2nd Test: Australia v South Africa @ MCG Dec 26-29, 2022

[simmo1]

Could be a repeat of the Adelaide test a few years back, where Pattinson broke down and Faf and AB played a blinder to get a draw against half a bowling attack. You never know, one of these South African top 5 might play out of their skin and score more than 20 in the 2nd innings.

 

[Wizardman]

Three full time bowlers left will be tough going. I'd expect Marnus to do quite a bit of bowling in the second innings.

 

[This Year?]

For everyone complaining about the snicko wicket:
Simon has concluded that a part of the stitching from the seam has brushed an edge and snicko was so good that it picked it up.

 

[This Year?]

Watching tail enders going the tonk is fun.

Rabada getting slapped around by a bald man, you normally have to pay extra for that.

Well after being denied Head by a bloke with a 'mo my day is complete.

 

[hineyrulz]

Slaps Nigidi down the ground, a bald on bald crime.

 

[This Year?]

That's a beautiful sound.

 

[hineyrulz]

Quality assault this.

[Hutty1986]

Very handy runs from Lyon

 

[This Year?]

And bald wins!

And bald wins!

It’s a Christmas miracle!!!!

Carey is crisp. His batting, his dress sense.

There's something unnerving about him.

 

[hineyrulz]

Why risk further injury??? Bring Boland out first and then check where the game is at.

 

[This Year?]

If we can get to a lead of 300+ I don't think we'll have to bat again.

The grand Canyon of space between his eyes.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

This is what I do next test.

Carey to 6. Play an extra bowler, possibly a spinner. His form looks sumptuous and wasted at 7 atm.

He’s out of Sydney test anyway. Hold up an end and let Carey smath the beetles.
