True, it's who will translate form up at the higher level but in fairness Hughes may have made runs against this dispirited mob too.With Marsh dominating and Doolan playing well and clover being spread everywhere, I will leave Australian posters with the thought that maybe it's not always good policy to just read the shield averages and pick off that list.
Big call. tons in his last two tests. May well happen though.I like Rogers. But even I'd drop him.
Part of the Craig David "Chill on Sunday" policy.So, uh, exactly whose idea was it to start this test on a Wednesday?
Watson should prob come in for him, but it's kinda tough on Rogers. He's been doing a serviceable enough job and I'd bet my house on at least one of Marsh or Doolan not being up to scratch in the medium-long term...but unfortunately for Rogers if he is dropped it's hard to see him coming back given how close he probably is to being done anyway.I like Rogers. But even I'd drop him.
Yeah its incredibly harsh and I feel awful for even saying it tbh.Big call. tons in his last two tests. May well happen though.
I don't think it was ever the plan, but after middling a grand total of zero balls in three overs I think Clarke just thought "nah **** this"Slightly odd passage of play.
Waste a couple of overs for no good reason.
Not really. Would rather have the Saffers come out onto the field then have to go back off rather than have the night or lunch to prepare for a big batting effort. Smith and Peterson probably weren't expecting it either so it's usual quirky captaincy from Clarke.Slightly odd passage of play.
Waste a couple of overs for no good reason.
Will get to 460 and then give up imo.South Africa to win from here IMO.
