Not facing the prospect of chasing 400+, no

Well who gave South Africa a chance of chasing 434 againt Australua?

 

[Antihippy]

I find it hilarious that the top 6 successful run chases features australia in the losing side.

You mean one of cricket's greatest ever miracles?

Anderson >>> Santler when you're needing to chase 400+ was the point.

 

[Howsie]

Heh, Nathan McCullum is quite possibly the worst international cricketer going around. That bowling average gone over 50 yet?

Well you need a good side to post a big score to run down. Its flattering. Plus Aussies like to bat first.

Economy rate. No wickets required per over in odi cricket.

Meh. He's not as good as Anderson but I'd hardly be surprised to see Santner 65 (40) here. The kid can hit a big ball. This bowling attack for England looks completely rubbish anyway so it's a chance of happening.

 

[Howsie]

Yep, and then his mates down the other end cop it.

 

[Zinzan]

Yeah, but wouldn't be surprised seeing Anderson getting 80 off 30 on a good day on this type of wicket. That's the difference.

 

[CaptainGrumpy]

Oh no.

 

[Ferraz]

Aaaaaaaand, game over.

 

[WalkingWicket]

Finn you beaut.

 

[91Jmay]

Pace back up for Finn, that is a good sign.

 

[CaptainGrumpy]

McCullums laid the platform and because he scored quickly the following batsmen are under less pressure to score quickly from here.

 

[Zinzan]

Yep, and then his mates down the other end cop it.

tbf, NcCullum's done a remarkable job to have a career ER under 5s (4.92) playing from 2009-2015 considering his lack of talent, but he does seem to be on a decline.

Bowling his allotment of overs 10 percent of the time too...

 

[Zinzan]

Guppy just needs to hit through the line.. This wicket should be perfect for him.

 

[Zinzan]

Bowling his allotment of overs 10 percent of the time too...

Yeah, and that makes a career ER of 4.92 in this era trash...

 

[JTemperance]

Pace back up for Finn, that is a good sign.

Jordan has just come on and is immediately quicker. I've never understood where people got the idea Finn is some kind of express pace demon from.

 

[Howsie]

Yeah, and that makes a career ER of 4.92 in this era trash...

He's a bowling all rounder who really is, or was, a bit part bowler.
