King Kong Warner going apeshit.

Well, slow defecation, for him. 150 @ 80 or so.

"House" also laying waste, 76* @ faster than Warner.

Hendricks didn't get Henriques, sadly.

But Tony Abbott has had some success.

Good to see Tiny Tim back in the frame.

Is he tall? How did he do against Pakistan?

89.4
de Lange to Warner, OUT
DA Warner b de Lange 193 (315m 226b 29x4 1x6) SR: 85.39

have to see how South Africa A bat on the wicket before drawing conclusions about Warner's knock. Must be flat though, since Maxwell scored a ton also

we are so screwed....I blame nigel for SA putting down this autobahn and then compounding this by winning the toss and sending us in

Aye, stoopid Yarps playing further into the Poms hands. So where will Boof slot TCS in? 3 - and shift Con back down to 6? A top 4 of Twat, Buck, TCS and Con leaves me very, very cold.

Seems odd that so many failed but the 2 "T20 specialists" thrived.

aye...geebers....maybe we shd organise demos against the Tower of BBL

Finch got a 50 as well

The Reinventor was on the wireless this morning trying to talk up the quality of the opposition. He said one of the bowlers was the Saffie Patrick Cummins, but I am not sure how dangerous a bowler can be from the grandstand

Cricinfo article reinventing comparing Cummins to de Lange

by Henry Thu 25 Jul 2013, 04:21

According to Taips the pitch is a road, and for the majority of this Saffie A side, it's their first competitive game of cricket for 3-4 months. In particular de Lange, who has hardly played any competitive cricket in the last year.

If you bowl badly to Warner he might punish you, but if you bowl as you intend to bowl to him, he should struggle most of the time.

by skully Thu 25 Jul 2013, 04:45

Aye, sounds like seam and conditions were made the most of by the bowlers early then the Tweeting Farkwit entered the fray as the road was starting to roadify. He and Yoody then made hay.

Batting on - why?

by Henry Thu 25 Jul 2013, 08:54

When was the last time an Aussie side had the luxury of being able to choose if they bat on or not? Enjoy it....

by lardbucket Thu 25 Jul 2013, 08:55

Well, that must be the only reason.

by Big Dog Thu 25 Jul 2013, 08:55

If Timmeh can make some runs maybe he can replace Haddit.

Hopefully, Paine can make some runs & we can give Haddin the boot for good.

by Henry Thu 25 Jul 2013, 08:56

If Aus A win this match they should swap the whole team around with the one that's in England.

Great minds Wally. Laughing

by lardbucket Thu 25 Jul 2013, 08:57

If Paine can keep we can ditch Haddin for good. If we'd had a decent keeper in the second test, Root would not have made 180.

by Henry Thu 25 Jul 2013, 08:58

Thrice!

by Henry Thu 25 Jul 2013, 09:00

Anyway, they didn't pick Haddin for his keeping. They picked him because they didn't think Clarke could manage this team on his own.

They could amputate both his arms and hed still be a better keeper than Haddin
