Hash is so cool.

Amla. World's most likable cricketer?

Easily

 

[Manee]

No chance of that. He has been very good in his latest stint though. Nothing stylish, nothing quick, just gets the ball in a vaguely good area and he allows batsmen, such as Smith, to **** it up for themselves.

Or maybe Nehra ****s things up himself, I dunno.

 

[vcs]

Desperately need Amla's wicket here.

 

[Jono]

Bowl outside off to him. If he drives you, whatevs. But since the tests we've bowled at his pads

 

[Teja.]

I don't like Hash that much tbh. Scores truckloads against us and doesn't look good enough while doing so like Martyn or Sanga and is not a prick or inconsistent, So yeah.

Mmm, I don't think that's a good idea but at the same time I have no alternative whatsoever.

Yeah, he's a bit like Lara in that he'll shuffle right across his stumps (particularly in ODIs) and make you think you can get him overbalancing and hit him on the pads or even bowl him leg stump if you fire one in straight, but he's just sooo awesome off his legs that he'll put you everywhere even if he has to play completely around his body. It's a massive con that works awesomely.

Amla needs 60 more runs to reach 2000 in ODIs - this is his 38th ODI, and the record for fastest to 2000 is jointly held by Zaheer Abbas and Kevin Pietersen, who did it in 45 games.

 

[Prince EWS]

Ingram looks in seriously poor form. Liked the look of him the first few times I saw him.

 

[Teja.]

Lolgram

Jesus. That's insane.

 

[Teja.]

Amla, I hate you so much.

Just where do you bowl to him? You just have to wait for him to make a mistake.

 

[Prince EWS]

Really dire **** from Ingram. Would've done both himself and his team a greater service if he'd kicked them over first ball.

 

[M0rphin3]

Ingram is such a **** tbh.

 

[NasserFan207]

What a stupid shot.

 

[Prince EWS]

Ingram is such a **** tbh.

If he really does have an epic failure of a series it might open the door for MVW.
When do SA announce their World Cup squad? Is there enough time for this series to even really matter?

 

[Teja.]

Quite possibly the 2 best OD bats in the world playing now. Gonna be murder.

 

[Prince EWS]

Nehra bowling crap makes the world feel right again. His returns since his recall had been so unNehra like, and just when I was ready to perhaps revise my opinion of him he does this.
