[vcs]

he had a pretty terrible series against us last time around though

The one last November? How?

 

[StephenZA]

Dammitt... good bouncer though.

 

[Spark]

Oh geez getting lobbed for four gives you the shits

 

[Burgey]

I used to tell the kids I coached that if a ball went over their head and bounced inside the rope they shouldn't bother coming back on the field once they've thrown the ball back.

 

[Spark]

The one last November? How?

Oh I meant the last one in SA, oops

 

[harsh.ag]

Who bungled the Root catch? Don't know him. Must be de Bruyn.

 

[Black_Warrior]

****ing hell

 

[Black_Warrior]

Ballance hundred today?

 

[harsh.ag]

James Taylor looks mighty sharp.

 

[Prince EWS]

Nah, Markram. Sub fielder while Philander is off.

 

[vcs]

Nah, Markram. Sub fielder while Philander is off.

Haha Philander doesn't do his reputation any favours. Bowls his opening spell and goes off to put his feet up.

 

[Burgey]

Nasser, there was genuinely no difference in Rabada's action in those side by side shots

He gets to do what he wants as far as I`m concerned.....

 

[harsh.ag]

Ballance's defence is vomit inducing.

 

[Prince EWS]

Nasser, there was genuinely no difference in Rabada's action in those side by side shots

I thought this too

 

[Spark]

Ballance's defence is vomit inducing.

Yeah, he's batting well and technically he looks infinitely better than he did when he was dropped, but ugh.

 

[harsh.ag]

Haha Philander doesn't do his reputation any favours. Bowls his opening spell and goes off to put his feet up.

He's back now.

Nasser, there was genuinely no difference in Rabada's action in those side by side shots

Little bit of a slope to the left, but yeah not much difference.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Haha Philander doesn't do his reputation any favours. Bowls his opening spell and goes off to put his feet up.

A lot of bowlers do that actually. But Philander with his reputation gets noticed more

 

[Burner]

Ballance has lost quite a bit of weight from what I've last seen of him.

 

[Woodster]

Yeah, he's batting well and technically he looks infinitely better than he did when he was dropped, but ugh.

You not enjoy this glorious extra cover drives ?? Surely comparisons with Mike Hussey can't be far off the mark ?

Yes he is a rather difficult player to watch, and enjoy.
