South Africa v Australia, 2nd Test, Port Elizabeth : 'Furry' pitch greets teams at St. George's | Cricket News | South Africa v Australia | ESPN Cricinfo

Oh FFS. Keep the grass on. It will only help us and neutralize MJ. We still have more technically better batsmen than they do.

Can't see how grass on the deck will neutralise MJ (though it's a good idea for SA nonetheless)

Neutralization in the sense of averaging out his ability to be an outlier.

And then he flukes some 150 kph in swingers. Nice.

Swing has got little to do with the pitch.

Meant seam or whatever the **** it was he did in the last tour. It came in. Swing/seam whatevs.

 

[Tangles]

SA should probably just try and neutralize our batting by offering up something without pace and bounce. I could see Warner and a few others getting frustrated on that sort of pitch. Not good to watch though. If they go too green then Rhino will love it.

He swung it.

More than Philander? If we go green we'd have to play Abbott too of course, so we have more than one seam bowler.

Totally disagree.

I was more meaning that by changing the pitch you risk giving our other seamers something they would enjoy. The approach I would pick is to not worry about Australia. Go with what suits your team best. Then trust them to be better on that surface and win.

Johnson isn't really a seam or a swing bowler, although he can swing the ball. His main weapon has been pace and bounce.

True but Philander is unmatched in the seam department and on a green pitch he can do some damage.

benchmark00 seething at the amount of coverage PSiddle has received going into this match

 

[benchmark00]

Farewell test.

 

[Arachnodouche]

I wish you could manoeuvre batsmen like in the EA games, make them come down the pitch and boof Philander around

Even this emoticon's () keyset reads like Philander.

Reckon top run scorer for South Africa is free money.

Can't go wrong with picking both Amla ($4) and de Villiers ($4.33) because one of them are going to get it. They're the only two players that I don't know how Australia can get out consistently, so chances are it will be one of them to top score.





Look at all these drooling maggots waiting for me to taste.

Have they odds on what Smith will do if he wins the toss?

Will you be opening up your own agency soon? Tasting it @ Betmart00
