Re: Australia v South Africa, 4th ODI, Adelaide, Jan 26

Aussies are funny. Why play one ODI on Friday and the next on Monday? Okay, I understand Monday is a public holiday in Aus, but surely they could have had the previous match on Saturday? columbo

The domestic T20 final was on the Saturday.

Vaughn Van Jaarsveld was a chance to came in but tripped over himself at training. He's not the most coordinated boy going around. So SA will in theory strengthen its bowling with the big Morkel replacing Boucher, though Kallis probably won't bowl. While Albie moves up to #7.

Australia in contrast, is trying to shore up its batting with White replacing Hauritz, though White might bowl as well given that Punter said he looked the most impressive with the ball he's seen for some time in the nets yesterday.

LOL. Ponting was constantly talking up White's net bowling during the Indian tour. Means sweet FA. Still, it's funny to listen to Ponting try and justify the selection of these players.

FFS, how bad has Aus cricket slid if SHYTYT is being talked up AGAIN by Drunky.

Next thing he'll be wanting to rush a recovered TAYPODGE into the squad. FFS.

I haven't seen the pitch but you'd think Ponting might have tried a different strategy and bowled first today.

by skully Mon 26 Jan 2009, 03:04

That is making the assumption that Drunky is capable of thought.

Looks like the boys DGAF today. Throwing the bat.

...be good if they do that for the last 25 overs of the innings as well

by JGK Mon 26 Jan 2009, 05:03

Aust look like throwing away 300 again.

Haddin at 6 surely can't be our best team.

by JGK Mon 26 Jan 2009, 05:10

Haddin has a brain explosion - struggling to make 250 now.

Last time i saw Botha he "bowled" some serious rubbish but looking at the score it seems that here is made to look like Saqlain Mushtaq

by JGK Mon 26 Jan 2009, 05:16

Yeah. The only thing I can think of is that Aust want him to be hte Saf captain for the next world cup.

by skully Mon 26 Jan 2009, 05:26

What an indisciplined heap of sh!t of a batting performance this has been.

FFS, and soon we go to Saffietown?? We are gonna get so murdered.

by skully Mon 26 Jan 2009, 05:27

What.a.bunch.of.soft.c0cks. Rolling Eyes

by JGK Mon 26 Jan 2009, 06:04

Looks like YT (the batsman) and Ponting are arguing over the Powerplay.

YT, quite rightly, wants to take it.

Bring back Hayden.

we're gawn!

7/186 in the 41st after being 2/100 in the 17th.

by Invader Zim Mon 26 Jan 2009, 06:15

Make that 8.

We've fallen a long way in the last 2 years.

Capt Moron takes the power play when we are 8 down.

Happens every game. The sh!thouse middle order has become very consistent at turning a good start into a sh!t total.

And poor ol' Paris cannot take a trick at the moment.

by Invader Zim Mon 26 Jan 2009, 06:31

What a shit summer...even tho we'll probably end up winning more Test and ODIs then we lose Suspect
