1st Test: Australia v South Africa at Perth on Nov 3-7, 2016

242 is not what you want if you win the toss and bat but from 2/6, 3/20 & 4/50 odd they'll take it.

Shot!!! It looks a good deck to me.

I've noticed this "you'd take that" as a Kiwi commentator thing:

If you woke up this morning, and someone said, "you'd be etc etc, you'd take that. Wouldn't you?"

Noticed it during world cup and then all last summer.

Just like everyone saying they'd have a 'dip' after Justin Langer said at Scorchers game they'd chase a total and give it a 'red hot dip'.

Anyway. Finally saw the last two wickets despite watching most of the arvo and only flicking and being in and out.

Rick Steyn has some nice tatts since his last tour here, looks pretty tough

Bowls with some serious heat...

[TheParraboy]

Has Philander put on some weight, or always been a bit porky??

I can feel Shaun Marsh's shitness coming through in the Cricinfo commentary.

 

[hineyrulz]

lol No ball, that may have been close.

 

[hineyrulz]

It was out lol, hahahahahaha!!

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Zero sympathy for bowlers who Bowl no balls.

 

[hineyrulz]

Raise the bat Darsh.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Darsh finally off the mark.

A momentous occasion indeed

 

[hineyrulz]

Not sure what is worse to watch - Warney's face or Marsh batting.
