Australian cricket tour of South Africa September/October 2026

[Nerfherder]

well cummins just did a t20 innings

yes, with low stakes...

 

[Cius]

That was the highest ever net run rate at Kingsmeed for an innings at 5.41. Next closest was SA in 2008 when we did 4.63 vs the West Indies. Incredible batting by Australia led by Renshaw. Sorry our boys are not doing well out there but I have to respect the quality of cricket the Ausies are showing here.

 

[Nerfherder]

This test will be an Aussie win or a draw. We will not chase the target set.

Would have to be a record run chase if we did

 

[Cius]

First wicket down.

 

[Jongi]

why are these a**holes still going for the short ball?

 

[OutlawJoseyWales]

First wicket down.

With a totally unnecessary shot...

 

[stefan9]

Briefly looked at this today while waiting for the GP snoozefest.

What's with the empty spectator areas?

Its durban. Always like this for test cricket

 

[stefan9]

Kesh looks like an idiot for sending that to review... he closed his eyes and didn't see the ball bounce

EDIT: After 6 angles they saw that it bounced on his hand so its out ! WOW

Renshaw gone

I presume the apology to kesh is in the mail

 

[stefan9]

Let's play in Durban they said. It'll be the Aussies weakness they said...

Doesn't really matter where you play if you play like crap for 90% of the game.

 

[Nerfherder]

I presume the apology to kesh is in the mail

Shame man, no one believed him...

 

[stefan9]

That is disappointing. Get to close to 50 in both innings david but not going on...

renshaw having the best match

 

[Nerfherder]

renshaw having the best match

honestly I think they are letting him bowl just to taunt us.

 

[stefan9]

Stubbs goes chasing a wide one

 

[OutlawJoseyWales]

Stubbs has had his chance IMO. He should be dropped for the next two matches.

 

[Mike7]

Surely that is the ends of Stubbs? Or is he one of Shukri's boys?

 

[stefan9]

He is one of shukri's blue eyed boys. He will probably survive.

 

[OutlawJoseyWales]

So if Stubbs is dropped, who should replace him?

 

[WaxLyrical]

Rickleton has gone over 50 only 3 times in 27 innings so he needs to go.
Kyle looked good as a Gilchrist type player but he's average is closer to Boucher. Need to go - at least bring Qeshile to tick quota/merit box.
Stubbs - no brainer

Esterhuisen, Kaplan, J Herman, Potgieter, Ackerman, DeSwart, Hamza...replacemant list is endless.
