South Africa v Australia Third ODI Report Card (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Morpheus Off The Long RunI barely saw any of this match before I went to bed. Rain delay. Mitch Marsh losing the toss because, while Pat Cummins was willing to play, he couldn’t be bothered finding his captain’s blazer. A bit of tonking and bashing from Marsh and Travis Head at the top of the order, fully aware they needed to score about 330 between them, given their flaky middle order.And that was about all. Although, as it turned out, the Australian middle order finally came good, and the visi

Format Combo SpreadsheetsGrade: CEnough of Zimbabwe for now. Australia are now off to South Africa (capitalised) for a three-ODI, three-Test series. Yes. More of this, please. (I mean, sure, a four-Test series would have been even better, but a three-ODI, three-Test combo is the next best option for this kind of timeframe.
