Our bowlers so far making the most of a pitch with some help, hopefully continues.

    2 days to get a result means that any number of combinations of re-jigging of the match is possible ... even down to a 20 over match

    But it's advantage Australia with the South Africans being 4/44 off 14 overs ... even with the D/L method.  They don't get to start again 

    Right now, we hold the upper hand and play is possible until about 4am today (and then all day tomorrow)

    Maybe so but I reckon any change to the format which if play resumes will be certain will help SA.

    I’ve been at banner but have been keeping abreast of the scores. Not much to say… SA in all sorts. But…

    I never saw the very beginning of Maxi’s innings vs Afghanistan ‘til now. I didn’t know Azmat was on a hat-trick when Maxi came to the crease. Maxi was lucky not to have been caught behind without scoring a single run. He’s amazing, is our Maxi. And he’s a Victorian! 😁

    Macca’s right, Deeves. You can relax, we’ve got this.

    If I recall correctly, 'Cowboy from Hell' started a thread here in 2013 with the now infamous catch-cry of 'Relax, we've got this' 

    The team?  The Eagles.  The venue?  MCG

    We lost by 15 goals!! haha

    But I'm quietly confident as South Africa have to keep wickets intact which should curtail their scoring rate somewhat

    How good has Hazlewood bowled!?

    Yeah, you give him a track with a modicum of assistance and he is in his element

    Top class seam bowler 

    I reckon one of the reasons that England prepared so many flat decks in the Ashes was that they were very worried about Hazlewood

    I've been watching Ashes series from England since the mid 70's and usually, we get at least 3 or 4 seaming decks per series

    None in 2023

    My thoughts was and I may be wrong is the D.L. model will project out a number of overs that S.A may not have even actually faced being at four down already.

    Whately* on radio just said that the reserve day is when the conditions of the match can change

    In other words, they keep playing today to 50 overs each innings even if they know they're going to run out of time (today only)

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
