Have a slog

What did Philander have for breakfast this morning, and can we make sure he has that every morning of a test?

In a rush to get to Morkel's farewell Braai

 

[kingkallis]

Let Morkel bowl now...

I reckon in part this shows the benefit of SA batting on and on on yesterday; just mentally fried an already demoralised team and total disintegration today is the result.

it's almost as if anyone who isn't a completely stubborn one-eyed moron who confuses watchability (i.e. not "the good ol' days" aus cricketers) with logic knew this all along

 

[SeamUp]

First time since Australia's thrashing in South Africa in 1970 that not one Australian batsmen has scored a 100 in a 4 or 5 test-match series.

Can't imagine how pissed off Cummins would be. He's 50% of this side right now.

 

[Burgey]

Need to pick some blokes who have some ticker and know how to win:

Affleck
Ward
Bertus (c) (+)
Cherry
S Abbott 3
B Abbott
Turrell
Cummins 1
Copperfield 4
Martin 2
Lyon 5

Would have picked Jack White instead of Lyon but he’s a Pom.

No reason why Vern can’t play until he’s 40

People forget the importance of mental disintegration in test cricket.... this whole series turned to a large extent on that brutal session between Amla and Elgar at Port Elizabeth, just tiring the Aus attack before ABdV attacking 100....

Vern has just wrecked Australia. Honestly deserves a brutal word. Not surgeon.

The butcher

The only thing about mental disintegration is you have to know where to draw the line....

You don't need to say or do a thing, as Amla and Elgar showed....

 

[mr_mister]

Philanders economy rate is always awesome

 

[StephenZA]

Fitting end to Morkels career.... lots of plays and misses and no wickets.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Only 500 needed now

 

[GotSpin]

Ah **** I thought this started at 7pm...

 

[Flametree]

Ah **** I thought this started at 7pm...

's okay, you didn't miss much...

Draw the line?? I assume you mean don't go overboard or get personal when it comes to sledging...
