    When it's going wrong it is going wrong though I have to say that his bottom hand wasn't connected to the bat or his other glove when Stoinis touches it down the legside

    70-6 off 17.2

    That is the worst 3rd umpire decision I've ever seen

    Could one of you experts please explain to me why you would win the toss and choose to bowl, on this track and in these conditions.

    You can Cummins to that list of convicts criminals for making that decision

    They're getting a bit screwed here, but I think they'd have lost anyway, and as it's the Aussies, f**k em.

    I believe I was right yesterday when I suggested an Oz victory may be better for England, as SA looked  stronger top 4 competition.

    They definitely, definitely won't whinge about the umpiring decisions after this match. Definitely. 

    Because, there's one thing we definitely know about Australian cricketers it's that they never complain about that sort of thing. For years and years afterwards.

    As I said yesterday, conditions vary so much from ground to ground, that the teams that adapt the best will progress. In both their games, SA were relatively circumspect in the first 20 overs at 118-1 and 108-1 to enable them to record totals of 428-5 and 311-8 respectively. It is, though, overs 21-40, before the extra man can go out, where they have been particularly successful but they wouldn't have been able to put that foot down had they lost four or five wickets in those first 20 overs. As we've seen today, for whatever reason, batting became that much harder in the final 10 overs of the SA innings and for the whole of this one too.

    Lanuschagne, with 20 off 41, looks desperate to get a bit of red ink

    Labuschagne doesn't impress me in 50 over games, far too slow.

    To be fair, in the circumstances, he doesn't know whether to stick or twist but is probably going to take it as deep as possible just so they aren't crucified on NRR and then launch some sort of attack in the last 10-15 overs. But I agree about his ability to step up the rate which was the "concern" of him batting with Smith when they needed to do so.

    125-6 off 30. Australia require 187 off the final 20.

    Could do with SA wrapping this up sharpish just to really hammer the Aussie NRR

    Starc gives a bit of keeping catching practice off the bowling of Jansen for 27 (51)

    139-7 off 33.3

    He needs to learn how to clip quick singles and rotate the strike if big shots are not on.
    A bit like Root does.

    Labuschagne uses his feet to drive the ball straight into the hands of over off the excellent Maharaj (10-0-30-2) for 46 (74)

    143-8 off 35

    Labuschagne out  :)

    The fact that Starc with just 55 runs is in 3rd place and only 18 runs off being the Australian top scorer in the tournament rather tells its own tale

    Why don't the South Africans have three fielders at cow/mid wicket for Cummins!!!

    Because they can have him caught at long off - by Miller off Shamsi for 22 (21)

    175-9 off 40.3

    And the final wicket to Shamsi too 

    177 all out and SA win by 134 runs

    They'll give us a hammering in the football tonight, maybe, perhaps.

    NZ win the toss against Bangladesh and choose to field. Williamson is back in the team and as Ravindra has been in such sparkling form, it is Young that has to make way which looks a bit harsh on him given that he averages 42.22 in ODIs and scored 70 in his last match. Bet Australia are wishing that they had that problem!
