***Official*** South Africa In Australia

[Jono]

Marsh gone.

Why can't the umpire just raise his finger even when the batsman walks? Save the bowler from looking stupid by constantly appealing after the batsman has walked.

Interesting situation now. Get a second new batsman in here, and things get very interesting.

Great knock from Marsh.

 

[Mister Wright]

Top innings from Marsh.

Great ball to rid of him too.

When was the last time South Africa went 37 overs without a direct hit? Not used to these misses.

JP hit the stumps earlier, didn't he?

No wonder they suck so badly in limited overs cricket atm...

 

[TT Boy]

Take the Power-play now, or are they waiting to take it in the last 5 overs of the game....

They are waiting until all their batsman are out and then they will take it. Seems like every side seems to think taking it as late as possible is the best thing to do. I would just take it when your two batsman are set, **** it if that is 15 overs before the end. The likes of White can hit it regardless of the field being up.

Their coaches have to take some responsiblity for how poor they are in the field. I used to remember SA teams coming here and being brilliant but this team is barely competent. Have they a fielding coach?

There you go, superb direct hit from Dale Steyn....

Join me if you will.

Talking about Warner, I'm also sick of hearing about him. After one innings we met his g/f, parents, heard all about his formative years. Got a bit nauseating there in the end. Was actually rather pleased to see him fail to douse the flames of hype.

Oh Darsh, you're even dumber than I thought.......again

 

[pup11]

Regardless of doubts over his action, Botha has been pretty good at keeping things tight right through the innings.

Doesn't even do it in Twenty20...

That's actually the only spot that I thought might've been open for Hodge. He has opened before for Victoria in OD cricket with some success, and does it regularly in Twenty20 cricket.

Tony Greig is such a pervert

Not that bad an idea tbh, anybody other than Hussey would do....

Hussey said yesterday he wouldn't mind opening in the tests in SA if he had to come to it.

 

[TT Boy]

Rare treat, ten overs from Kallis. Someone must have had a word. Top bowling so far, nine overs for nothing, two good LBW shouts and a drop catch.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Dave Hussey's intensity between wickets is fantastic. You'd show this to any kid about how to rotate the strike, and positive running.
