Australia vs South Africa, 2nd ODI, South Africa tour of Australia, 2018 - CommentaryAUS vs RSA, 2nd ODI, South Africa tour of Australia, 2018 - Commentary

Mohit: "The game is not over yet..!!"

Vijay: "South Africa choking again."

Prateek: "Wasn't Miller way down the ground?" -- Nope, not beyond three meters to keep it to the umpire's call

Anurag: "@Hemanth Miller breaks the trend! :)"

Bala Ramana: "Generally Miller is vulnerable against spin and Adelaide oval assists spinners more than any other ground in Australia. Finch has to throw the ball to either Maxwell or Head to get him out."

Kartik: "Maxwell or Head can come and bowl 3-4 overs. Try and get Miller or Pretorius out."

Johan: "South Africa should not panic here. They are still in a commanding position. If they just play out the overs, they will win."

Akshay: "Starcy has to win it for Australia. Haven't seen those fiery yorkers for long..."

Anish: "The four fast bowlers strategy works better for Aussies, especially at home."

Hemanth: "Today everyone who got into 40s is getting out without reaching 50..Strange."

Rishab: "This is the kind of Australia we have seen from our childhood. All credit to the final wicket partnership. They scored a few with the bat and now the ball is doing the talking. Seems like match will go down to the wire!"

Winning Spirits: Faf and Miller should finish the job here, no one left to do it, or else it's a cake walk for the Aussies

Devansh: Wasn't there a change in run out rule which ensured that batsman would be not out if the bat pops up while diving? "Yes, but that's applicable only if the batsman had grounded the bat into the crease first"

Gaurav Rathore: If Cricket Australia is serious about finding their best XI, they should look beyond D' Arcy Short, Head and Lynn. Their techniques are just not good enough at this level.

Pradeep: This Australian team can still be favorites for the World Cup after the inclusion of Smith and Warner. "Big tournament team"

Palash: If Australia are looking to lock RSA in this contest then Starc is the key to it. He has to deliver!!

Palash: This Australian team looks clueless at the moment, they don't know which is their best eleven, who are the openers, who are the finishers and who all can steady the ship. Disappointing!

Mike: "Zampa, our new number three! ;)"

Kushagra Sathe: "I see a lot of comments stating that Aussies are missing Smith & Warner a lot, but I don't feel so! What has led to their downfall is too much firepower up the order. Bring in the likes of Khawaja to add stability to the line up. Head can't be your opener!"

Lexy: "@Ahana Das you have to give credit to the SA bowling as well."

Ahana Das: "Just goes to show what an explosive opener like Warner and a stable middle order batsman like Smith can do to the Australians. At the moment they have neither and thus they are in such situations."

Rohan Muzumdar: "I've had enough of Glenn Maxwell, how many chances does a guy need? There is plenty talent in the domestic pool who deserve a go at the international level, but this guy should be asked to move back to domestic till he finds form."

Yagyansh: "For me the biggest positive so far has been Steyn's bowling.He is bowling like the Steyn we knew 3-4 years back.Pace,discipline, variations he have it all.Today he may not have the wickets but the pressure he put has helped Pretorius to get wickets from the other end.This is as good a spell as any."

Micky: "I think the reason for these kind of performances is that their experienced Players Like Shaun Marsh, Maxwell, Finch have not taken up the responsibility. They just need one stabilizer in middle like Steve."

Manish: "Looks like QDK enjoying his time behind stumps. 3/5 already!!"

Mayank: "These Big Bash references seem strange to me. Extrapolating domestic T20 performances to international ODIs is baffling. D'arcy Short is a prime example."

Prasanna: "Considering the right left combination, they should have tried Carey and Lynn at the top. Carey did open in the BB 17 season and scored a century.."

Keshore: "I feel Australia's poor run in white ball cricket also has a lot to do with the way they are playing in recent times. At times it feels like they are just being too cautious and that's not how they're going to turn this around."

Ricko: "@Shivam Goel, This might the right time to take your comment back. Oh wait, he's gone!"

kanchan: "Still, a big hitter like Lynn is suitable for opening because nowadays a solid opening pair is important for a limited overs game."

Dilly: "Rotation of strike or the lack of it lead to Finch's dismissal than anything else. Finch & Lynn just kept hitting it straight to the fielders. Need to take a book out of the Indians on how to play middle overs..Too stagnant for my liking, this."

shivam goel: "The Lynn I saw at big bash - dominant, confident and Lynn I see in international cricket are quite opposite - hesitation and under pressure all around."

Rishab: "Australia should not be in a hurry. They should bat the full quota of overs and give their bowlers a fair bit of chance to win the game."

Dibya: "@Bala Ramana, may be they are opting for left-right combination."

Vivek: "Where is Tahir? Faf should bring him in the attack ASAP as Lynn is at the crease."

Bala Ramana: "This Australian batting line-up is a total mess. Chris Lynn is an explosive opener but he plays down the order and Head is playing as an opener when he is at his best at No.4 or No.5."

Kingkch: "After Steyn's comeback, Rabada has been not that effective as before." ----- He hasn't taken the new ball of late and that plays a part too.

Karthik: "About to get ready for the office but Steyn's bowling is pulling me back. Pure class." ---- He concedes 12 in his last over, it seems, Steyn wants you to go to the office.

PR: "Right now, nothing is going right for the Australian team. I can relate this Australian team to Windies team of 90s."

Rohit: "Australia badly want Warner and Smith back in the team."

Pradeep: "Lovely to see Steyn still has that hunger for International cricket in all forms even after so many injuries."
