***Official*** Australia in South Africa + South Africa in Australia 2016/17

Well good thing he has a reason to skip the next two games then

He'll want to play the day night test if the wicket looks grassy

This deceleration nonsense has also infected cricinfo now. 145 overs might not be enough! South Africa might really regret not having 150 overs to bowl Australia out!! Durr, Durr. All, from whiny Aussies begging for a declaration, while also proclaiming South Africa to be "too defensive".

Worst post I've seen for a while. Bookmarking this to come back and have a laugh at if Australia get a draw because SA didn't have enough overs.

Clarke is a decent commentator. He makes good points and attempts to think from the perspective of the players on the field rather than just tell us how it should be done like Warne.

This aus team lacks players who are capable of playing a blockathon

Currentely most of them are free flowing stroke makers which is not going to work unless warner pulls out a blaze

Nevill tried in Sri Lanka IIRC.

Voges could do it I guess.

I'd almost rather see Australia draw this than win it. Just to show that they can.

Bookmark away.

I can't be bothered bookmarking the numerous whiny posts begging for a mercy declaration. So I'll just tell the morons going "Nooooo WTF . Declare now!! What if 142 overs is not enough? What if they need 144? Sooo defensive!!!! Steve Waugh would have declared by now!!! They're just giving Australia a chance to draw now!!!" to castrate themselves after Australia are bowled out with plenty of overs left. Painfully.

lol you think they need more than 550 runs more than they need more than 145 overs?

Because that's exactly what you're saying

If you honestly think that, that's fine. Otherwise you're engaging in an extreme logical fallacy

 

[NUFAN]

Handy bowling strike rate there JP.

 

[SteveNZ]

Declarations. Honestly, I think the discussions thereof is an Australian past-time, and if you don't indulge in the topic you're un-Australian to use that horribly stigmatic term.

I swear I remember a Test where Ian Healy and Brayshaw were in commentary, Warner blocked the first ball of the match and they started discussing when would be the best time to declare on this pitch. (any suggestions it must've been a Test v NZ can get ****ed).

 

[ajdude]

they're talking about part timers in Cook and Bavuma maybe having to bowl, what about Du Plessis himself? wasn't he a frontline leggie before he got bunted up the order and made runs?

 

[duffer]

Ah, more Warne cringe. He's had quite a day.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Tough catch, made it look harder than it was though. Completely mis-timed his jump.

 

[morgieb]

Wow, that's a run-out.

 

[StephenZA]

What great fielding... yes. Huge!

 

[anil1405]

Bonus. Big bonus.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

lol gonner

 

[Spikey]

little south african with the awesome fielding

 

[duffer]

Oh Temba, marry my sister please.

 

[TheJediBrah]

lol what a dumbass

should be playing for draw and you get run out

 

[Jono]

I swear that looked out live, not sure why there was no celebration and the comms thought he was home.

 

[OverratedSanity]

lol run out trying to draw a test. Wonderful.
