lol.....these comments are funny

 

[Spark]

This be nonsense.

 

[Furball]

Yeah



Another one. You see Kallis, Watto and Hughes go for it and people forget this is a 5 day match. If Clarke and Khawaja decide to try to score at 75+ than we could very easily give up a lead.

As a general rule of thumb I just facepalm when I see comments like that. It's clear some people just don't understand cricket.

 

[smash84]

btw when does Ponting plan to retire? Does he still throw the line "I have still got a few years of cricket in me"?

Tahir a chance against Clarke on the cut.

 

[Ruckus]

Anyone watched Tahir bowl this game or the last? Just as bad as his figures suggest or unlucky?

 

[Furball]

Someone smash Tahir please.

 

[NasserFan207]

fredfertang.

Ah, makes sense

Anyway I hope to God cricinfo posts those for comedy value

Mostly the former, yes.

I think at least 50% of his deliveries this morning were full tosses.

 

[Ruckus]

Is that suprising considering Tahir's record, or is his record misleading somehow? Do people who are familiar with his bowling think he is below his capabilities or is this pretty much how he is?

 

[Top_Cat]

Amazing how much fans were talking him up a few months back.

 

[Burgey]

Ah, makes sense

Onr of the annoying things about cricinfo these days is the ball-by-ball commentators there now think they're writing comedy scripts when their senses of humour are as funny as the Ebola virus.

Yeah people were saying that he made SA's attack complete already long before he'd bowled a single ball in Tests.

 

[NasserFan207]

Tbf, he's bowled a few good deliveries.

He's also bowling on a lifeless track.

 

[andyc]

Bloke has taken almost 600 FC wickets, he's clearly got something.

 

[Spark]

Cheers for dropping long on back to Clarke.

 

[Top_Cat]

Track has useful bounce, but. Any leggie worth his salt could use that and big spin isn't his main weapon anyway. Looks like he has a good toppie/flipper and wrong'un, though. Just sayin'. He was spoken of in world-class terms well before he even made the Test squad.

Which is precisely why I'm hoping he gets smashed a la McGain.

the slater story always makes me laugh #sadbuttrue
