Johnson hitting 140kmh off about 3 steps. Bringing it back in a touch too

.

Perhaps he should take this as his permanent run up. He's got the pace (135-145kph) and he's more accurate coming from this run up, besides he save saves a hell of a lot of energy.

 

[uvelocity]

Not spinning it much though is he? I haven't been watching that closely.

more of a drifter, but really - 3rd day test match, leading by 80 and playing reverse sweeps - here's another ffs, what is doing. 3 wickets down.

Maybe he should bowl left arm orthodox

That's VVS! Take that beard off, you imposter.

 

[Spikey]

nothing like the reverse sweep to piss everyone off

 

[Cevno]

What's with these reverse sweeps?

 

[Nigel Benjamin]

yummy cover drive that

I love Border so much. "You can play the shot, but if you get out don't bother coming back into the changing room."

I don't think I've ever seen Amla play a reverse sweep. Obviously if you don't play it well then you probably shouldn't of played it, but I don't think you should moan if someone plays it well.

Although I have to admit I facepalmed after those 2 shots from Amla. Just confirmed your point

Too many singles.

EDIT: And fours.

Can't imagine him doing that. Maybe Chinaman might be better

saffers can play it as much as they like.

 

[BoyBrumby]

If you can play that cut why eff about with reverse sweeps? Glorious stuff.

 

[Johnners]

Too many singles.

EDIT: And fours.

AWTA, almost looks like a OD field for Lyon :S

 

[uvelocity]

was saying to people other than you earlier that we need em 5/200, and will have them all for 250 and then chasing 300 its even money.

on track ftr.

 

[Outswinger@Pace]

There is the man. Running in all day, just back of a length and no ****ing idea what he's going to do the next ball.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Stating the obvious as it may be, but Clarke missing Watson here.

Bringing himself on, maybe an over or two from his immediate predecessor too? Ponting needs to pay his keep somehow.

 

[Spark]

I swear, if Clarke gets a wicket here, I will lol sooooooooo hard

EDIT: Not bad, actually. Nice curve.
