he will be lucky to have avoided serious chips or breaks to his hip...in 60 years time when abdv is in his 80's he will prolly need that hip replaced and (if the marbles are still rolling around) remember the damage was incurred in a rubbish shorty pyjama game

By by Jeebus, it was still funny.

We can't beat them fair and square but our plan to hospitalise their best players before the tour of South Africa is coming along nicely.

If they're not smart enough to get out of the farqing way, then they deserve all they get.

Interestingly, Albie Morkel's average (in both ODI and rubbish) is much higher when his brother is also playing, than not.

Batting or bowling average?

by OP Tipping Mon 12 Jan 2009, 06:45

I meant batting.

That's what passes for 'interesting' these days? Better off myself then.

by OP Tipping Mon 12 Jan 2009, 06:52

But as it happens...

Albie...

ODI record with Morne

Bat ave: 40.80, Bowl ave: 23.78

without Morne

Bat ave: 11.16, Bowl ave: 29.00

T20I record with Morne

Bat ave: 38.50, Bowl ave: 35.33

without Morne

Bat ave: 12.00, Bowl ave: 21.00

So his bowling in T20Is is the only aspect that is worse when playing with his brother.

Bugger me, that's riveting. Now excuse me for a second... suicide

That was a Goose Marillier special, probably the best I've ever seen.

by Zat Mon 12 Jan 2009, 07:47

Dougy the Goose. What happened to him?

by lardbucket Mon 12 Jan 2009, 08:14

He had paltry returns.

Are you vying to become the new horrie?

by holcs Mon 12 Jan 2009, 18:17

That Warner chap has a fairly decent eye, give him a little tweak on the technique front and he'll be alright I reckon in all forms of the game! Wink

As for Duminy, I'd heard from a few people he was something special, but he just gets better and better.

A classical innings in a T20 game. Was great to see.

by holcs Mon 12 Jan 2009, 18:18

Oh and Tait albeit farking sharp is muck.

If he could bowl a decent length then he'd be quality. Very Happy

Bowling with a pure action I think he'd struggle to compete. I notice he doesn't get near the test team. Who cares about a few T20s and ODIs!

by embee Wed 08 Apr 2009, 09:20

To be fair to the qdb I don't think Botha is up to International standard ....it's just that those useless qunts the NSP have installed as "Batters" keep proving me wrong

Well most would think that as you were talking about his T20 international form, you were the one who was caring.

Batter. Isn't that what you coat fish in before deep frying it?

It's hard to talk about him in a test forum when he's not up to playing at that level.
