BARNES OUT
Yeah, has been noted many times on here that it's not on ut00b. Seriously was though, Gayle couldn't believe it.Can't find it on YouTube

Who to keep? AB de Villiers?
Any chance of a description of what happened?

BARNES OUT
Gayle and Chanders going absolutely nuts, looking like 300+ a certainty.
Bracken bowls, out of the hand it looks certain to pitch leg and keep going on.
Gayle plays down the leg stump line, ball swings a mile and hits the top of off.
Gayle falls over.
Pretty much.

Yeah should be. VB van Jaarsveld can keep but he sprained his ankle in training and might not even be able to play anyhow.
Jacques Kallis has an ab strain so he is likely to play as a batsman only.
Morne Morkel is likely to come in as a third seamer.
Going back to Bouch seems like his injury is not so good and there is some doubt about making the 1st test. If that is the case at least the Prince Duminy debate will have ended before it even started and South Africa's batting improves tenfold.

Dropping Herschelle Gibbs and costing his team the match?

All very interesting. Kallis was bowling bloody well in the tests, but has taken some stick in the one-dayers. So effectively, Morne Morkel comes in for Boucher? Slight weakening of the batting line up, possible improvement in the bowling attack?
And you reckon AB will keep in the test series? Prince and Duminy at 5/6 and AB at 7? That's a pretty ****ing big batting line up. ****.

South Africa need a third seamer and Adelaide is a flat track so it isn't a huge concern but you kinda hope Kallis can send down at least five for you don't want too many from Albie and you can't expect JP to send down 10 overs an innings or Ntini to bowl without getting smashed.
If Bouch is out, AB will have to keep in the tests for no successor has yet to be found. Heino Kuhn and and Daryn Smit are the incumbent guys with the A team but neither are banging down the door. Smit's batting just isn't good enough for international cricket despite being a good keeper and handy leg-spinner.

As would I. He's got a very good record and has been dominating for a while now.

Watched his comeback in domestic T20. Was shocking. Needs to get rhythm back.

Shocking? In which game? I didn't see his first game back but he's been pretty good in the last two, given the format and everything.
Not that I think he should be picked for the ODI team mind you, but I think he's bowled fine.

The one against NSW.

Thought he bowled quite decent last nite, especially for the fact that it was T20.

Bowled excellently IMO. Lefties took him apart but that's to be expected when they're hitting the (very) short boundary with the spin in a T20.

It wasn't so much that he got hit (his ER ended up looking very decent IIRC). I thought his length was completely off, usually erring on the short side, but it wasn't punished. Obviously his first three overs back aren't good for judging him, i just thought it looked like he needed a few more games before they think about picking him for Australia.

Was his third game back I think.
