Dossier on Amla working a treat

Its one thing being an attacking captain vs Ind WI and NZ. And another vs a side as good as yours like Eng/SA. Clarke's so-called-attacking-mindset would surely be tested this series !!

No slips already LOL

I can see you are here for the long haul.

They'll need to update it to include "catch the ball".

 

[Jono]

lol Jono saying Amla doesn't give chances.

Said Amla hasn't given a chance his whole career. Benchy decides to take post seriously.

 

[Prince EWS]

A Pete Siddle caught and bowled being amongst the Classic Catches options just makes it hurt so much more. ****s.

lol yeah he looks perturbed alright

 

[Burgey]

Siddle's bowling my pace ffs. The curse of the official CA ads strikes again. First Dougeh now Sid.

Eat a steak you ****ing Victorian ****

 

[Spikey]

hilf's struggling so bad today he's got one side of his collar up and the other side down #fallingapart

 

[Burgey]

Back to his Ashes best is Hilf. WAC. Give him a cheer for his 100th innocuous outswinger of the day.

 

[Spikey]

that hilf ad is even worse than his collar

 

[Spikey]

it's 4:45pm and tayor and chappell are talking about how useful part leg spinners can be. summer is here

Anyone remember me saying Siddle will revert to type a couple of weeks back?

i just assumed we were all pretty worried about siddle and hilf returning to norm, so to speak

 

[uvelocity]

If these ****s don't do something there will be a murder up in here

 

[say2chintu]

Watching live coverage from Sky Sports. No ads on screen, not even in between overs changes . BLISS !! (Only during drinks break!)

 

[Spikey]

still, basically loving half the south african team, inc. the two at the crease, makes this fairly tolerable

 

[NUFAN]

I still don't think we've bowled that bad. Just that no-ball and dropped catch has hurt us. It would be handy if Lyon could keep it tight.

yeah it's a bit of a concern. Because, really, Siddle's best quality is the whole runs in hard, all day/everyday thing, but if he isn't even bowling quickly it's like so what? Anyone can run in all day and bowl 130ks. He also generally seems to just get move movement off the deck when he is bowling quickly, and little to nothing when he isn't. Like, honestly, if he is going to continue to bowl low 130's we might as well just bring in someone who can do it better than him.

 

[Jono]

No.

Mark Taylor: "these two batsmen the kind that can turn 100s into 200s and 300s."

Amla, yes. Kallis?
