Aussie’s 9th wicket have just fallen… wicket goes to Morkel.
Can the Artichokes, I mean Proteas, now wrap the Aussie innings up quickly?
@ grootblousmile:Yay, at last, I was just going to ask you to put up a thread on the cricket, just started posting on the last thread with Ben.
Aussies 284 all out in the First Innings.
Not to bad.
Can the Proteas do a massive Fist Innings?
2 @ Just For Kicks:
It is actually SuperBul’s job to do the Cricket Articles… but seeing as he’s done nothing I thought I would step in and put one up.
@ grootblousmile:They have to, batting on the 4/5 day is going to be a real challenge. They need to amass a big total now
Philander has been sharp, I see.
Like the way he appoaches things… and the movement he gets with the ball.
Let’s see what Biff does… whether he goes out for close to a duck, or bats on..
Don’t like Biff… never have, never will!
Am I just imagining things or is there some serious movement in the air for the ball?
Seems like the weather is “Thick and moggy”, condusive to the bowlers who extract movement in the air with the ball.
5 @ Just For Kicks:
Also thing batting on Day 4 and 5 will be difficult
Mmmm, Biff has already faced 6 balls… not a single run.
Rudolph already on 16 runs off 18 balls.
Oops… Jacques Rudolph departs for 18.
Perler of a ball by Harris!
SA 24 / 1
Osama Bin Amla walks on to replace Rudolph
Lunch Day 2:
SA 49 / 1
Amla out for 3… straight after lunch.
Kallis in to bat.
Kallis out too…. for a Duck
Proteas 49 / 3
Eishhhhhh
AB de Villiers in….
… and he’s fresh from injury, so what is his form like?
15@ grootblousmile:AB really seemed to be struggling with his back yesterday, hope it holds up
Biff chops one on his stumps again… his old failing…
SA 73 / 4
Flok, Ashwell Prince goes for a Duck too
SA 73 / 5
… it’s looking rather kak for SA…
Boucher in to bat.
Kirsten must really be rueing the fact he left India right now, pathetic T20, nearly pathetic ODI’s and again a woeful batting display. Thank God I am at work, and can’t actually see it!
AB out too… a referral by the Aussies again
AB LWB
SA 77 / 6
Ek ken kak as ek kak sien… en hierdie is nie modderwatertjies nie…
Is Watson the next Kallis? I really rate him, great temperament as well.
This is really embarrassing now, just how kak are we?
SA 77 / 7
… but a review pending…
Boucher is out…
At this rate the Verlepte Blomme would be lucky to get to 100 all out
@ grootblousmile:Oh well….guess we don’t have to worry about day 4/5!!!!
27 @ Just For Kicks:
Hehehe
Guess not…
Philander out…
SA 81 / 8
Oh lord, another one gone
