khawaja green trash

 

[ohh_v]

Just don’t understand the Green hype, has never really consistently impressed.

Is he as good as he’s made out to be?

 

[hellas_johnny]

labaushagne gone now. shame hes started both innings alright but no going on with it

 

[hellas_johnny]

And the collapse continues.

 

[KekiRoo]

Sheesh, in a world of hurt at the moment. 5 for 66, Smith & Webster back in the shed.

Need a big innings from Head & Carey. Pitch is fast becoming near unplayable.

 

[KekiRoo]

6 now.

I'm clearly a jinx.

 

[KekiRoo]

WTF was Cummins thinking? Not the approach to take when six down.

Disagree. He's realized that it's doing heaps and you'll get out anyway. get some runs while you can.

Fair point. Nothing wrong with being aggressive, just thought that attempted shot was more reckless than need be.

 

[KekiRoo]

South Africa no balls could be top scorer in our second innings.

 

[KekiRoo]

218 run lead with 2 wickets in hand at stumps not a bad spot to be in considering the shaky start.

If they can add another 30 - 40 runs tomorrow and keep the Saffas out in the field for as long as possible, we give ourselves a great chance.

Unless they move the game somewhere else for the last innings this is enough runs already

Another 32 be handy.
What is it ? The pitch ? The conditions, Duke ball, crap batting, 1st class bowling ?

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Yes the pitch/ball are creating problems. But once again our batsmen do not deserve our bowlers.

 

[gokangas]

What lead you comfortable with? I want 250 plus but most commentators suggesting we have enough already.

250 would be good but the sun is shining and the pitch may flatten.

 

[gokangas]

250 would be good but the sun is shining and the pitch may flatten.

Someone is due for a decent score and that really only leaves the SA batsmen. Let's hope our bowlers can keep up the standards. They have carried the team so far.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

This World Test Bowlers Championship is fun.

Probably should be in the " bake n bag " section.

 

[Dinkers]

Lyon has had a great game , 0 & 2 with the bat and 0 for 12 with the ball.
I think General B Scott is chairman of selection.

Mate, he's not there for his batting, and how often do spinners get 1st innings bags when the opposition are all out 138?

When do we announce our team to WI?
Would be curious who gets picked to go as the spinner/s

'Oh I know that, was messing, but I doubt he gets a bowl in the second dig either. When he was batting he should have taken off his helmet and banged himself on the head.

Boland on this wicket, oh boy

Kuhnemann has got the 2nd spot wrapped up.
