why do south africa gotta go ruin everything

 

[Boris_Dog]

Well played Cummins. 50 for Lyon and the game is alive again.

How the **** was that initially given out? Pitches middle from a guy who doesn't really rag them, takes middle and off. That's just awful.

Yeah that was a shocker, frankly

Well they do say that the games from your childhood make the biggest impression, and he must have been about 7 when the WSC matches were played.
Perhaps not an age to make that sort of judgement though.

Chadd Sayers is not looking all that terrible now, is he?

Based on what? He is still been the slowest of all the seamers on show by some distance.

 

[Borges]

Well they do say that the games from your childhood make the biggest impression.

True. For a very long time, I thought that Andy Roberts was the greatest fast bowler in the history of the game. Until I got to see first Malcolm Marshall and then Dale Steyn,

FWIW, I still hold on to my fond belief that he is the third greatest fast bowler, ever.

 

[the big bambino]

He's about the same speed as Philander.

 

[Stefan9]

He's about the same speed as Philander.

No most of the spells I have seen he has been 122. Philander is 125-128. Big Vern is slow but he is faster then Sayers.

and?

 

[ajdude]

geez there isn't much going on inside or outside of lyon's head is there

 

[SeamUp]

 

[Borges]

They should at least wait for Paine to get to his fifty, before attempting trick shots.

 

[harsh.ag]

He's trying to hand off the captaincy already.

Thumb off

 

[StephenZA]

So just bat again... no need to enforce follow on?

 

[ajdude]

fully expecting hazlewood to hole out here. these guys are so dumb

 

[StephenZA]

Fantastic catch.....

 

[ajdude]

[vcs]
