***Official*** Australia in South Africa

[Burgey]

Dougeh!

 

[BoyBrumby]

By "up here" I'm pretty sure he means England; not South Africa. In which case I agree with him completely. Definitely no swing in England for him.

Yeah, sorry if I wasn't clear. Meant England.

 

[Redbacks]

AB de Villiers has such a punchable face.

Downhill skier of a player too.

3rd test in 09 rings a bell.

 

[Burgey]

Carn Sid. Bang it in half way down mate.

 

[Spikey]

Gotta hand it to Siddle - he's bowling as fast now as he did at the start of the day

 

[Spark]

Well his opening spell at Lords was about the worst spell I'd seen from an Australian spearhead, but he still ended up with (IIRC) four wickets for the innings.

If his arm was closer to midnight it wasn't by much either; always been quite round armed from what I've seen.

Haha, my bad, thought you were talking about the SA tour for some reason

Definitely agree with you in that case.

I just can't believe all the commentators yap the **** up. Hear Fleming saying at tea Siddle and Johnson are "quality test match bowlers"?

Watch CA appoint the buffoon bowling coach.

They love yes men that's for sure.

 

[kingkallis]

What the hell is Johnson doing there??? Such a short run up?

 

[Cabinet96]

Great stuff from Siddle. He's till running in. Most bowlers give up and stop trying after tea.

Haha de Villiers whacked Lyon out of the attack with one shot.

 

[Redbacks]

Dear M Clarke

If Johnson wants to play test cricket he could at least put in a full run up or get ****ed.

 

[Spark]

170 in front is not that bad but watching these two bowl such pedestrian nothingness makes me want to stick a fork in my eye

 

[Top_Cat]

He was included in the tour to India last year but unfortunately got injured. Hopefully the selectors haven't forgotten him.

You'd hope not. Has bowled alright this season from what I've seen, not reflected in the wickets column yet though.

Agree with the person who said we should move on from Harris as attack leader too. Bad luck Rhino.

EDIT: heh, sounds like a Reddit meme.

 

[NasserFan207]

Wouldn't be too worried if I was Australia. One wicket and everything changes again.

Help me understand this criticism, friend. What is a long runup supposed to achieve, from a scientific perspective?

I wasn't joking when I said I had more faith in Hussey

 

[Ruckus]

Surely this is the end of Johnson for a while...

 

[Burgey]

If Ponting had Johnson's 2011 bowling average as his batting average, and vice versa, we'd still be ranked one.

medically speaking, symptom of vasculatory size
