SA Footy

safooty kiss of death strikes.. Weatherald pretty unlucky - ball bounces off his hip onto his elbow and then back onto the bail.

SA 4/175 off 38 overs.

Cooper out for 4, Lehmann 17 not out. 260 is starting to look further and further away.

SA 4/187 off 42 overs. Lehmann 25 (38), Ross 4 (13) - someone needs to get a wriggle on here, still need another 70 runs FFS!

SA 4/194 off 44 overs. Lehmann 28 (46), Ross 8 (17). Ross at least turning the strike each ball, Lehmann genuinely struggling trying to whack em to hard, and it seems unless he can cut or pull, he has nothing.

Zampa has to come in next

Head set to debut

https://www.cricket.com.au/news/austral ... 2018-10-05

T20 sqaud to play Pakistan announced- Aaron Finch (c), Mitch Marsh (vc), Alex Carey (vc), Ashton Agar, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Chris Lynn, Nathan Lyon, Glenn Maxwell, Ben McDermott, Darcy Short, Billy Stanlake, Mitch Starc, Andrew Tye, Adam Zampa.

Strong looking squad, first march in Abu Dhabi on October 24 then second and third matches in Dubai on October 26 and 28.

Absolutely pathetic batting from Aust in the T 20 currently

Pakistan collapsed from 1/105 to 8/155, making that score after they took about 20 off Tyes last over.

Australia in the 6th over currently 6/22, yep 6/22

Lynn with 14 the only batsman to pass 4

Ended up all out 89

Coulter Nile with 30 at the end saved a little face.

Our batting is a real worry in all forms currently

ODI squad about to be announced.

Finch to Captain, Paine out, Carey to keep.

Pakistan win the second T20 by 11 runs, 6/147 to 8/136. Maxwell top scored with 52 (37) and Coulter-Nile pick of the bowlers with 3/18.

Cummins, Hazlewood, Coutler-Nile and Starc all back in the squad. No Paine, Mitch Marsh Lyon and Tye while Stanlake, Neser, Kane Richardson and Jhye Richardson are dropped from the England tour sqaud.

We have last 16 of the last 18 ODI's and sit at sixth in the rankings.

Good mail

I'm still not sure why Lyon doesn't get more of a run in the ODIs. Zampa has done OK but you can't take 300 test wickets and not also be a decent ODI bowler.

Lyon is a must if we are to take this format seriously.

What is the attraction of Ashton Agar?

How does someone that has played 3 ODI's be an ODI vice captain for a national team?

Why would you even bother taking Shaun Marsh? Take a bloody kid FFS, I think we have a good spread of batsmen and we bat deep anyway.

Hope there is truth to the CA board spill and player bans being overturned
