Agreed.

A once every 50 years bowler.

Funky Miller did ok for a late blossomer.

Yeah he did ok but he was hardly a true great.

He was probably the greatest ever bowler to have blue hair, though.....

Woody just jizzed in his pants.

Yeah he did ok but he was hardly a true great.

If he'd moved to Tassie a little sooner it might have been different. Miller was a journeyman bowler until he moved to Tasmania late in his career & then his career really took off, as it has done for so many other players.

I seem to remember him doing well against the likes of the Windies and New Zealand, but the Indians got the better of him in 2001. There was a feeling that that series found him a little out of his depth. Not just with his bowling, but also fitness-wise, and i'm not sure he played for Aus again after that.

MJ will probably mop up the tail now, just watch...

3 quick wickets for Aus this morning. Cummins nabbed ABdV, Drunky ran out Prince, and Midge has just jagged Amla.

Midge 23 overs 1-91
Cummins 22 overs 3-54.

As per usual, the Saffies are sh*tting themselves.

Right up there with the Miami Heat and the All Blacks pre 2011 when it comes to handling a little bit of the blow torch.

Yarps effectively 7-236 as Elmer removes the Bouch.

Aust has had the worse of the luck with the reviews in this series.

Is there any reason why Clarke hasn't taken the new ball?

Because they've had a lot of success with the old ball this morning?

Hussey on. Maybe Clarke's worried about the over rate.

These two have now put on 20 while we've faffed about taking the new ball.

new captain is as clueless as the old captain

Partnership now 36. My God we suck.

when was the last time we bowled decently to tailenders?

This partnership is making it tougher for the Aussies. Steyn gets a life - dropped by the captain.

Siddle bowling well atm.

Another interesting session, this time won by the Aussies,

Looks like Boucher is in the same parlous position as Haddit.

Now Cummins is on a hat-trick. That last half hour off the field certainly helped him.

Well, we have a tail as long as an anaconda's... Surprising bump near the end.

Tahir certainly looks a batting bunny. Hardly surprising that after a partnership we have more drama.
