[Ice Man]

New predictions @Nikhil_cric @Sachin fan

1) Hazlewood takes a 5 fer
2) Sa bundled out for 270
3) Head and Green steal the show with 100's followed by a 50 from labu, Marsh and inglis fail.

What's the forecast for gibberish in this thread, mate?

 

[BouncerGuy]

PLEASE STAY ON TOPIC NOW

Smash becomes Smashed
Humilate becomes Humilated
Pitch based of future forecast data has a par score of 700

 

[Ice Man]

Yeah renshaw is good

Deserved a chance in the ODI series based on his form. Also, would have liked to have seen Bartlett over Benny D/Ellis. Need to test out the depth.

Aus now adays doesnt make sense.

Renshaw excluded due to age but Webster included in the test team at age 31?

Honestly I think its marsh's ego. Their is no reason why he cant slot down at no 3

 

[mominsaigol]

Openers are doing extremely well, I expect a 100 run partnership

 

[Mobashir]

SA have a brilliant top 6. A very balanced bowling line up. One of the best teams in ODI's.

On the other side, this Australian team looks very weak, withtout bowling (apart from Hazlewood), with good batting and Hardie as the only all rounder.
Don't think Green and Marsh are bowling.

Already Bowled 4 overs and zero wickets


More you'll exposed as game progress 'Mate'

New generation of South African player are very good while Australian new crops are Mostly tullebaaz

South Africa team is nicely building for World Cup 2027 at home

 

[Devadwal]

Josh "Better than Rizwan" Inglis dropped a catch.

It's at Cairns. I suspect 260 maybe enough to defend here

South Africa will be disappointed after such a great start if they can't score more than 300.

Dear God, we were so close to DEFCON 1.

 

[PAKFAN12]

Rickelton don’t have an off side game . Just hacks everything to on side . Gets out most often when he tries to play to the off side

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Yeah, they've batted well so far.

 

[PAKFAN12]

Australia is missing Maxwell's part-time spin bowling

 

[Vikram1989]

Second half will have lots of dew like last t20i.sa may need 300 considering their atrocious bowling under pressure.

Yeah. This surface aso looks better than the pitches at Cairns during the 2022 ODI series.

 

[PAKFAN12]

2 down in 32 overs with plenty of power hitting to come. Time to put the foot on the pedal SA

 

[PAKFAN12]

Why is no match of this series being played on a iconic ground like MCG, SCG , Adelaide oval etc.

We play footy (AFL) during the winter on those grounds, mate.

 

[PAKFAN12]

Bavuma 40 off 56 . 4 off the last 8 balls . This is just isn’t good enough at this situation

 

[Ice Man]

Travis Head picking up crucial wickets wasn't on my bingo card.

 

[mominsaigol]

Dear God, we were so close to DEFCON 1.

I wasnt able to watch the game, was busy at work, just checked the scorecard to see 233/5.

Since when bavuma become a good odi player and Travis Head become Shane Warne?

How did head pick up 3 wickets lol.

Cutting the costs.unless Aussies are sure that crowd will fill the stadium, venues are allocated else where.Aus have white ball tour of ind and ashes later.so they are protecting the pitches and making sure all of big ones are available for those tour.Normally aus won't play in aug but they are making enough room before those tours.pak too got good venues as they have enough support.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Brevis should have taken his time... blind slogging was not needed here.

 

[mominsaigol]

Touch chase for Australia. @Ice Man i think sa have won.

Chasing is easier in this pitch though tbf.

 

[Devadwal]

According to Delusional supporters logic , Dwarshuis ha taken more wickets than hazlewood so he is better than Jos. Just using Bumrah and Siraj logic here.

Hazlewood takes a 5 fer

Sa bundled out for 270

 

[BouncerGuy]

CAN YOU GUYS TALK WITHOUT MAKING ANY PERSONAL REMARKS.????

 

[Devadwal]

Head Warne get's 4 wicket. Now he has become useless player with bat after the Fluke purple patch ,so now he should become part timer bowler.

 

[Devadwal]

Head the part time bowler >>> Hazelwood

 

[Devadwal]

Decent Total on this ground.

Huh?

Pakistan got the main stadiums because the footy season was over. Cricket isn't seen as a winter sport over here and the AFL has arrangements in place during the footy season to play mostly at the main stadiums. Once the footy season is over at the end of September usually, the AFL's arrangements conclude until they start up again next season. The cricket arrangements generally fall in between those periods.

No wuckas, mate. Keen to see how we go about structuring the chase.

Cricket > AFL for Indians. Sorry aussie citizens

 

[Hellion]

Australia can't chase 297 here unless there's significant dew

How do you fluke a purple patch? .

Do you even know what fluke means? It means by accident.

So he accidentally hit a purple patch for a period of 2 years? Must have been some accident, are you sure you weren't a mistake by any chance? Ask your parents next time.

 

[mominsaigol]

Travis Head will likely fail, hes in poor form. Lets see what happens though

Why the series was arranged in August in first place? Have u ever saw an cricket series in August in aus ? Aus knows sa dont fill the stadium. So they can allot any venue

head is good player but massive overrated here

 

[mominsaigol]

No one overrates him. He's a good player and a good find but he is a downgrade from David Warner but an upgrade over Aaron Finch.

I just enjoy pulling @Devadwal and @Vikram1989 legs. Because of me, they now proactively observe Head and comment anytime he gets out and I get a laugh thats all.
