Hopes

 

[pup11]

Exhibit E as to why Hopes has to open if he's in the team.

Or work on his lower order batting ala Watto...

 

[Johnners]

However Marsh and Warner look to have that covered. So get him out of there, quickly.

Well, it's what I was getting at

 

[Johnners]

Or work on his lower order batting ala Watto...

The problem with that is pretty simple. He's nowhere near as good a batsmen as Watto.

 

[Nate]

Hopes stops the two. If you're gonna disallow Bracken runs Hopes...

EDIT: And gets out. Nicely done.

 

[thierry henry]

Basically not a very good innings by Hopes tbh....well done South Africa

 

[pup11]

Aussies bowled out with balls to spare, piss-poor effort again at the death by the Aussies.

lolerT8z

epic fail by Australia, 50 runs short of what they should have made, but still sets up an interesting 2nd inning...now...to beer, or not to beer?

 

[Johnners]

Past 3 Australian innings showing just how important Clarke & Symonds are to the Australian ODI team. Top 3 have given the team reasonable starts, only for the middle/lower order to completely blow it (apart from Dussey, to a certain extent).

Clarke can crab a bit though.

The perfect deck for Hopes to bowl on really. Should be good.

Aussies bowled out with balls to spare, piss-poor effort again at the death by the Aussies.

Was poor considering it was looking like 300 minimum at 25 overs.

That said the pitch is clearly sluggish & difficult to score against the slow bowlers with the old ball.

As a I said before, SA need to get off to a flyer against the new ball even if it means losing a few wickets and being 3 down if the first 20 overs

lol Slats seems to be more obsessed with height than I am....funny as he's really not that short, but seems to have a real complex about it

 

[pup11]

Clarke can crab a bit though.

Despite Clarke' recent poor run in ODI cricket he is one of the best middle order ODI batsmen in the world.

Haha, didn't think anyone else was more obsessed than you when it came to players heights

True that, but he and Hauritz are probably going to be the bowlers that the Saffies would probably target.

 

[pasag]

Only saw the first 10 overs during lunch, Warner was gun. Seems like another poor finish from us.

 

[pup11]

C'mon Punter, should have taken that...

 

[pup11]

Two dropped catches in the same over, feeling bad for Tait.

 

[Prince EWS]

So basically you're sort of like PrinceEWS, and want batsmen to play with the same (or similar) techniques?

Awesome, I got a reference.
