*Official* Match 31 - Australia v Kenya

[Spark]

That was seriously inflated by some late gifts at Adelaide though.

 

[Jono]

What are you doing Australia?

 

[pup11]

There was massive turn for Kenyan offies from over the wicket, so it just beats me why Crayfish would bowl around the wicket!!

 

[Spark]

Not liking Krezja's bowling here. Tight, but just flat darts. Not his style.

 

[Spark]

Good 50 by Mishra.

This is really average stuff. Come on Punter, you can do better than this

 

[pup11]

What are you doing Australia?

Going through the motions...!!!

Can say the same about Smith as well, most of his wickets too came on the back some poor English batting.

EDIT: Jeez.. White for a 27 year old certainly looks stiff as a 67 year old...

 

[Jono]

Yeah but I have all of Tait, Lee and Johnson in my Cricinfo fant. team. Get me some ****in points!

Stop bowling Smith!

No doubt but they tended to be critical wickets at important times.

Four overs for Clarke. Can Watson not be arsed to bowl today?

 

[pup11]

Kenya has struggled to even muster 100 runs as a team and to see these two put together a 100 run partnership is something that really puts the Australian bowling in shady spot.

Also I've a feeling Krezja has been asked to do a holding job and that's why he is bowling so flat and frankly if he is gonna bowl like this then we might just as well have Dussey play ahead of him.

 

[Spark]

He's not bowled terribly but, er... why is Clarke still on?

And now Watto gets a bowl. Hey Ponting the reason the big poles and plastic things are missing is because this is NOT a net session

 

[BeeGee]

Excellent partnership.

 

[Howe_zat]

Because Australia are aiming for "Not terrible" today. Sums it up nicely really.

 

[Spark]

Hmm this is so odd. Such a blatant lack of intensity.

 

[Spark]

I think pup has a point - if Krezja is just going to bowl flat holding darts, then there's no reason Dussey and Clarke couldn't handle that job. Or get Hastings in.

 

[pup11]

It would really have to be some dust-bowl if we are going to be using Clarke's bowling against a stronger side, so that's why I think this is an absolute waste making Clarke bowl all these overs, last thing one needs is him doing his back bowling these inconsequential overs.

Anyways this is getting pretty ridiculous now.... FFS....bring on Binga....

EDIT: Direct hit from Clarke too would do very nicely...

 

[Spark]

Ah, sad end to a good knock. Highly impressive knock nonetheless.

Not brilliant that a run out looked the most likely mode of dismissal though

 

[pup11]

C'mon no more dramas wrap this up quick now....

 

[Spark]

First live direct hit I've seen from Clarke in quite a while. Think he knows it too.
