Awww almost 400.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Don't worry, we still have Nathan "Undismissable" Lyon to come.

Strike rate of 133 and not out!

 

[bobnowhere]

I reckon the first 6 or so overs will define the SA innings. Harris/Johnson cause havoc or Smith/Petersen go on the attack or at least blunt it.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Fark! Could be Johnson's series again!

 

[bobnowhere]

Holy shit that was brutal!

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Yooooooo

 

[Moxx19]

f**** me, what a ball

 

[hamchan]

Yeah Johnson!

 

[Antiwhippy]

Brutal.

 

[Yagharek]

So gutted its not on FTA. Love to hear Johnson is on fire again. To me, S.Africa are one of the best teams to watch every single series, win or lose. They are class sportsmen whichever side of the result they're on, and always very tough.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Just google "cricket stream"

crictime

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Looks like a small crowd.

I remember watching in awe as the Windies terrorised our batsman in the late 80s with some of the most brutally exquisite pace bowling but I think that MJ ball that got Smith was the best bouncer I've ever seen. What is the right way to play a sniper bullet like that? Is there one?

Get out of the way, keep the hands down lol

Feign death.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Stump mike is nice and clear, picking up a lot of sledging.

 

[Grug]

At that pace, not much time to act, especially at Smith's age.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Rippa.

 

[Grug]

Mitch you magnificent bastard!

 

[Antiwhippy]

World's best attack.

 

[reptilescorpio]

SA need to dig in here like Smith/Marsh did. Don't hit anything that isn't on the stumps until you get your eye right in.

Yeah noticed that yesterday. Captain Smith was nice and chatty yesterday which is great to see

Love the talk in the field.

 

[hamchan]

Yeah looks like Mitch Johnson retained his awesomeness.

 

[bobnowhere]

Wow, almost got FAF first ball.

Retire from cricket?

 

[Grug]

Speechless. 151kmh. Murdering them.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Yep. Johnson looks like he wants man of the series again.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Man, mirror image.

 

[Moxx19]

HOLY SHIT!QCJNNSXCNK

 

[AmorFati]

Holy moly

 

[Andiie]

What a ball. Johnson on fire.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Fuck my day. Johnson is loving it.

 

[reptilescorpio]

3 for 5 in his 4th over. Just steaming in.

 

[bobnowhere]

I though maybe he wouldn't have the motivation after the Ashes, but Mo Johnson is the best Johnson. Already looks as good if not better than whenever it was, 2 series ago in SA, 5ish years ago?

 

[hamchan]

That mo really does give him special powers, goddamn.

 

[Yagharek]

wat

 

[Grug]

Some despondent looking Proteas fans in the stands.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Man that'd hurt.

 

[Grug]

Some serious gremlins in that pitch. Weird bounce physics going on.

 

[bobnowhere]

At least he didn't get bowled like in the Indian series!

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Wasn't far off arm before wicket...

 

[A More Normal Bird]

England's self esteem rising.

 

[Rayven_king]

amla pls

 

[Grug]

England's self esteem rising.

Scapegoated KP for nothing.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Ahhhhhhhh

I don't want to go to sleep.

 

[kmag]

These two play spin well so it might be worthwhile preserving with the quicks a bit long than planned before bringing Lyon on. Only 30 minutes til tea so you could certainly juggle the quicks

Had to step out for a bit so missed the fun but from the highlights Johnson is on fire.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Dudes are pumped in the field.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Harris bowling quick too. Hitting 147!

 

[reptilescorpio]

Ahhhhhhhh

I don't want to go to sleep.

I'll be holding out until Tea. Hopefully Johnson gets 2 overs in before it!

 

[chicko1983]

Scapegoated KP for nothing.

He shouldn't have been dumped.

Man, I am so excited. Friday tomorrow, screw it, I'm staying up to hopefully watch Aussies back in later tonight.

Mj, I always believed in you.

Lbw, please!

This is a good review.
