Well what's new about that, everytime a bloke bowls around or over 150 clicks, people just have to raise doubts over his action.
Not always. Never heard any doubts raised about Bond.
Probably being pedantic here, but there were several doubts that his action was not safe for his back.
It has. Something that does arouse suspicion is the fact that he can generate such pace after what is quite possibly the slowest run-up I've seen by any pace bowler.
I don't think too much is wrong with the South African batting, they just need to fix a few things imo, i have a feeling Gibbs would get owned by Bracken right through this summer if he opens the batting, as Gibbs' weakness against the inswinging ball is well know, so Amla should be opening the batting with De Villiers imo, and Gibbs should be batting in the middle order, Kallis should bat at three and look to bat through the innings looking to play the sheet-anchor role, rather than trying to force the issue as he clearly isn't too good at that, and then they should also look to use a bloke like Albie Morkel as a floater.
When was the last time we had a full over of 150+ in any format, and first up at that? Was awesome.
Thomson hardly sprinted in.
Haha, since when is 180 ever an easy win in Twenty20 cricket?
It was Daniel Vettori who first raised the doubts, and this is what Tait had to say in reply to it.
Got booed
Certainly can't remember one in recent history. Saw Lee hit 150kph two or three times an over in the IPL but no more than that certainly. If Akhtar can get fit, perhaps he can pepper that 155kph area in the IPL.
Since Social decided to throw logic out the window, and bag out the Australian team, selectors, hierarchy etc. etc. at any possible opportunity, no matter how ridiculous it may sound.
In the longer stuff, very strong square of the wicket. It's not really the movement though; more getting the ball through at chest height without width. Thing is that, even playing normal cricket shots, he'll be 35 off 25 before you know it, and often there's not much you can do about it. Just changes games; when he's in something happens.
