Yepp same here

Good to see the new ball being wasted with excess bouncers. Clearly our bowers thought it wouldn't be fair if they didn't have the same handicap as SA during the Aus innings.

 

[Top_Cat]

? Been barely any bouncers this knock?

 

[Starfighter]

compensation coz he didnt get much of a bat. common australian tactic found in club and backyard games

When's my go then?

man of the people KP noting siddle's got ventricle

 

[ImpatientLime]

Pretty sure Duminy will come in handy in the second innings given Steyn is out

handy like a sheet of a4 becomes handy in the pouring rain when you've lost your umbrella.

First time in the match I think?

 

[Starfighter]

[Black_Warrior]

lol @ people hating on Cook before of his ugly stance.. The Pakistan-Australia thread is going to be so much much with YK and Misbah

 

[Marius]

you must have missed healy struggling to contain his laughter when saying de kock goes up

than again that's what half this thread is anyway so we're no better

My best was when De Kock played a late cut and Nasser Hussain enthusiastically going on about 'the touch of De Kock'.

"At times batsmen can convince themselves a crack's playing a part when it's really not."

*five minutes later*

"wtf why aren't they bowling at the crack???"

i'm glad that he doesn't bowl because otherwise they'd be having a field day talking about de kock hoping for the cracks

Man with the Eng-Pak series and the Eng-BD series, the Sky commentary and coverage is so fresh in my mind..just makes this even more difficult to tolerate

 

[Shady Slim]

healy noting that lyon is "always bowling well in this level"

literally there is no moment where nathan lyon is not bowling well in test matches ever

Shows how bad the Aussie comms are when people want Nick Knight and Dominic Cork back.
