CRICKET First Test- Australia v South Africa

[BroncsFan]

Boland is into the action... can't put any edges near Cam in gully

 

[Fernando]

Boland! Green just does not drop 'em huh?

Boom Cummins and Boland are destroying SA now

Should've opened with them

 

[BroncsFan]

Two right handers at the crease now... Boland and Cummins should be in their element, if they weren't already

 

[BroncsFan]

SCOBO!!

Unless he's hit this it looks good... seamed a long way

Scraping the top bail...

 

[Sproj]

He is a threat every single ball Scotty

 

[Fernando]

Yewww!

Are test batsmen just not used to playing at every ball like he Boland makes them?

 

[BroncsFan]

Double wicket maiden for Scotty B... normalcy returns

 

[Browny]

Crazy

 

[Fernando]

Starc is a gun but wonder if he misses out in England again next year

Why is Green using so many short balls all of a sudden??

He bowls mid 130's and is 6'4... if he just consistently bowls in the 4th stump channel on a length he'd pick up bucket loads of wickets and would be hard to get away for runs

He's really under pressure for the first time in his test career but that length right there is where he needs to stay.

It's a clear coaching tactic, but he's just not suited for it.

It's like Australia saw how successful it was for Wagner last year and wanted to replicate it with someone like it's the new meta

I hate the short pitch bowling. He gets good bounce, let him bowl a decent length

It's the easiest tactic for tall fast bowlers... It worked for Morne, it works for Hazlewood... just bowl at off stump on a length and let his height create bounce that is constantly hitting high on the bat.
