*Official* Fifth Test at the SCG

[TumTum]

We are turning into India, lack luster pace bowling attack and run-outs...

 

[Noble One]

One of the worst pieces of running. How could someone be in the system for so long and fluff up the most basic aspect of batting.

That moment sums up the Australian summer.

 

[Furball]

Never a second run there at all, what was Twatto thinking?

 

[robelinda]

Last summer was bad enough, now its happened what 3 times this test series with watto? Just insane.

 

[Ruckus]

Love how people are now criticising the decision to bat first. Yeah because conceding 600+ was so part of the plan.

Wtf does that have to do with it?

 

[Top_Cat]

God, that's just awful.

Read a stat recently where we've had something like 9 run outs over the past 10 Tests. Good teams don't have that happen. Grade teams don't have that happen, FFS.

Watson has now been involved in seven run outs.

Hmmm, I think.........yes........I believe I'm seeing where the problem lies.

 

[TT Boy]

Inzy was a better judge of a run.

 

[morgieb]

Dumb ****s.

Khawaja/Hughes in, big contrast will happen here I feel....

 

[four_or_six]

Maybe Watto's fault, but no idea why Hughes didn't manage to get two runs there.

 

[hazsa19]

Okay that's just despicable. That's truly despicable. No one comes out with credit from that.

I wonder if KP will insist on doing tonight's interview...

 

[Mister Wright]

Was just about to ask if that was Phil Hughes' first wicket.

But, on replay they're both as bad as each other.

 

[Craig]

Unbelievable
I feel almost angry at how stupid that is

It was such a random run out, I mean if they put in a bit of effort then they would have gotten two runs easily, and somehow Watson managed to run himself out.

 

[SteveNZ]

Unreal.

That is schoolboy stuff. Both jogged the first, neither particularly called, then Hughes never bothered to look up when he touched down. Pathetic.

Inzamam's records are in grave danger from Shane ul Haq. There's nothing that can be done to coach it out of him, surely? It's just something you learn along with your times tables.

 

[Spark]

Wtf does that have to do with it?

The point of batting first here is that you don't want to bat last. Because we've conceded 600 we're now batting last. When you have a side 5/220 that simply should not happen.

 

[Furball]

Maybe Watto's fault, but no idea why Hughes didn't manage to get two runs there.

Because Pietersen's pick up and release were lightning fast. Hughes would have struggled to get halfway down the track if he'd gone.

 

[four_or_six]

Really? Watto had pretty much completed two runs jogging, and he's hardly Usain Bolt.

 

[Spark]

Because Pietersen's pick up and release were lightning fast. Hughes would have struggled to get halfway down the track if he'd gone.

I reckon they'd still have got there if they'd run properly. Hell, Watson basically walked down the other end and basically made it.

Not running the first properly didn't help either. It was just horrible, horrible, dreadful cricket on every level.

 

[Ausage]

Watson is a joke on legs.

 

[Craig]

That's almost Inzi-esque.

That is so bad.

Please, Inzi wouldn't have called for a second to begin with

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Shane Watson, putting a huge smile on all our faces every time he gets out. WAG!
