Looking good at 364, good knock by Malan.

yes, when they were trying to bash it around in the last 10 and losing wickets, it showed what a good job JB DW & JR did.

Hopefully we can get early wickets and recover some of the run rate damage suffered against NZ.

Good start! Need to rip through them as quickly as possible. It was only last night when I saw the table I realised just how bad our NRR was... Grim.

 

[AndyRM]

Much more like it today, and a healthy dent made in our shocking NRR. Another poor crowd though and that pitch looks like someone has spray painted over the sand.

Be interesting to see if Pakistan can chase down 345 this afternoon.

Didn't see the SL innings, but they must have had an almighty collapse for it to be as close as it was near the end going off the graphic that flashed up. Entertaining stuff!

 

[AndyRM]

I know it's early doors, but it's looking like another poor crowd at Australia v South Africa. Unless everyone is sat behind the camera there's no way they're making the racket the TV pictures would have you believe!

311 seems a little low to defend against Australia.

I disagree. They have enough
this is being v generous to the Aussies

Its not a lot for the bowlers to work with.

 

[AndyRM]

They mentioned Australia's highest WC chase being 289, which sure was massive in 1999, but not so much now.

 

[T4tomo]

They have a tail longer than a crocodile and got less than 200 vs India the other day!

 

[AndyRM]

True, but that was India!

 

[AndyRM]

Hm, Australia in trouble with both openers out for shy of 30.
