Loving the way Johnson's bowling right now, menacing but without a lot of the loose stuff he served up in England. Lots of smart cricket going on with him right now.

EDIT: Actually, loving the bowling unit in general. Harris is bowling the tight stuff which Siddle missed this year. Very workmanlike attack with Johnson to provide the gunnage when needed.

 

[Dydl]

Love the commentary leading up to that wicket.

 

[JBH001]

Skip.

Rob says:
*****ing hell Sinclair, use your feet to Clarke ffs.
Rob says:
*Haha and he did next ball!
Rob says:
*Let me try something...
Rob says:
*****ing hell Sinclair, hit a ton ffs.
Peaches says:
*HAHAHA
Rob says:
*I got greedy.
Peaches says:
*Look what you've ****ing done.
Peaches says:
*You put way too much pressure on him, and he couldn't handle it.

So dire.

And so ends the career of Matthew Sinclair, to the bowling of Michael Clarke. Appropriate.

 

[Craig]

A fatwa against Michael Clarke.

I'm sure you've said that before. You were wrong. You'll be wrong again.

That's what we said last time.

And the time before.

2 more wickets and we are into the tail.

Would kind of say the same for most teams tbf.

 

[slugger]

it took nz a day and half to get 4 wickets...
takes australia a session and half...

 

[Zinzan]

Could see that coming from a mile away.

Yup Taylor's wicket seemed inevitable against Johnson then. For all his natural ability, he's still mentally very weak IMO

 

[Craig]

Does Ponting not rate Hauritz?

Haha, not bashing Jeets, mate. Not this time at any rate.

Reckon he has is one of our stronger batsman mentally, loves to dig in when the going is tough. Hardly his fault that Johnson's bowling well and the rest of the batting and bowling has let him down.

Wasn't Jeets specific at all, a lot of teams these days have pretty weak number 8s.

Morne Morke/Harris, J Taylor, Aamer, Thushara all worse than or equal to Tuffey/Patel.

Johnson, Harby and Broad are all handy but not of the same class yet as Vettori, Pollock or Vaas.

 

[Craig]

Vettori is 48 runs away from 4000 Test runs. And in his next FC game, his next wicket will give him 500 FC wickets.

Only one man has reached the 4000 Test run 400 Test wickets club, who is he?
