Phillip Hughes was just described as a bowler on the onscreen team list. Bloody hell, If he's a bowling all-rounder he must be awesome. I'll back him to come on and take 5

When was the last time in a series you remember Australia having only 3 players over 30 years. In recent years, they've been lucky to have 2-3 under 30Phillip Hughes was just described as a bowler on the onscreen team list. Bloody hell, If he's a bowling all-rounder he must be awesome.

Ah, my fault. Apologies!
You're assuming the tides work without the help of a divine being.

Australia look to have this game set, bar some late order fight from the South Africans.
Really need to sort the catching situation out. Ridiculous that two fine fielders in North and Clarke shell very simple catches. It makes such a huge difference with an undermanned bowling attack that every catch is taken. It is no longer a guarantee that every edge will be pounced upon, which at this level is not acceptable for professional cricketers.

Bugger!
Gee Duminy handles the short ball well...hopefully there's more of those coming.

I reckon you're right.
Bollinger in for Hilfenhaus wouldn't hurt - OR even McGain in for Hilfenhaus.
Not rating the 'Haus - I thought he was dreadful in the 1-dayers in Aus, and has been average in the test arena to date.
I don't understand what's going on with him - at 140kph+ bowling outswing, one might think he'd have more success... (see Steyn, Dale.)

Clarke, like Ponting, is an excellent fielder who's worked hard to turn themselves into a slip. Our infield fielding has declined because we've been forced to move them there, and they are not real replacements for excellent natural slips like Taylor, Mark Waugh, Warne and Hayden.
Slips are now our biggest fielding liability.

It swings straight out of the hand and he's always too short.
