Punter puts Duminy under the pump.

He also believes that SA is favourite and things could turn pear-shaped for them quickly if the Aussies get off to a good start when expectations are so high in their homeland.

Spanky today said the series might be quite close as pace bowling is our strength and the pitches will probably be conducive to it. He tips Australia will be hard to be in the republic. AB has also tipped us. Interesting that people seem to becoming more optimistic. Maybe the fact that Hayden will no longer be a liability etc.

I noticed that Duminy has failed in his last two innings for the snakes.

BTW Steyn caught a crocodile the other day.

Duminy doubts

<LI class=liSideBarNoBlt>The psychological skirmishes have well and truly commenced. JP Duminy may have dominated Australia to the tune of 246 runs at 61.50 over his first three Tests, but Ricky Ponting hinted that his bowlers had devised a new set of plans aimed at breaking down the free-flowing left-hander. <LI class=liSideBarNoBlt>"He was probably the pick of their batsmen for the entire summer and we've had a good opportunity to look at him for a long period of time," Ponting said. "We've got some things up our sleeve which we will hopefully be able to execute well if we get the opportunity. We'll see how he reacts and responds to what he has in store. "The thing I am most surprised about now is that Ashwell Prince is not in their squad. He was vice-captain on the Australian tour and Duminy came in and took his place. Now Prince can't get back into their squad. That would indicate just how highly they regard JP Duminy, and he certainly didn't put a foot wrong in any game he played here."

"good opportunity to look at him for a long period of time"

ROFL, ain't that the truth.

Can Drunky get any sillier?

Yep, he failed in a couple of T20 games.

Drop him, I say.

We're screwed even if the Drunk is even half right. Ashwell Prince is waiting in the wings to kick our @rse and take his revenge on us for being "dropped" for Juminy Cricket.

Punter in stating the obvious Shocker.

The shock is that he recognised the obvious.

I wonder if Percy Chapman said this after the 1930 series.

"Well, the good news is we've managed to have a jolly good look at that Bradman bloke's technique. In fact we've spent more hours watching him bat than most of us spent at school. We should be fkn experts on him by now."

I suppose you have to start somewhere. Ponting leaves the obvious stating until 2009 shocker.
