Since watching Alex Hartley on comms on the Hundred in the summer, I've known she was a dirty mare. That came from a bit where she was eating a 99 cone on the boundary, and was blushing furiously when she was asked if she was a licker or a biter. She's been on top form on TMS through the night.
As was posted further up though, it was made clear that prior positive tests, regardless of when they had happened, would make no difference to a players vaccination status.
Start in Sydney delayed by rain. Stokes injured, maybe asking him to bowl loads of short stuff hasn't been a good idea, just like they broke Archer doing the same thing.
Fitting that Dean Elgar hit the winning runs, excellent win for SA. First ever win over India at The Wanderers in 6 attempts. Bit of needle towards the end, Siraj especially wasn't a happy camper.

Shami gets van der Dussen to edge one to slip, out for 40. SA still need 75, and there is enough in this pitch to make you think they can still come up well short.
India were making it tough going, but they have shipped 15 extras in 45 minutes play, not great when your opponent is chasing a low total. SA need 79 with 8 wickets still in hand.
You obviously haven't followed my posts on the golf thread over the years. Any time I mention a Scottish player doing well they generally blow up, so for the sake of Scottish golf I haven't picked any of the Scots on the lists. None of them deserve to suffer just because I picked them in my squad.
Australia declared on 416-8 with Khawaja scoring 137, after Root had dropped him on 28. England 13-0 at the close, but not without a scare after Crawley was caught by Warner, but was reprieved by a Starc no ball.
He must have been really unlucky then, as he tested positive in June, which was more than 6 months ago. Has he had it again since? https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/jun/23/novak-djokovic-tests-positive-for-covid-19-amid-adria-tour-fallout
Sun shining in Sydney just now, but another mixed forecast for the day's play. Play starting early at 11 pm after around half of yesterday's overs were lost.
