Happens all the time in reverse in district cricket in Melbourne. When it's a 40 degree day, there are lots of low scores, because the curators put more in it for the bowlers.

Philander is so overhyped it is unreal. Never expected him to run through us as he wasn't running through county sides earlier in the season. He has only beaten up the poor Aussie and NZ sides on perfect tracks to bowl on for christs sake.

Swanneh for a 10fer?

Na, pitch will break up as the game goes on. You get uneven bounce usually at Oval so Broad and Swann will bowl us to victory as long as the weather doesn't intervene.

Were the NZ tracks perfect to bowl on?

No. The reason people expect so much of him is because he's performed spectacularly. He has more 10fers in 7 matches than Broad or Anderson have in their careers, he's had a mental start to his career.
I think the point is that he was never going to keep that standard up for so long. Doesn't mean he's overhyped and doesn't mean he can't still bowl brilliantly against us.

I'm basing that assumption on the weather intervening at least one of the days, which it looks like it might. If there isn't any lost time, then yeah you might be right, although SA are a decent side against spin.

The weather looks to be getting better over the next few days.

Come on, he was never going to average 14 against England. Still think he will average around 30 but that is mortal not freaky like he is being hyped up to be.

Boucher not the only one looking at this series through one eye it seems.

Rain is forecast for tomorrow. Saturday is meant to be pretty grey as well. Sunday and Monday are the only days when good weather is forecast.

Well yesterday we were being told that Semen and Philanderer would bowl us out easily for low scores all series. They may be undercooked coming in but seeing as Philanderer has been here all summer he should have bowled better.
