**Official** South Africa in England 2012

It should work that way but it doesn't. Compare the speeds.

RM -> RMF -> RFM -> RF

Shane Bond is RF, Mark Gillespie is RFM and Kyle Mills is RMF.

I always associated it with the early 2000's Australian attack:

Lee as RF, Gillespie as RMF and McGrath as RFM. And Gillespie was clearly quicker than McGrath by that stage.

Although cricinfo lists Gillespie as RF. I'm confused.

I was always thinking along the lines of rvd. It just sounded logical. Then - as we see and Flem illustrates - it doesn't always follow that logic.

which brings me to tthe next question. Who is the one dishing out these labels anyway?

Hash - my man. Boy he is good - just good. Poetry ....

Sometimes it appears completely random. Chris Woakes is still described as RM despite pushing 80mph quite regularly in recent times. You can't read to much into the classification, really. Judge by the speeds on your TV.

Surely once Phallis gets the ton they'll up the ante a little bit.

Like watching Cook and Trott ATM. Only better, of course.

No reason why the Hash can't go berserk!

I went to the first three. Spent the first two getting baked in the O'Rielly then on the third moved up to the Trumper when the sun came across.

Soft ****.

Soft ****.

Swann, Broad and Kallis all looking to Ton up, I wonder who'll get there first.

Which one of few offered Hawke his beer?

It's kinda unsettling how good of a cricketer Kallis is.

Gillespie did push 150km/h at one stage

Gillespie was constantly hitting 140 and easily into the mid 140s so he was RF imo. McGrath was 135+ish for most of his career so RFM. Lee was bowling high 140 so he was RF+. A medium fast bowler would be Chaminda Vaas. He was 130ish

 

[grecian]

torture, pure torture

 

[Prince EWS]

Soft ****.

I'm more annoyed that he got to sit in the Trumper despite only paying for O'Reilly tickets tbh; I get suckered into actually playing top dollar every year.

the most orthodox cricketer.


what a loser

 

[mono]

SA need to accelerate now. They should push for a win here

 

[Spikey]

anderson's probably rmf, no?

 

[bombay_bomber]

Was just thinking with the ads coming along that Skull and Merv might be a good pair to go to the Old Blighty with

 

[NUFAN]

I know benchy especially appreciates this sort of thing.

Hashim Amla is in 90th spot all time for Test runs, closing in on Nathan Astle.

Where's Siddle on that list?

My ****ing ten year old didn't piss off into the shade ffs. When I told him we were going with a half hour left he (rightly) called me a disgrace and said wtte "Next thing you'll want to go and sit in the Trumper Stand you buffoon!"

And you know what? He was right. Had good, hard look at myself and hardened the **** up.

Burgeinho knows......
