FIASCO!!

All out for 60 today! I came it a five hung around for about five overs before nicking one to first slip. Out for five. You wouldn't see that much 'swing' at S.K Warne's place on a Saturday night.

They made 135 so we had ten overs to see out the day. 2/48 at stumps, i admit I didn't want to bat again. But **** me last ball of the ninth a wicket and ol NN strides to the crease.

Non strikers end which as I explained to the guy on 30 this is where I'm ****ing staying , don't hit, don't run etc.

Fourth ball he's off for a single ( ****) and I've two ****ing balls til stumps!! The big quick from Afghanistan with his flared nostrils and ridiculously long run up.....

Down leg NN glances down to third man for a single- you'd think I'd made a ton.


I ****ing hate cricket

Shame that session had to end - Lyon had them fizzing off the pitch. Hoping for a good follow up in the morning to close SA's second innings, then a strong batting performance to finish with a win.

 

[Vaple]

Never really rated Lyon but he was a fierce mother****er towards the end there.

 

[Zondor]

About time Lyons managed to actually spin the ball. :stern look

Good stuff by the team to review the not out call.

Yep, looked plum to the naked eye, not sure what the umpire was thinking.

It was because the same umpire got one wrong earlier with the ball pitching outside leg.

Needs to go back to the locals then.

GOT HIM! STARC!!

PHILANDER GONE! Vernon Philander LBW to Mitchell Starc for 17,

First Faf. Now Cook. We like letting a batsman stay in and watch his team collapse around him.

Really looking for Starc to run through the last 2 tailenders here.

Ugly player too.

 

[archereleven]

Starc V tailenders = scatter gun

 

[giantroo]

Rabada gone! Good catch from Wade.

STARC GOES THROUGH COOK!!

 

[Firestarter]

We let Cook get his century but now we need 127 runs.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Please win please win please win please win

 

[archereleven]

Get through the new ball and 127 should be a run of the mill chase

 

[giantroo]

Please do not collapse!!

 

[gokangas]

Please do not collapse!!

It's your fault - why say that? Grrrrrrrrrr.

Posted after Khawaja was gone.

 

[archereleven]

I like the look of Renshaw, reckon he'll be a good opener.

Has played and missed a shit load but doesnt look to faze him to much.
