ok Clarkeh, it's your day. Go Large.

 

[Adders]

Gonna put this out there.......Philander is no way the best bowler in the world. A guy playing his second test kept Clarke grounded for 20+ balls, I think it took 3 (?) from Philander before he got the run. Abbot will be filthy with him.

 

[Garson007]

Philander hasn't been great this season. Average is probably above 25.

 

[Daemon]

Philander's average dangerously close to hitting 20 for the first time in his short career.

 

[Spark]

Average has taken a fair battering. Not far from 20 now

 

[dermo]

yessssss

 

[Spark]

That's nuts

 

[OverratedSanity]

smitteh wouldve launched this **** back over his head by now

Most satisfying sight of the summer. Brilliant

Epic hundred. One of his very best. I'd say not many apart from his Capetown ton would rank higher, especially if they win this

 

[Burgey]

That's insane batting from TPC. Immense.

 

[adub]

that's just ****ing nuts

Thankfully how long we can keep someone on 99 is not how cricket is played nor the litmus test of a bowler.

 

[Spark]

Haha, that's an ICC Cricket Captain field

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Reports have it that Philanders average is approaching 20!

 

[Garson007]

Bad sort of surface to play your second test on, mind. People will go back to stats to criticize Abbott's selection in the future.

 

[Adders]

Saffers should have just gifted him the run then??

Cricket is about building pressure, Abbot had a pressure cooker going and Philander lifted the lid. Sorry, my post was pretty simplistic and I'm not saying Philander is **** or anything, just don't think his average and current ranking is a true reflection IMO.

 

[Garson007]

The batsmen are leaving so well, ****. Totally confidence in the surface and eye.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah look, he's bowled proper piss today. Abbott was bowling brilliantly and Philander kept releasing pressure at the other end. A bowler keeping it equally tight at the other end would have undoubtedly led to a wicket imo

Just a few more days until we celebrate the anniversary of homework gate aka The Return of Steve Smith and the Re-Birth of Australian Cricket
