***Official*** Australia in South Africa 2013/14

Siddle's series strike rate ballooning to well over 120.

 

[Spikey]

At Siddle's pace it wouldn't squash a fly.

would have also accepted "he won't have to take any anyway"

 

[benchmark00]

Nice Nath. Good movement.

 

[benchmark00]

Gotta strike now, bring on your best bowlers to get Philander.

 

[karan316]

The approach of the SA team has been really good, they are looking to pile as many runs as possible in the 1st innings which will allow their bowlers to bowl a lot more aggressively. Should look for 400+.

 

[Spikey]

my cat waking up was the catalyst for that wicket imo

 

[benchmark00]

This doesn't make any sense. What is the purpose of Siddle bowling over the wicket with Haddin up? Leg side stumping perhaps?

 

[Jono]

Duminy with a huge chance to make benchy look foolish here,

 

[smash84]

With AB gone Aus should be looking to stop the SA under 425 and then go for the jugular

 

[Second Spitter]

And just because wickets are slow doesn't mean results don't happen.

A problematic proposition for a team not carrying a spinner.

Duminy with a huge chance to make benchy look foolish here,

Only if he scores 46 more runs and South Africa get bowled out with making no more than 49 runs...

 

[Adders]

WTF, Just go outside to check on the kids party (11 yr bday happening here) and come back to find ABD walking off.......where did that come from???

425 would be in a sub-par score in my book, compounded by Seth's stodgy batting.

 

[benchmark00]

Jeez it'll be a real thrill a minute when Chris Rogers gets a go on this deck.

 

[Adders]

If you thought that was funny when you posted it Ruckus, I'm here to tell you that it really wasn't.

Steve Randell's back?

 

[Ruckus]

ok thanks for the feedback. Be interested to see how warner approaches this given the slowness of the wicket, will probably be a test for him to curb his natural instincts.

i'm gonna record usa-canada and if rogers is not out at stumps, i will only start watching it when play starts tomorrow
