Klinger is in front of nobody. Maybe Michael Hill.
He's in front of Usman. If you take the view that part of the reason Usman got dropped was because he has a terrible front foot game that won't lead to constant success at test level, he's done nothing to disprove that lately, his innings in the current shield match a perfect example of that. 54 off 134. Decent enough. But he scored 10 boundaries You could say it's 14 off 124. He went over a hour this morning without scoring a single, mainly because Copeland was keeping it fullish at around off-stump and Usman wouldn't go forward. And with three slips in place he had the gaps to pick. He got into his usual trench. The first ball Reardon faced off Copeland, he took a big stride forward and tapped it to the gap at extra cover. That would have been more impressive to the selectors than the whole of Usman's innings.

As long as Usman can't play off the front foot, Klinger's in front of him.

Klinger wont get a game for Aus. No way.

Well done to Dools. Hopefully Painey gets a solid score to.

What ever happened to Peter Forrest? Injured?

Would have thought they would declare after lunch, it's a three day game yes?
Yeah, it is. Get our tearaway pace attack into the game! :p

E: Poor Tahir's going to have a sore shoulder. 40 overs, wow. Even Amla is getting a trundle now, appeal in his first over.

Keep batting. **** the Safa's, no need to let them get their eye in against our shit attack. Paine could even knock up #2 if they keep going, just to piss a few of you off!

Tim Paine is really looking at taking over from Wade this summer. Shouldn't be hard if he continues this form given Wade is Haddin reincarnate.

i'd be over the moon tbh. all these bandwagoners jumping on the #1 ton stat. that's so last year.
Is this an official FC game seeing as how it's only 3 days?

I jumped on it early, and it's a fair criticism for somebody of his obvious talent.
