4 again. Suddently the pitch seems to have eased up, or maybe there was nothing wrong with it in the first place

I did see the heavy roller in operation at the change of innings, that might have made a difference. I wonder if it will start to play up again in a few overs

 

[Burgey]

there's one.

 

[intcricket]

Hashim's in. This has gotta be a good partnership.

 

[Phantom]

So the ICC are okay with greentops like these where teams get bowled out for less than 100 but not dustbowls which do the same. Good stuff.

Funny isn't it? (not funny ha ha)

 

[Burgey]

call a sickie

I don't do them.

Sickie means no lunch, and it's Friday mate. Get with the program.

 

[Prince EWS]

HotSpot barely registered that and it was regulation.

thought you were better paid tbh

 

[benchmark00]

**** it's a muggy night. Lucky I have the day off tomorrow, not going to be able to sleep until 5am.

 

[Phantom]

Did you go to the loo at an inopportune moment and miss an innings?

HAHAHAHA, sadly so true

 

[Prince EWS]

Amla looks solid early.

 

[Burgey]

Haha. Could lunch for Australia tbf.

 

[hang on]

how is the pitch? relative to the last series?

can't figure it out. it is doing somthing but surely the middle innings scores belie its caprice and venom?

 

[Prince EWS]

HotSpot is ****.

Yeah, pretty much.

 

[Phantom]

Was between Copeland and Siddle tbf.

I don't doubt that, I was just replying to an earlier comment about Copeland in for Lyon in hindsight.

 

[andyc]

Clearly it must, because you've missed the point completely.

Would be very interested to hear your justification for his shot then, tbh.




Backing Johnson to gun it here; will fluke one or two and run through the rest. Please.

 

[Burgey]

Amla looks solid early.

He does, but lots of blokes have mate. If it goes horizontal you can be textbook, it won't matter though.

BCCI the saviour
