Cricket Season Thread

Renshaw out for 74 but at least it looks like we have found an opener for the short term at very least

He was fine when he debuted, but we had to drop him because he had an ordinary start to a Shield season so they went on to mess around with the opening rotation for a decade and fart arse around with failures like Marcus Harris before finally bringing him back. Hopefully he has a Hussey-esque career and still manages to grind out a respectable 6 or 7 thousand run Test career in his later years.

Thats a great score card to wake up to

I was gunna say the same thing but I was gunna add “for everyone in Oz except Marnus. “
That’s a terrible looking card for a bloke struggling for his spot.

Marnus is done. Absolutely cooked.

A great day at the office for the Australian batters against South Africa on Day 2!

Fifties for Matt Renshaw, Cameron Green, Josh Inglis, and Alex Carey as Australia moved into the lead on the second day with six wickets still in hand.

I was very worried about our top order. When we’ve scrapped to 300 it’s generally been our mid or lower order to get us out of trouble. Good scoreline to see and without Smith in the top order. Pleased to see Inglis get selected and get a good score. Love to see him go on with it tonight.

This could end up being one of the classic Test matches that goes down to the final over.

First session tomorrow could decide the series. Think there will be a bit in the pitch days 4/5 so we need a good lead

odds have swung

australia
$1.38 from $2.15
Draw
$5 in from $11
South Africa
$6 out from $2.05

draw still looks a good bet

punting on Starc not being able to do what he did first innings with the ball.
