Even Chris Lynn Smacking Rabada now. @rkt.india hence Sachin> Kohli

Lynn is one of the most destructive batsman currently.

He is like some bowlers like Md.Irfan from Pak or even recently Khaleel for us. Looks quicker and has more bounce and zip than the pace readings. I have seen him hit 150k in SA though

that 150 was most likely a speed gun glitch.

Yes skill wise but pace wise he is pretty quick. Sticks out like a sore thumb amidst Thakur, Chahar etc lol

No lungi is fat medium, not very quick.

Viv Richards was the most destructive batsman of the 70s and 80s so Lynn> Viv Richards

Even if he is 2-3 ks slower than Thakur on the speed gun, it’s pretty obvious who is easier to face for a batsman

Ngidi to Head, 1 leg bye, 135kph, angled down leg, into the pad, he can't get back on it but it runs fine for a leg bye

This looks a superb batting surface. Lots of runs expected.

Ngidi to Head, no run, 130kph, full on off, he drives straight to mid off

1.2

0

Ngidi to Head, no run, 132kph, good length, pitching on middle and off, angling across the left hander and he leaves this on line and length

Ngidi to Marsh, 2 runs, edged pushing at a good length, it runs well wide of second slip and fine of third man for a couple

3.4

Ngidi to Marsh, no run, 136kph, good length, off stump line, he pushes on the front foot back to the bowler with the full face

3.3

Ngidi to Marsh, no run, 135kph, good length from around the wicket, fourth stump line, he leaves alone

Here's Shaun Marsh

Ngidi to Marsh, 2 runs, 141kph, full into the pads on leg stump he clips away wide of fine leg and they get a couple

5.5

0

Ngidi to Marsh, no run, 137kph, good length, outside off, he leaves alone

5.4

Ngidi to Marsh, FOUR runs, short and wide and hammered past point! He doesn't miss out on these, it was a freebie wide of off and he cracked a textbook cut shot

5.3

0

Ngidi to Marsh, no run, 136kph, back of a length wide of off, he tries to cut but mistimes to cover-point

5.2

0

Ngidi to Marsh, no run, 138kph, good length off stump, he's forward pushing hopefully on the inside half of the bat to square leg

5.1

0

Ngidi to Marsh, no run, 138kph, good length seaming back he leaves and it hits him on the back thigh, too high, half an appeal from the bowler but it was going over

 

8.4

0

Ngidi to Finch, no run, 132kph, good length on off, he defends from the crease back down the pitch

8.3

0

Ngidi to Finch, no run, 130kph, back of a length turned to forward square, Klaasen misfields there's a slight mix up and they wisely opt not to run

8.2

0

Ngidi to Finch, no run, 133kph, good length outside off, he presses forward and squirts to gully and the a nice diving save prevents one

8.1

0

Ngidi to Finch, no run, 131kph, back of a length, nipping into the thigh of Finch who can't work it to leg

 

mostly in mid 130s from Ngidi.

What is your take on pretorious. Seems like a super trundler to me, took 3 wickets though. Can he bat?

yes, in terms of destructiveness, not better as a batsman as these are early days for him.

[Global.Baba]

Wow Steyn still has it

yes, Ngidi is 6 feet 5 and on these Aussie pitches, 135-140 coming from 6'5' is plenty pace.

Pace and skill lungi is under both Steyn and Rabada

[prinzo]

its nice to see Australia catching a hiding , this is the perfect time for India to go to Australia and win Test series.

He isn't that quick pace wise. 35 year old steyn was comfortably quicker than Lungi and even faster than rabada today at 146 kph. Starc has left everyone else in the dustthough. Many balls at 147+ and peak of 152.4.

[Nikola]

Starc coming back to form it looks, Cummins already in great form & if Hazlewood too finds his old rhythm then it will be hard for our batsman also you can never forget Lyon in tests.

[Stan AF]

Look at the number of 3s run by the batsmen. The ball doesn't go the boundary that easily here even straight.

[Nikhil_cric]

Fastest opening spell by Starc ever bowled in his career. 4 over spell with average speed above 150 ks. 

[Stan AF]

superb sixxx
