    R800,000 for a baseline A200. R700,000 for a baseline 118i. The Chinese brands will offer you a fully loaded hybrid/EV SUV/Crossover for those prices. *You can make an argument for build quality, longevity, dealer/service support, etc, but the Chinese brans offer people more features and a...

    He has batted 4 innings against the Aussies, including this one. He has only been dismissed twice. Batting average is total runs scored divided by the number of dismissals. 132/2 = 66 If he gets dismissed, his average will drop; 132/3 = 44 (which is still a mightily impressive average)
