Yeah it’s hard to understand? I’m not listening to the commentary but reading media before the game I didn’t read anything about this is a must bowl first pitch?

But as Stevec said , it is so negative by trying to protect the batting

 

[innsaneink]

So we chose to bowl...lol

The irony of trying to protect the batting line up, yet in doing so you’re creating a ton of scoreboard pressure for them going into their first innings.

If that was the reason than that is really poor.

Cummins who went wicketless in the 2nd test
Now 6 overs 0-33 ( 5.5 rpo )
Finally Starc gets Markham but Head drops a sitter
Cummins toss decision one of the worst ever

But why leave out Boland then bowl, i just don’t understand unless Cummins is terrified of the SA attack.
With the way it’s going any winning chance we may have had could disappear by tea time today.

 

[Stevec]

0-140 at lunch
Thru 1 out of a potential 15 sessions and I can say now
We can't win this test
Poor Bowling ,Poor Fielding ,Poor Captaincy .
Dreadful !

 

[GNR4LIFE]

For such a vaunted attack, they sure get carted an awful lot.

south africa would need to get at least 400 on this wicket batting first if they want to win

 

[Yossarian]

Dropping Boland looks like a smart move…

140/0 at lunch on Day 1 after Cummins/Australia chose to bowl first, Lyon bowling the 11th over, Boland on oranges - WTF??

Bowling first on a pitch expected to ease, then dropping the bowler who did everything in the 2nd Test. Baffling decisions......

 

[Buttface]

odds have flipped
South Africa in from $2.15 to $2.05
australia out from $2.05 to $2.15
that would take some serious cash to move a market like that.

Patty must have told someone he was bowling first.

Did you get on the Saffas?

 

[Buttface]

Tough one.

Nup he pussed it at the last second.

He just made up for it.

Worst Australian team this millenium. Hopefully another good thrashing here results in some long-overdue retirements since none of them are ever going to get dropped by Failey and friends.

Australia find their way back into the game with four wickets in the second session.
South Africa go to tea at 221-4

 

[happy_tiger]

WOW .....didn't expect to wake up at 232 for 6

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Patty must have told someone he was bowling first.

I just took the $4.50 for south africa to win the series after they lost the first test mate.

 

[happy_tiger]

Starc has ripped the Saffas apart with the new ball .....3 wickets in 4 balls
