Chance for flynn to get his maiden ton?

 

[Flem274*]

This team needs more Ingram

 

[Zinzan]

Is this the same ground that SA has Aust 24 for 9 or whatever it was?

 

[Athlai]

This team needs more Ingram

Could have a point here. I need more CD players to blame.

 

[straw man]

James Frankllin getting a 100 here would surely secure his spot in the team till he retires.

About as likely as Chris Martin to score a hundred here

Flynn to compile a 28* while the rest of the team fall.

 

[Blakey]

The score is looking that **** they may as well throw the damn handle at it.

Is this the same ground where Aus were bowled out for 47 a couple of seasons back?

And didn't Philanderer get 5 then also?

 

[wellAlbidarned]

OK we're just going to give Philander a 10-for on a plate eventually if we keep prodding meekly like this. Slap the **** back over his head, put him off a bit. It's easy as pie. [/armchairexpert]

I think so

Wtf is Morkel bowling here?

Edit: Oh I see it's a get-Franklin-out ball

 

[Athlai]

I hate the world.

 

[SilentOne]

I hope we can get more than 47.....

 

[Teja.]

Philander at home - 35 wickets in 5 tests( including the one going on) at 11.4
Philander away - 37 wickets in 8 tests @ 21.8

 

[kingkallis]

Will Steyn get the 300th wicket in this game?

 

[Zinzan]

Haha, finally Morkel bowls one he can reach .....

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Disagree - Philander's been outstanding and this is a great pitch for him - probably even moreso than for Steyn. Significantly better lineups than ours would be struggling here.

well i only have cricinfo to watch and its not being very helpful, but surely some early season PS pitches would be around about as helpful for the seamers

 

[Athlai]

**** this Im getting a drink.

 

[Flem274*]

If this goes as badly as it looks like it will NZC will be kissing some serious bum in an attempt to get Taylor and Ryder over there for the second test.

Now please stop trying to be a batting allrounder Franko and go back to bowling like its 2005

 

[Zinzan]

Philander at home - 35 wickets in 5 tests( including the one going on) at 11.4
Philander away - 37 wickets in 8 tests @ 21.8

Pfft, what a joke, he's twice as bad away from home.

 

[Bahnz]

Gah, Morkel ruining Philander's shot at history. Just send Boult out to have a flail.

...song seemed appropriate.

 

[benchmark00]
