[Jono]

Hate Botha. Come to think of it, hate South African spinners.

Oi!

Nick Boje > you.

Loved Nicky

Feet was probably the wrong term, but balance is vital if you're going to play like that. Look at Sehwag's balance when he's hitting anything from point to third man. Its superb.

If you don't move your feet and have no balance, you're not going to be successful. For most of Warner's hoick's his head was steady and in position.

Fair enough. A bad shot can be well executed. imo, shot selection is still of utmost importance.

Harris & Botha in particular, give me the ****s. Probs because they've both had reasonable success against Ponting this summer.

Australia has throw away the advantage big time, so that 300 is looking pretty unlikely, time for Hopes and Hussey to do the repair job and at the same time maintain a good run-rate.

Another one bites the dust, smart catch that.


Anyone else hear the slight hiccup in the com-box when one of the commentators could be heard through the microphone alluding to his 'action' when showing a replay of Botha bowling? Of course they didn't mention it on air

David Hussey has a chance of being ahead of Michael Hussey in the middle order pecking order if he produces a good innings this match.

With Clarke and Symonds to return, Mike may find it find to keep his place, especially since Dave offers more with the ball too.

 

[thierry henry]

jeez, slightly OTT rubbishing of Botha for one bad throw

I agree with this, with a few of Warner's shots one might get a feeling he is an ugly slogger of the cricket ball who is just having a lucky run, but his knock today and even in the ranger cup games show that there is more too Warner than just tonking and hoicking the ball around, he gives respect to the good balls and backs himself to hit balls that are in his half, i think that's where you gotta respect the individuality and talent of a bloke like a Sehwag, Jayasuriya or Warner, because the way they play is not conventional, and its certainly not the kind of technique you would like to tell some young kid to copy, but it works for them, and that's what makes them exciting and different, and their is no way they should change anything with way they play.

This may be controversial, but I'm going to say it.

Bill Lawry is not as biased as people think.

 

[thierry henry]

Hopes really struggling

 

[Precambrian]

Hopes is hopeless against spin.

[Zinzan]

haha, Tony Greig's blind as a bat

 

[pup11]

Aye Capt Obvious.

Hey what's the problem with you dude, i guess the game forum is there for everyone to post about what they think about the game, and obviously you are Mr.know it all, so why do you care with what anyone else posts...

That wasn't a balloon Bill
