well it seems to be working... he's taken two and they haven't scored a run this dig yet

 

[Spikey]

If this is all horses for courses stuff i'm cool with it. but man i am terrified of another two years of every bad performance, from MJ and the team as a whole, being countered with 'SA 2011!'

btw MJ did say the pitch reminded him of the WACA!

 

[Ruckus]

Well so much for Ponting getting a decent bat...

i'm hoping clarke is smarter than that, tbh.

johnson has the new ball?

itstl

lawl.

Yeah I'm hoping the new captain and the fact we've done it all before will see a harsher approach taken this time 'round if they go back to old ways...but I'm still **** scared.

 

[Kylez]

Wait, Mitchell Johnson bowling well in back to back innings? What does this mean!?

Although, this series is being played in South Africa so I don't think the 'once every six innings' formula applies to Johnson here.

 

[Spikey]

quite liked Ponting not in the slips

 

[Ruckus]

It'd be kind of interesting to see what happens if Siddle really ****s up in the second innings here.

 

[Spikey]

Like I said Lyon is interesting to me. Beer's been in decent form and let's face it Lyon's 5er doesn't really hold that much currency

Goddamn it Siddle this is why I can't like you

 

[Ruckus]

Siddle's economy really impressive so far.

 

[Burgey]

Is this the part where I'm meant to come up with some witty retort? Or call you a **** or something? Cause I honestly can't be assed.

*arsed.

four short balls, four fours...

 

[Riggins]

out of curiosity you actually on twitter spikey?

 

[Spikey]

i mean if they had been four half volleys it'd almost be ok but that's pretty much exactly what we were afraid would happen!

 

[Spikey]

out of curiosity you actually on twitter spikey?

No but I've been meaning to make an account, if only to you know follow people. Doubt I'd ever make a tweet tbh

 

[Ruckus]

*arsed.

Not if you're American...which I'm..er..not.
