***Official*** Australia in South Africa

[Furball]

Who the **** is playing 'Flower of Scotland' on the bagpipes?

 

[Furball]

Paddling.

Hopefully the First Test sees a similar thrashing for South Africa.

 

[Howe_zat]

Alright then. Played, Aussies. I'm going to bed.

Interesting List A debut for Cummins - 3 overs, 3 wickets, 28 runs!

Good to see the win.

 

[Furball]

He's played twice for New South Wales.

 

[Spark]

Ah. Oops.

 

[Cabinet96]

Never got a wicket though. His first List A wicket was Jacques Kallis in an ODI. Not bad.

 

[Spikey]

cummins is a nice throw back to quick bowlers being awful fielders, just ****ing abysmal fielders

 

[Spark]

Haha yeah I did notice he looked less than secure whilst catching.

I guess schoolboy mistakes are more forgiveable when you're practically a schoolboy anyway.

they've been using

as his picture in pretty much every article over the past week, which of course is odd 'cause it ain't flattering at all. although he did catch that one. one or two awful drops during the champs league too

 

[Loose Cannon]

Is his nickname really "Cummo" as cricinfo suggests. Needs more work if true.

I'm not really looking forward to descriptions of:

"Cummo sprays down leg"

"Cummo is all over the batsmen".

so fare thee well to copes then?

Pretty bull**** if that's the case...but I feel it might be.

 

[Prince EWS]

Enjoy Botha's batting a lot more than his quote-unquote "bowling". Clean striker.

Spent the first half of his FC career as a batting allrounder who bowled brisk medium pace. You would've been a fan.

yeah can't say i'm too thrilled at the prospect of harris/johnson/lyon/cummins but with each wicket taking performance i grow more certain he'll get picked, and copeland and lyon are the only candidates to get dropped

Andrew Wu's* thoughts on Cummins: "Twelve months ago he was bowling in the park, now he could well be the saviour of Australian cricket."

is one of the great pictures though so the article is saved

* or editor

 

[Sylvester]

Sounded like Johnson was getting swing so if he wasn't a certainty he is now.
Solid debut by Marsh and Cummins, both look to be players our ODI side has been calling for.

there's just so many questions this picture raises. why are they so dirty? why are they using a keeper for backyard cricket when there's a shed near by? Why is the keeper using gloves? Why are they using a mat? shouldn't they move that plant?

I'd go as far to say that the use of keeping gloves in backyard games is the reason for cummin's poor catching ability tbh
