Proteas tour to Australia: November 2014

[Creag]

Good to see they are keeping their winning streak.

 

[MickeyD]

SA won the toss and are batting first.

 

[MickeyD]

JP Duminy*, KJ Abbott, F Behardien, Q de Kock†, RR Hendricks, Imran Tahir, R McLaren, DA Miller, WD Parnell, K Rabada, RR Rossouw

 

[Creag]

South Africa have won the toss and will bat, they have named an unchanged XI, so 19-year-old phenom Kagiso Rabada gets another crack.

I am pleased for the team. Win or lose, they deserve another chance to show their stuff.

 

[Creag]

Australia Team | SA Abbott, DE Bollinger, CJ Boyce, PJ Cummins, BR Dunk†, JP Faulkner, AJ Finch*, GJ Maxwell, NJ Reardon, SR Watson, CL White

 

[Creag]

Bollinger to de Kock, OUT, got him, extra pace and bounce and de Kock feathers through to Dunk! Nothing stroke from de Kock, just hung his bat out - but the ball fair zipped through off the surface, a small but visible deflection off the edge and South Africa are one down

Q de Kock c †Dunk b Bollinger 0 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Not a great start

 

[Hectic]

Morning guys, not a good one so far though.

 

[Hectic]

Is anybody streaming via SS?
My sound disappears or goes softer every now and then.
Anybody else?
It is not constant.

 

[Hectic]

Another one down.(Riley)
14/2

 

[Creag]

All too soon his innings ends:

Faulkner to Rossouw, OUT, got him, slower ball and this time the leading edge is snaffled by Faulkner! He's a canny lad in this form of the game, Faulkner, although his back-of-the-hand delivery was heading down the leg side. Rossouw was done by the lack of pace, heaved to leg again, the edge ballooned back down the pitch and the bowler clutched it diving to his right

RR Rossouw c & b Faulkner 12 (8b 3x4 0x6) SR: 150.00

Pity!

 

[Creag]

Boyce to Hendricks, OUT, done him, Hendricks is down the river and stumped without a paddle! Superb work from Boyce, lured the batsman out but the ball dipped and he was nowhere near the pitch, just enough spin to go past the outside edge and he had no chance of regaining his ground

RR Hendricks st †Dunk b Boyce 18 (22b 2x4 0x6) SR: 81.81

South Africa 47/3 (9/20 ov)

 

[Creag]

Well, David Miller is out there now... SA in the sticky stuff

South Africa 64/4 (13.2/20 ov)

 

[sand_man]

We getting rolled. Going down today.

 

[poffle]

Yeah pathetic batting show, wow. Ah well, at least its a T20, no-one gives a # about T20's

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

Typical rubbish, lose a couple of early wickets then we block our way to the end...

 

[AirWolf]

We did not desire to thrash the Aussies again. We set ourselves a target of 6 runs to win by.

.

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

WTF is Behardien doing back in the squad?

 

[MickeyD]

SA 101/7

Australia 102/3 (12.4 ov)

Australia win by 7 wickets.

 

[NeonNinja]

A decider we're to have.

 

[Creag]

Unfortunately the Proteas gifted an easy game to the Aussies
