Warne- " Renshaw looks organised and clam and organised."

He gets paid for this job.

after 3 balls

Think Faf would've preferred bowling to Warner under lights in a situation like this tbh. Get Warner out and the day goes massively in SA's favour.

Based on the philosophy of doing what your opponent would like least, & judging Smith's reaction, I'd say it was still the best decision at the time. Warner could nick off, but he could also blaze them to 0/50 off 10 overs.

 

[Starfighter]

Pitch scan aside, I think Warne's the most marked tool at C9.

 

[Spikey]

I heard he was ten? So he still would have caught a few years. Certainly he was old enough to have watched Hayden bat in England (though that would have admittedly been limited)

ah thought it was 12/13

 

[duffer]

For all the grief C9 gets, they come up with some great innovations like that pitch scan.

Was Smith's reaction the declaration though, or the fact that Warner couldn't bat + the garbage ending to the innings?

Might have been, I honestly didn't pay much attention

 

[kingkallis]

CSA wont change their mind... but deVillers could be the bigger man here and hand it over to Faf.

ABdV was not happy when the captaincy was given to Amla so I doubt he will hand it over to Faf just like that.

Hayden retired in 2009, not 1999.

I'm forgetting he was a traitor by time 06/07 rolled around. I only saw Hayden in test cricket really in 2005.

Even then I can't remember much of what he did as 12 year old so I doubt someone who was 12 when Hayden retired can remember what Hayden did in his prime to model his game on him.

Ergo warne talking shite.

Given it was when he was talking to the umps, I'm assuming Warner.

 

[mr_mister]

Warne talking utter shite. Renshaw is 4 and half years younger than me.

I hardly watched Hayden bat so I doubt this lad did.

you're 24 and you didn't see much of Hayden? Plenty of kids(like me) watched every ball of the Aussie Summer from ages 8-18

I clearly remember Hayden's batting during the 01-03 period, when I would have been 9-11 years old. Hayden was pretty easy to remember.

 

[Gnske]

WTF why aren't we scoring runs?

Where's the intent?

 

[mackembhoy]

I take offence to Renshaws being anyway. Someone who lived in this country till they were 7 should not been an Aussie.

I had a Sunderland season ticket by 6. Like me deciding I wanted to support Newcastle by 11 cos I lived in Newcastle territory my entire life.

 

[hazsa19]

Yeah, we can see how bowling full is really working well for him.

People have no idea how the game works ffs.

Haha that was **** bowling and you know it

 

[Adders]

LMAO........do think the Aussie cricketing ethos may have changed?? Batting for a draw on day 1

 

[Top_Cat]

Why the **** does Cricinfo bold this?

3.4

Abbott to Renshaw, no run, good length outside off, left alone. De Kock can't collect cleanly, he is whacked on the fingertips

So basically you saw him get dismissed by Matthew Hoggard a lot.

He moved from England to New Zealand when he was 7. Would've been easier to watch Hayden in NZ than England.
