I bet Hussey is actually one of those pricks who turns up to every game asking whether he can use someone's spare bat, claiming he just 'forgot' his bat when he's really too stingy to buy one.

Grinds my gears.
Haha, nah. He'd have a backload of bats, but just waiting for a deal for some more $$$ now that he's playing for Australia. Also, would be wanting a mob who operate out of Victoria, that way you can go and select your own kit, rather than having it sent to you or only being able to select it when you are in that state. GM is run out of NSW, whilst Kooka, GN, County are all out of Victoria.

VB fields in the slips for Lions and is known for being a top catcher. Better score some runs, his going to cost South Africa plenty here.

This is the very reason, i am such a strong advocate of not opening the innings with Clarke, today Clarke wasn't able to rotate the strike over and then to break the shackles tried that big shot, but the fact is he just seems so incapable of playing these big shots, and its something that has developed recently in his game, because in the earlier part of his ODI career he was pretty good at playing all those expansive shots, but the way he bats now, opening the innings with him is a bit the same like asking Ian Bell to open the innings.

EDIT: Van Jaarsveld is a shocking fielder, might even lose his place in the team due to his fielding.

If he doesn't learn how to field he might not have a future at this level.

VB also keeps wicket and is actually not that bad, kept a lot for the Lions last year. His had a shocker here though.

But you have to have the temperament and skill to do it at the top level. Some crack under the pressure. He played a silly shot first ball the other night as well. His dealings with the county and Kolpak thing might demonstrate that he lacks character.

Just the way that he went about trying to catch it more than the fact that he dropped it. Never looked like catching it.

Dismal fielding from SA today. Gibbs missing another run out as I type too.

FFS Flem, stop crapping on about Warner. He's not out there, therefore, I don't want to hear about him every other minute.

Marsh :( good to see he's found some form though.
