***Official*** Australia in South Africa

Haha, the commentators think the tactics are 'unaustralian'. No, Johnson is just in rubbish mode.

One of those decisions which gives fuel to the DRS critics. If Bowden gave it and Amla referred it, would have been out.

Meanwhile, in Mitchland...

Gee, how much more of the ball needed to hit????

There's a line down the middle of the bails, was about one inch above it.

Hah, Johnson on the short run, to have more control, what a woeful over, he had no idea where they were going.

 

[Ruckus]

Perfect line, really liking this. Edit: less perfect.

Hah, Johnson on the short run, to have more control, what a woeful over, he had no idea where they were going.

His control's been better today compared to the first innings, tbh. Besides, the longer runup is useless to a stop-start customer like Johnson. Any momentum he builds up goes out of the window at the landing crease and it's all shoulder from thereon.

 

[Outswinger@Pace]

That was actually a good ball. Quick, rising deliveries just down the legside may get a glove through to the keeper. Difficult to play properly. Fair effort that!

leg

 

[BoyBrumby]

possible new thread idea: Would Peter Siddle make India's strongest test XI?

Touch and go, IMHO. I'd take Zaheer and Praveen ahead of him, but Sid and Ishant is a toss up.

Oooo. Missing leg for my quid. Good non-review.

 

[Spark]

Down leg, but geez he's asking a hell of a lot of questions here, and the answers have been found seriously wanting atm

 

[Ruckus]

Down leg, too high?

 

[uvelocity]

can I make a request for a keyboard shortcut or button to vote on whether one feels a particular delivery is out or not out.

typing stuff too slow imo

 

[robelinda]

Harris, Cummins, Cutting for Brisbane.

 

[Sylvester]

No idea how that boy swings it but that ball looked good.

 

[uvelocity]

see, your so **** johnson you had no short leg. if you could ****ing bowl, you'd have a short leg, and he couldn't play that shot.

 

[Outswinger@Pace]

Touch and go, IMHO. I'd take Zaheer and Praveen ahead of him, but Sid and Ishant is a toss up.

On promise, I'd throw in Yadav ahead of Sids. Seen him a lot in fc and early signs in the two tests against West Indies were quite encouraging.

 

[Ruckus]

Is the crowd chanting Siddle's a wanker haha?

 

[uvelocity]

If y'all want to play shots like that in a test, it's no wonder if you get out cheap.
