's not hard to see why.
The main thing holding back was injury and the lack of really good bowling performances- he was always good for 2-3 at a decent average but never went further.

At the tail end of last season and the start of the season he's starting to have the real big performances now.

For non Australian followers he might seem like he's new on the bloke but for anyone who follows Australian cricket he's been talked about for a long time. Despite being younger than Pattinson and Starc, Hazlewood made his first class debut way back in 2008 and first played for Australia in 2010. He was always considered the next big thing until Cummins came along and took that mantle and Pattinson and Starc managed to have a decent run at international level.
