Triangular Series | Australia v South Africa | Final | Sep 6, 2014 | Harare

[MenInG]

Both Australia and SA are pretty much equally matched although Australia's embarrassing defeat to hosts Zim must be a cause of concern.

Match begins soon.

 

[MenInG]

South Africa put Australia to bat

 

[Convict]

Faulkner in for Richardson

 

[Convict]

Finch and Hughes starting well again.

[Convict]

And Hughes out

 

[Mr Consistent]

Hughes

 

[Firebreaker]

Hughes is a flop cricketer,Ferguson and Lynn should have been in the team

 

[Convict]

yeah nah

I'm sure you didn't see the last match where it was Hughes who anchored the innings and layed down the platform for Marsh to go berserk. He's not a world-beater, but he's a more than competent player in ODIs. Much better than Lynn and Ferguson.

 

[OZGOD]

Double

 

[OZGOD]

About to go to bed but geez Bailey is a hack. The most useless player since Simon Krapich.

 

[Sakss]

88-3 now

 

[Convict]

About to go to bed but geez Bailey is a hack. The most useless player since Simon Krapich.

I'm actually wondering when questions are going to be asked about Bailey.

All the talk is about the top order but Hughes and Finch have both performed well this series.

So far the only talk about the middle order comes from the idiots who don't think Clarke is in our best XI

Bailey is the perfect example of a "specialist lower order batsman". He doesn't even have the excuse of being able to bowl adequately. He's not even a bits and pieces cricketer...he's just a bits cricketer. He nicks off to the slips about as much as Dhoni does and his slogging comes off about as much as Dhoni's does and he can flog the ball to all parts in the subcontinent like Dhoni - but Dhoni at least keeps wicket.

 

[desi_launda]

Finch was really struggling

 

[Mr Consistent]

2 wickets in 2 balls for styen

 

[desi_launda]

Maxwell out steyn on hat trick

 

[Mr Consistent]

Steyn on a hat-trick

 

[Mobashir]

"Maxwell can't solve this equation.. Steyn has been reversing it in in the second spell"

Faf on fire as Philander is not playing?

Steyn really is a champion bowler in every format! Maxwell had a really quite tournament apart from the first match against Zimbabwe...

 

[Convict]

Maxwell is another player that should be under the gun. I reckon Mitch Marsh could push him out the side before the world cup

 

[Mr Consistent]

118-5

30 overs

 

[Mr Consistent]

ahmad: "Finally Australians know how we feel having Afridi in our team."

Dhoni would make any ODI side as a batsman alone.

Don't think Bailey is as good in terms of chasing

Maxwell's bowling is really quite useless too

 

[MarkCooper]

I think Michael Clarke's last tweet sums up how I feel abous this sudden reverse swing after the ball is 14 overs old

 

[Convict]

At least with Faulkner, Johnson and Starc we bat deep

 

[MarkCooper]

Well, after half a dozen games in this series, the ball starts reversing when its is 14 overs old for a side who has been found ball tampering three times recently.

Hmmm

Is Faf Du Zipper Du Ball playing for SA?

 

[Arsal_AK]

Philander's not playing.Who could it be?

Faf is still there.

 

[desi_launda]

Why is Clarke not playing?injured?

[Convict]

Mitch needs to hit Steyn's ball out of the stands

Why is Clarke not playing?injured?

Hamstring

 

[SL_Fan]

Aus to take this one out by an arm triangle choke

Game will be 'interesting', if Aus reverse it too

 

[Aman]

Can Steyn finish with 6?

 

[Mr Consistent]

150 up for australia

 

[SL_Fan]

Can Aus somehow get to 200?

 

[SL_Fan]

Faulkner and Starc both more than handy with the willow.

 

[Mr Consistent]

six runs

 

[desi_launda]

Starc outscoring faulkner

 

[Mr Consistent]

by Faulkner

 

[Mr Consistent]

good over for aus so far

 

[OZGOD]

Woke up to check the score. Thought we would be out for 150. Bit of death cowlashing going on eh?

 

[OZGOD]

Dhoni would make any ODI side as a batsman alone.

Don't think Bailey is as good in terms of chasing

Ya but he's still a cowlasher.

 

[Mr Consistent]

200 up for australia

 

[Mr Consistent]

four runs
good batting by faulkner & starc

 

[Mr Consistent]

faulkner

 

[Mr Consistent]

[Saurav]

Faulkner again proving handy with the bat

 

[Mr Consistent]

by faf

 

[Mr Consistent]

79-1
15 overs

 

[Mr Consistent]

South Africa require another 139 runs

 

[hadi123]

boring end to tournament

 

[Mr Consistent]

by faf

 

[Mr Consistent]

100 up for Sa

 

[Fastandfurious]

50 for Faf once again, in super form. Looks like #3 is the spot for him.

 

[Mr Consistent]

: for Faf du Plessis

 

[Mr Consistent]

half century for amla

 

[Fastandfurious]

for the run machine once again

 

[Justcrazy]

SA should win this

 

[Mr Consistent]

amla

 

[Justcrazy]

Parnel promoted up the order.

 

[Justcrazy]

Just 103 required.

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate just over four.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Parnell playing a knock.

 

[Justcrazy]

A few wickets here should spice up the game.

 

[Mr Consistent]

another boundary for Faf du Plessis

 

[Zero]

Looks like the idea to send Parnell didn't pay off.
