Shakiiiiib

 

[Athlai]

Whadda gun.

 

[Langeveldt]

bah.. Prints and Amla

 

[Langeveldt]

Uh god this is diabolical.. Hopefully Bangladesh will lose some concentration when they start to sense an upset here..

 

[Langeveldt]

Oh my god.. I just bought the computer downstairs so I could watch the test match.. Reckon I shouldn't have bothered

 

[Athlai]

Shakib!!!!!!!!

 

[Spikey]

Thats de Villiers first duck isn't it?

 

[Rant0r]

Kerry O'Keefe suggested the same thing; couldn't believe what I was hearing.

He's returned some pretty decent figures recently and he's an intelligent bowler but he really has nothing on Vettori at this stage - and I'm not even a huge fan of Vettori the bowler. You only need to watch the guy bowl a few overs to see that.

if nothing else vettori is probably the most intelligent spin bowler in the world, and the one who most effectively uses the more subtle variations of flight, dip and speed

 

[Langeveldt]

Thats de Villiers first duck isn't it?

Yeah

I'm not happy with Amla walking off, although the umpire raised his finger when he saw him go off.. Yeah I know he is an honourable unflawed kind of character, but it's a team game and he could have put SA under the cosh by doing so.. Might not have been given out

It sure is. Nice going Banga's

 

[kingkallis]

Yeah

Oh comon dont be silly! He is an honest man and will remain same!

He didnt know that AB will do a silly thing, this guy is so talented but he gifts his wicket away just like Gibbs!

Is this how SAF wanna win in Australia?

 

[Rant0r]

would like to see shakib live though, might look that one up, one for the future.

and there's nothing wrong with walking, lets remember cricket was once a gentleman's game

 

[Langeveldt]

Is this how SAF wanna win in Australia?

I hope we don't walk, do you expect all the Aussies to do so?

 

[Langeveldt]

But it isn't any more, and if you are losing matches and money because the other team are not playing to the same protocol as you are, then something is wrong with your approach..

 

[Scaly piscine]

Heh I was just thinking how stupid it was that SA were 50-1 odds on favourite when it was 100-2. I know Bangladesh are relatively crap and choke a lot, but they're going to win a big Test one day and it's easier for them to do that defending a total than chasing it.

 

[Langeveldt]

would like to see shakib live though,

I've been very impressed

 

[Athlai]

One of the top spinners in the world for sure and only 21.

i'm old fashioned

And SA sometimes.... choke.

 

[Athlai]

What is this pitch going to be like in the 4th innings?
