This current crop of WI players should avail themselves the opportunity to watch matches like
this and among teams such as India, OZ and England as the top quality is there and they
are bound to learn something from the game and especially about the Players' strength,weaknesses, tactics etc.
I hope the present WI squad are all watching,learning and planning for OZ as well as gaining insight from
expert commentators too.
It's an always learning exercise ,this thing called cricket.

Anyhow duty calles ,will be back in three hours or so.

They are checking for a bump-ball.
Carey and Australia are confident.

2.1
Mitchell Starc to Rickelton, out Caught by Carey!! No bump-ball and Rickelton goes, Needless to play at that and Mitchell Starc strikes. Full and swinging away from 5th-stump, Rickelton tries to squeeze it out, takes the thick outside-edge and Carey dives to his left to take an easy catch. There was a little bit of doubt about whether it bounced into the ground after hitting the bat but replays show it was not the case. Early blow for South Africa.

Rickelton c Carey b Mitchell Starc 6(cool [4s-1]

Cummins to Markram, FOUR, edge and the ball eludes the keeper. Probing line and length. On a good length and holding its line outside off, Markram pokes at it and fortunately the outside edge goes between the keeper and first slip

Man u took the words out of my thoughts, indeed the pinnacle of cricket right here right now, high class bowling and quality batting. Difference will be who wants it more, temperament, discipline and planning. Tall target but I hope Saffies finally can own a crown
