3rd Test: Australia v South Africa at Adelaide on Nov 24-28, 2016

[Bazal]

Starc will nick off within a few balls.

Either that or he'll finally say "f**k it" and smack Philander halfway to West Lakes. I hope it's the latter lol

 

[Pete Cash]

Also our tail is so soft these days. we are like 4 out all out basically. the only difference from perth is we got some runs from our number 5

 

[aussies1st]

You have to be impressed with Usman's innings, though - a brilliant Test match innings.

Side needs more batsmen like him. Renshaw is a start

 

[_snafu_]

Go the ramp shot...

Fun fact:

Starc is ranked 7th in the test match allrounder category

(poms have 4 in the top 10)

Freddie still in there???

Ussy might need to do that shortly i reckon

 

[Bazal]

OUT
Maddinson
Wade

IN
Patterson
Nevill

I'm not a fan of Maddinsons' selection but I don't think you can drop him after one Test where he has so far been out to a screaming yorker....pick a young guy, give him 10 tests IMO

 

[El Diablo]

Saffers don't like Wade much. Can't imagine why

they should love him

I think the 3 picked all deserve the rest of the summer IMO. Otherwise why bother going with youth?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Philander's gut makes me feel better about myself.

What's to like about a cocky dipshit who can't back up his tough talk?

What the hell has happened to test cricket.

10 is too many but yeah needs the rest of the summer

Agree, nobody should be picked for one Test then dropped.
But Maddinson should not have been picked in the first place.

In a way we've dug our own grave because he has to be picked for the Pakistan series now.

Again, Marsh > Hohns...

didn't help them v the Bangers

 

[Bazal]

Nah, Uzi deserves to carry his bat IMO. Make the other plodders score some runs

Sort of like Brad Haddin Lite, only geniused

Look, I didn't think he should have been picked, but he definitely has the talent to make a fist of Test cricket. Hopefully he gets at least a few Tests to work that out for himself.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I'd say Renshaw's spot is more shaky then Maddinson. Goofy Marsh will come back in.

Haddin was a good test player
