Let's just hope we dont need to. Macca is bowling well

 

[sportychic33]

i think we should give tuffey a couple of overs, just to see how he can reply. but macca is bowling really well, pitch seems to be suited to the slower bowlers

Stick with Macca for now - if the plumbing ain't broke, don't fix it.

The only problem is that Macca is going to be claiming to be an allrounder again.

Yeah, I know... silly bugger. Everyone knows he's just a bowler.

Good to see him doing well though. He gets his share of abuse from the likes of me, mostly deserved due to his brain-explosions with the bat.

wtf's Fleming doing on the boundary?

 

[Loony BoB]

Probably has too many excellent fielders at his disposal!

There doesn't seem to be much Australian input into this thread I've noticed since Symonds got out.

 

[Loony BoB]

I've got an Aussie chatting to me right now, and one is enough!

Way too many singles being taken.

Better than 4s though. Do you think Fleming's field is a bit defensive?

 

[Loony BoB]

I've no bloody clue, I can't see it.

Poor old Tuffers has had a shocker. Doesn't look like he'll get another bowl.

Yeah he gave Australia to many runs

 

[SIX AND OUT]

Good turnaround by Clarke and Hussey,

forming a good partnership and hopefully force the score towards 230 or so. Defendable on this pitch I would think?

Looks like it will come right down to the wire.

I think Aussie would want more than 230... easily.

I'd say 250-260

They've done a great job really. Could be anything up to 260 now when it was looking like 220
