Australia v South Africa

[broncsgoat]

Cant wait for our topline batsman Cummins to come to the crease

 

[roo-ted]

I think the boys did alright, M Marsh and Paine are established now with Cummins to come, I'd say 350 would be our goal

No back up opener could really hurt us.
Let's hope Cam Bancroft can find some form but he really looks gone.
Nice consolidation in the last session.

Excellent day of cricket. Maharaj was outstanding and made Australia play at everything we only left one ball all day.
Last two Tests here an Australian has got a 100 in each innings. Ponting 2006 and Hughes 2009.
Someone better getting moving if that’s to continue. Plenty of starts but no one getting on with it.

Paine gooone

Apparently 306 is the average innings score at this ground. Bowlers need to dig in. MnM continuing to impress.

And in strides Australia's "real" allrounder - PJ Cummins..

Similar batting average to MMarsh, and he can actually take wickets...

Not the best time to sink the boot into Marsh, he is actually going really well out there. Seems to have grown up a bit to be honest. If he can get injury free too, his bowling is actually his strength. So if his batting has improved as much as it seems to have, he might actually be beginning to reach his massive potential.

I could watch Rabada bowl all day. He is going to be one of the greatest bowlers of all time.

On that point, how good would it to be someone like Starc or Cummins who can handle the willow and if they receive some roughing up, can come out and seriously dish what they receive back out, in most cases with extra heat.

Some one needs to get this run rate moving

Yep got themselves bogged down, that's for sure.

Yeah Cummins got 3 from 38 balls that's negative batting. I can see what he might of been trying to do, but if he's holding up one end Marsh needed to attack

 

[roo-ted]

Go Stacy!

350 still on the cards?

If Marsh goes nuts and one of Lyon or Hazlewood hang around, it is possible but I reckon 320 or less all out is looking likely.

Yep time to cash in some runs while we are still out there

 

[Sproj]

This innings from Marsh is absolutely top shelf, even if he gets out, this innings has been absolutely stunning. Chapeau sir, chapeau.
