Surely Hauritz deserves another go under this new regime?

Or just stick Copeland in as the cheapo.

by Henry Thu 17 Nov 2011, 12:15

Yes, Hauritz deserves another chance. I'm not sure if he's injured at the moment or NSW just aren't picking him.

Aus have a toehold here.

A couple more wickets, and Skully will even be coming out of hiding couch

It's time electronic sight screens were banned.

Why, have they been showing pornography in the interval?

And the weather is beginning to build up.

Prince the cavalier.

S Af going at a healthy rate.

by PeterCS Thu 17 Nov 2011, 13:56

And a century partnership. Slowly turning the game.

by Henry Thu 17 Nov 2011, 14:04

Urgh. So many f*cking delays!

Here's an idea- The Umpires permanently have with them a spare ball that has a similar amount of use to the ball they are actually using. If the ball goes out of shape, then just toss over the replacement and get on with it!

by Henry Thu 17 Nov 2011, 14:15

South Africa throwing it away here. Hideous batting since tea.

by Henry Thu 17 Nov 2011, 14:22

Time for Boucher to do something with the bat or he risks losing his spot to that de Kock guy. Most good teams have figured him out- Don't bowl short, keep bowling it full and straight and he'll be bowled or LBW pretty quickly.

by Henry Thu 17 Nov 2011, 14:26

OMFG. Out. Boucher. Ridiculous from the Saffies.

by The One Thu 17 Nov 2011, 14:27

oh dear. 4 wickets for 4 runs. collapso cricket

by Henry Thu 17 Nov 2011, 14:33

That should be it for Boucher's career, really. Get Quinton de Kock in there.

by Henry Thu 17 Nov 2011, 14:42

Every test the Saffies play against Aus, there seems to be a major middle order collapse at some stage.

by Invader Zim Thu 17 Nov 2011, 14:47

So that's now six bowlers who have out bowled Midge this innings? Righto.

Send him back to the Shield for then summer...he'll take a shite load of wicket for WA.

by Henry Thu 17 Nov 2011, 14:57

So the Saffies ***** with an historic home win against Aus in sight?

by embee Thu 17 Nov 2011, 14:59

Will the Jaapanese enforce the follow on?

by taipan Thu 17 Nov 2011, 15:02

Well that was gash. 4 down when I left the office.

by Henry Thu 17 Nov 2011, 15:12

Perth 2008, Melbourne 2008, Johannesburg 2009, Durban 2009, Cape Town 2011, Johannesburg 2011.

The Saffie middle order really seem to enjoy collapsing in a heap against Australia.

Knicker-sh!tters.

Based on the evidence in Cape Town last week ..... Most likely, yes.
