Krejza, but there is no way we are going to pick 2 spinners in a 4 man attack.
I don't know maybe bowl it at the stumps. The first session they didn't do that.they just bowled short stuff at dale and frankly thats not how to knock down a tail.
Bowl better lengths for starters, Siddle was terrible this morning and that definitely let South Africa off the hook, Johnson was unlucky as he beat the bat on too many occasions without much luck and when he made Steyn edge one Ponting dropped the chance, when you are one bowler short you certainly should look to make up for that with your fielding, but Australia were very sloppy and that certainly has killed their chances in this game.
We're over the Warne-MacGill era mate.....
4 quicks on the SCG? Too much sun.
Too much watching mediocre spin Test after Test for mine.
That's not how test cricket works, fanboy.
Clarke said on radio he asked Katich if he could bowl and he said he hadn't practiced in the nets for a while, or something like that.
The wise men in the box were speculating whether Katich has got a sore shoulder/limb/something else that prevented Ponting from using him.
No way. That's pretty hard to believe. (Clarke that is, not yourself)
Forgot about him, would have him in for Hilf although we both know that's never going to happen.
Being a bit too harsh on Hauritz imo, he bowled ok in the first innings and had the other 3 quicks done their job with relative consistency then everything should have been fine.
With the inexcusable way they didn't bowl him in WI or India (left it until way too late in the latter) I reckon he's just given up practicing in the nets. No point.
Agree with this, except if Hayden fails agains this innings, we should toy with the prospect of Hussey opening and his brother in the middle OR Hughes.
