Not looking good at the moment hope get some wickets soon, seems like there is some poor captaincy out there today, I know its only the 23rd over but with Aus cruising why has there been no spin yet just to add some variation and see what happens??? Also see they didn’t go for a review on a caught behind that was turned down, according to the net commentators Hughes got bat and pad on the ball on the way through to Boucher so that should be 1 down now at least, that was on around 92, lets see how costly an error it was, also doesn’t excuse the umpire for missing it in the first place, but thats what reviews are for. Oh well will return later to see lots of wickets down, go SA!
Gee as I was typing that with my slow fingers see they have brought Tahir on…
The Aussies tonking the ball all over the place and the Ama-Blomme seemingly have no answers to curb the flow of runs.
Aussies already over 150 for no loss
Aussies 174 / 0 after 36 overs
… and with that I leave you for a while… to go to Midrand…
Wait, a wicket just fell… Hughes goes for 88
174 / 1
199/3
btw
does anyone know WHY THE HECK THE PREFERED TO BAT FIRST?
Missed all day so far, certainly doesn’t look like we are turning the screws on a ‘weak’ Aussie side!
Clarke goes, caught in the slips by AB off Morkel – goes for 11
211/4
helloooooooo jfk’s ghost!
Howzit Ashley
Tea time, I fear, and time for one for me too!
who this khawaja oke?
khaaaaaaaaaa-wa-ja!!!!
his surname almost sound like something bruce lee wouldve said before he kicked your ass
…
jfk @ 72
hopefully not tea, though!!
#73
yes, i know
..
i’m bo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ored!!
Kwaggggggggggggga!
58.5
Morkel to Hussey, no run, surely that was the keeper’s catch?
…
wtf just happened?
75@ Ashley:I can see that
Wicket Kwaggalagga LBW Steyn, but under review
Must be out, plum to me
…..and is given
khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-wa-ja!!
out you go!!!
Nice come back by SA, about 50 runs for 5 wickets, need to tighten the noose now
Hussey needs to fight through this slump in form, he looks absolutely terrible at the moment, but when on form, he is a class player
Steyn strikes again, this time it’s middle and off, Hussey gone for 20
Wow, these batsmen are lucky, how long can it continue before a wicket?
C’mon artichokes, one more wicket and we are well and truly into the tail
And gone. Haddin, LBW, Tahir, first ball of new spell. Review
Haddins a gonner
i cant make up my mind on which of these sides are the poorer
..
sa for the way they’ve been batting on 2 occasions now
or
aus who cant drive home the advantage
..
aus’ 1st wicket fell on 174
2nd on 192 … jeez at that stage they were cruising … at the moment theres a change that they might not get beyond sa’s score
or
if they do, then certainly not by the margin suggested when both their openers were in!
