3rd ODI: Australia v South Africa at Hobat Nov 11 2018

[Tommy Smith]

I don't think we've ever been so bad at ODIs in our history.

At least you're not England.

We were that bad for 25 years.

Right up until the 2015 World Cup we still thought scores of 250 were the bomb.

 

[Timbo]

I am I the only one that finds it weird we’ve played half of all the ODIs scheduled for this season, and we’re still 20 days from summer actually starting?

 

[Wizardman]

The whole cricket season feels weird so far to be honest. Not quite the same as in the past.

Say what you want (and many have), Shaun Marsh is the class player in our side at the moment from a batting perspective

Every thirtieth game or so.

Everyone who isn't blind has seen how good marsh can be. The problem is he never takes the game by the thruff of the scrot like he should.

Credit where it's due though. That was a great knock yesterday.

Hence the reason we have lost 18 of our last 20 games.

280 runs in just one innings???

Ticks for all!!!

Bonus points for batting the whole 50 overs!

 

[TheParraboy]

Probably a rare game where the bowlers let us down, especially the last 10-15 overs

We should have kept them well under 270, but well batted to faf and miller

We certainly won a lot of little battles along the way...

Things would be so different if Freddy Fittler was coaching.

And some of the batsman even watched the ball, JL would be so proud.

Carey cost us any chance of winning by dropping a sitter off FAF... they would have been 4/100.

memories of the great nugget?

I missed the whole SA innings from 3/60 odd onwards

It was very Wade like. Even went for the “I can’t believe I dropped that” face....

As usual, LA Locky is a clueless f**ktard.

Should have caught it for sure, but sitter? LOL. Solid edge keeping up to the spinner, good deviation and smacked him square in the fingers. Could just as easily say Head dropped a "sitter" getting a full hand to a diving effort at cover earlier.

Maybe it's a sitter to someone who sits in private jets all the time, but those of us with actual cricket experience realise they often stick or don't when the keeper is up like that.
