***Official*** South Africa in Australia 2012

[smash84]

just logged on cricinfo to check the score.....WTF

 

[Spark]

Yeah, not sure what it was either because his bat didn't hit the pad. Probably his feet shuffling or something.

We've had a ton of those this series already - plays and misses with weird noises.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

I mean it's hard with that one, because I'm pretty sure Billy Bowden gave that out because South Africa have no reviews left. It is a pretty hard thing for the umpire when it is touch-and-go.

 

[Spikey]

surprised the guy at mid on didn't knock his shoulder out after landing on the ground or something

SA getting pwned.......does the wicket have anything for the bowlers?

 

[centurymaker]

It doesn't matter, South Africa no longer have any.

Since 2010, Clarke has had 7 innings above 150. Between his 2nd Test in 2004 and the Sydney New Years Test in 2010 he had 0. #statsarefun

Nope. But SA have been bowling turd apart from the occasional decent spell from Morkel and Rory and Australia have just batted superbly after the first three wickets went down.

 

[Riggins]

Personally think that should just be given out. Like I haven't seen anything to suggest that he without doubt didn't hit it.

Oh well.

BTW - who is the acting 12th man for Australia?

That was Ben Dougall out in the middle during the third umpire break.

 

[sphynx]

Clarke will grind SAF into the dust here, with two bowlers down.


Watch for Wade to come in and make a Warner-esque knock just to rub salt in to wounds.

Thanks bro. I had no idea who it was, just knew it wasn't anyone currently in the Shield team, since they are playing tomorrow.

what do his balls taste like out of interest?

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

All the way... with LBJ!

I agree with this and think that is why he took so long. I don't think it was a bad decision from him but I question whether he gave it because he genuinely thought there was a nick or because he knew Hussey could and would review it.

 

[Prince EWS]

Taste it sphynx.

 

[AlanJLegend]

Wade must me licking his lips. Flat pitch, short boundaries, plenty of runs already on the board and 2 of South Africa's best bowlers out of action (and the rest bowling tripe). Surely there is no better opportunity to come out and look like a boss.

 

[Dydl]

Not sure if Tahir usually has a problem with no balls, but he's now bowled three. Pretty rubbish for a spinner.
