1/15 in the last 5 overs of the Aus-SA match. This just in: Tahir rocks.

Australia's middle-order has collapsed for the second time in two games. Cause for concern ?

Given two of the players were on 55 and 73 going and the other wasn't actually out, not really.

 

[slugger]

ya cant be to hard on kenya... its been abit of a see-saw match..

the minors are posting good scores and are all showing real fight. accept the zim vs sa match.

 

[slugger]

can RTD end on century

Australia's middle-order has collapsed for the second time in two games. Cause for concern ?

36.3Imran Tahir to Hussey,OUT, Tahir strikes immediately in his second spell, tosses it up and Hussey plays foward and was there an inside edge, loud shout and given by umpire Saheba. Hussey was not happy.

These sort of things certainly don't help....

The South African spinner wicket count:

Imran Tahir: 1
Robin Peterson: 2
Johan Botha: 0

hmmm buisness as usual

Can Ryan ten Doescate get his hundred ? Scores are level with one over remaining.

EDIT : He doesn't.

 

[Spikey]

50 for RtD, but it's looking like a losing cause for the Netherlands now.

Let this be a lesson. NEVER EVER DOUBT RTD

 

[Spark]

Another run out.

I know it's a warmup game but still...

 

[Jayzamann]

White appearing to be out of sorts again?

 

[Howe_zat]

Let this be a lesson. NEVER EVER DOUBT RTD

Never again!

 

[slugger]

the lower order and rtd pull of a close one.. well done to the boys in orange.

The South African spinner wicket count:

Imran Tahir: 1
Robin Peterson: 3
Johan Botha: 0

hmmm buisness as usual

But the number one choice?

36.3Imran Tahir to Hussey,OUT, Tahir strikes immediately in his second spell, tosses it up and Hussey plays foward and was there an inside edge, loud shout and given by umpire Saheba. Hussey was not happy.

Nothing definitive there.

holy ****

 

[Nate]

Haha, not good signs for Australia at all. Really think we'll struggle this tournament. I'm glad Ponting has made back-to-back fifties, but he looked terrible against India and this one doesn't sound any more fluent. Definitely reckon he won't succeed in the coming weeks. In fact, Lee and Smith, and maybe Watson, are the only players I have much confidence in.

 

[Nate]

Haha, and Smith departs.

 

[pup11]

Seriously this is some pretty brainless batting from the Aussie middle order.

 

[Howe_zat]

Amusing to see SA obviously playing everyone but Australia trying to play just the XI.

Half expecting them to send Ferguson in next out of frustration.

 

[Edged&Taken]

paks middle order is clicking btw
