Australia vs South Africa| Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi| October 23| World T20 Group match

Aussies bowling first.

Sample dressing-room pep talk: "Oi. Mayte. What are we even doing here? Who bloody plays cricket in the UAE? Apart from the IPL, I mean (the highest form of the game, just to be clear). And what is this utter crap about us potentially having to play a match against Bangladesh, or West Indies, or maybe even bloody Scotland? Three weeks and there's only one match against England scheduled. And not a single scheduled game against India (the highest form of cricket team/human beings, not that it needed to be said)? Who organised this trash heap of a tour? Absolute shambles."

 

 

How far they will go: They'll hold it together until late in the group stage, but will eventually be overcome by their disgust at having to step on to a field with a team that should not be breathing the same air.

Lol no Inglis in the side.  Wade is sh** down the order.  When will Aus learn?  SA look favorites if they play to their potential. 

[speedheat]

Temba is now opener 

[Vickydev]

Richardson should be picked over Hazelwood. 

[Singh bling]

Quota captain gone

[speedheat]

Bauma gone, was looking good 

[rageaddict]

Tembu bowled to Maxy.

[rageaddict]

Where was Rassie during his early 20s.

[rageaddict]

Rassie also gone.

[speedheat]

Rassie gone

[Lone Wolf]

Lovely nut from Hazelwood.  Reason why he is one of the best ODI bowlers recently is his ability to bowl well in PP.

Decock was playing all sorts of shots. Never looked comfortable. Hazelwood gets 2 

[rageaddict]

Abey salo 20 overs toh khel lo.

[speedheat]

South Africa is in disarray, Dhoni has really turned Hazlewood into a world-beater. @Ajju

Hazelwood has that ability to hit the right length immediately. Starc has bowled trash. 

[nitinbwj]

For once Bavuma showed the right intent and missed that ball from Hackwell.

Hazelwood is already world's best ODI bowler after Boult if you look in last 3 years.  His record is insane in the format.
