What can we swap for the two LBWs that were 99% definitely hitting leg?

johnson, hughes, sutherland and nielsen

 

[pup11]

Why are we wasting the last few overs of the day bowling Johnson....????

 

[Outswinger@Pace]

I think Johnson is making an effort to get back to his lofty standards of conceding at 4 rpo that he started with in this innings.

 

[Son Of Coco]

The thing I like about Johnson is his ability to be a potent strike weapon

 

[adub]

**** I hate this spread the field ****. They're only 6 down FFS.

 

[JBMAC]

There has just got to be better keepers than Haddin in this country surely

He runs in ha


Yes on his day he can be so so devastating

If you can work what day it is, you'll be a national hero.

bugger that would have been useful (the runout chance)

That rare ability comes only once in a generation. It may take a few generations to finally see fruitification of that ability though.

That's it Mitch maintain a line.

Wicket coming here...

 

[pup11]

Gotta love Punter's commitment, despite a long day in the field he is still so alert and energetic.

 

[uvelocity]

That's it Mitch maintain a line..

16th off stump?

 

[adub]

16th off stump?

Mitchell's line.

 

[uvelocity]

Johnson's got the ball, around the wicket he is. Way down the legside.

Ha - ball 2 didn't even qualify for commentary (twas well wide of off)

Ball 4 - oooh and a little bit wide that one, haha. And his natural instinct is to smash it.

 

[Outswinger@Pace]

Lol! I feel that if Mitchell comes on CricketWeb and happens to read some of our comments here, he'd give up playing cricket for a living.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Mitchell's line.

If only he did that much with the ball.

He'll take a wicket now we've started on him.

 

[uvelocity]

It's still up to us. lunch tomorrow they will lead by 200 and either be out or near a declaration. If we bat to the end of the day we should be square. Providing we can get almost to tea day 5 they can't win.

If we keep batting like **** anything can happen.

 

[Ruckus]

Can't see this being anything more than a draw now tbh. Wicket is about as flat as you can get.

 

[Spikey]

Hopefully Clarke will just start with Copeland from one end tomorrow instead of giving MJ two token overs before the new ball.

Couple of overs from Lyon might work. Angelo might try and get to his ton before the new pill and hole out.
