- Thread starter Is it PotG?
- Start date
Webster is all sea against Rabada... will probably make a 100 now 
Australia on top for the first time... 129-4 with Smith and Webster ticking along nicely.
Weird review... that ball hit the middle of the bat
BIG WICKET.... Smith is snaffled in a smart catch 3rd time at slip 
146-5

Always difficult to know who I want to lose most, when these two nations meet, in any sport.
a feather on the glove saves him. Good decision.
Australia all day long.

50* (69 balls, 8 fours)
As unpleasant as India and South Africa are, the answer is always Australia
Carey chucks it away after tea.... reverse sweep, bowled middle.... 192-6
Rabada getting his reward for a great spell.... Cummins castled.
199-7
199-7
And Rabada gets Webster... who lead a charmed life for his 72... 210-8
Nine down.... Jansen skittles Lyon for a duck... 211-9
It has been a great session after tea for South Africa, after Australia dominated the afternoon.
SA have to be very happy having inserted... but batting this evening will be a challenge.

Rabada has a very well deserved FIVE..... 15.4-5-51-5
Australia 212 all out, particularly disappointing after a tricky start, then recovering to 192-5

The reverse sweep is such a horrible, ugly stroke. I hate seeing it in a 4 or 5 day game, from the team I am supporting, and if in charge would BAN my players from using it.
In fact I hate it in short-form cricket too, but can at least see that in that, the risk/reward balance is different.
The number of times you see a well set batsmen make a hash of the reverse sweep and get themselves out. You'd think they would learn.
Starc strikes in the first over... 0-1
This is going to be a real test for the SA batters.
