Second Test- Australia v South Africa

[1910]

Hobart on Saturday.

Burns in for Marsh
Bird or Mennie in for Siddle
Fergurson in for Voges (if ruled out)

Huge effort to back up after bowling on all four days for our bowlers.

 

[Broncoman]

Burns has got a good record batting in Australia and probably should'be been playing in Perth.

Would be happy with either Meannie or Bird.

He's only played four Tests away from home and scored 170 his highest Test score.

It is Mennie.

Fergurson and Meannie on debut.

Conditions suit Meannie.

 

[1910]

South Africa to bowl. Good old Hobart- BOWL!

 

[1910]

First SACA to debut in 1900 days!
First time since 1995 two have debuted together.

Well done; they've rebuilt nicely from some dark times.

Warner gone in the first over. **** me drunk.

It's Hobart, if you score 150 you're doing well.

Lovely shot selection for the first over of a test.

 

[Unbreakable]

Thus ends the illustrious test career of Joe Burns.

I kinda think he was sabotaged to be honest, who would want to be picked for Australia coming off 2 fails in Shield and have to face a South African pace line-up in Hobart, that's like a perfect storm of things that will end your test career.

Just tuned in... lol.

 

[ningnangnong]

4/12 now.

This is going well.

Haha, did the third umpire just say 'get off this shit' whilst Philander was lying on the ground?

 

[ningnangnong]

Is Philander actually seriously hurt from that?

Geez, must be brittle.

Yep gave me a chuckle too. Great change to the game plan by Smith: take out their bowlers.

 

[tommy]

This looks gone.

 

[ningnangnong]

Run out now.

It's all happening!

It's the same as the 'Gabba- if you're not prepared to wait for the sky to clear up and chase wide ones you knick them.

Australia average 406 batting first at Hobart from 12 Tests.
Batting first at Hobart in those 12 Tests falls slightly to 384.
