You're right Lem. Hazelwood was outstanding.

Re: ODI v South Africa

Looking at the scores.
Both us and RSA bowled well. The WACA is known as a very good pitch for bowlers.

Re: ODI v South Africa

Steve Smith just purposely whipped a ball from outside off through his legs and to the midwicket boundary...I have read stories about Victor Trumper doing the same thing but never actually considered it possible. What an unbelievable eye.

Just listening to that right royal pain in the arse Lawson .
If there is ABC cuts can they fire him.
Lisa Stalaker doing special comments uttered the word " batter" and Lawson moaned that its " batsman"
FFS who gives a continental Lawson

Re: ODI v South Africa

Didn't see any of the SA innings,but on checking the scores it would appear they had it wrapped up at 3/224 after 37.1 overs.

Almost another case of them snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Starc and Hazelwood must both have bowled well.

I quite like Lawson as a commentator.

Re: ODI v South Africa

Has there been any talk of Finch being included in our test team? Seems to go alright in the shorter versions of the game.

I don't usually mind Lawson as a commentator but he was really getting on my nerves last night. A batsman and a batter are two different things. Batsman rely on technique while batters are the guys who rely on their hand/eye coordination and just tonk the ball.

Hasn't been able to make the grade at shield level.
He is light years off the test team.

SA batting in the 4th in Melbourne.

Currently 5/230 in the 43rd over. Cummins with 2 wickets.

Good lord no .
He can't make a run in the longer form.
