Just shit work.

 

[grizzlym]

Yep. With all due respect, when guys like Quiney and Cowan (even though he's managed to hang on) are in your top three, you've got huge talent issues at the top of the order.

I don't imagine there's all that much Afrikaans love poetry.

Ek dra 'n paar in die gedrukte media, maar hoof sou verbied my.

Warner is nie 'n aanvangskolwer se poephol, Ponting ongelukkig is in sy skemer jaar, kan Quiney vergewe word omdat dit sy eerste toets en M Clarke is dood vir my.

You may be enjoying yourself, but I can't see the point in posting if most people can't understand it.

To be fair, Cowan is doing well. Quiney should be embarrased.

Ok, I'm aroused.

Along with two guys 34+ in the middle order!

The sad part is, I actually prefer Quiney over Warner as a test batsman!

google translate is your friend copy paste easy

it's a cerebral protest that custodianship for the duty of care to australian cricket has been supplanted by grasping for the dollar.

He is. But if he's our best opener, well, we've got talent issues.

I just tried putting that into google translate too!

Great to see Cowan nearing the ton.Keep proving me wrong, son, loving it.

Clarke has ridden his luck, but just kept at it. He's quite the batsman now.

 

[Spanish Sahara]

Clarke is our best batsman by a mile thesedays

Great stuff by Cowan

Makes what Quiney did last night look even more ridiculous.

Really? I reckon Quiney was well within his rights to clip that ball. It was a dead set shocking ball and lucky to get a wicket. Rob was stiff that he got all of it, and the fielder didn't have to move to an inch take it. 5 metres either side and it was 6.

99 times out of 100 and it would have either been 6(no fielder) or a 4(not off the middle)

Agreed. I had already put it down as a boundary and was shocked to find he was walking back to the pavilion.

Thats what you get for trying to watch the cricket and a dvd a the same time....

You still have to hit the ball properly, and Quiney failed. Poor shot.

He certainly hit it properly, it was out of the middle and going for 6...

 

[Spanish Sahara]

F*ck off Ian Healy.

You suck

Australia declare 200 behind? Yeah ok Ian

 

[Henry Jr]

The best time for batting is right now... Its a shame we got rained out on day 2... could have been a cracker otherwise.

EDIT: I bet the Saffers wished they played the leggie now on this road.

 

[Henry Jr]

Nice hundred by Clarke albeit a bit chancy at times.

I wonder now if go hawks!!! will give recognition that Clarke is indeed a quality batsman after shit canning him for years!

Was just thinking the same thing

Also no joy Saffers putting down Cowan

 

[grizzlym]

Good knock by Cowan. Reckon anyone will have a quiet word about his backing up? Or do you just put it down to one of those freaky things that can happen? Impressive innings nonetheless.

He's been backing up way too far, way too often. They made mention of it on the radio, i believe, well before he went out.

 

[Henry Jr]

That's true. Nasty way to learn a lesson but hopefully one he learns.

Would have thought a 15 year old would understand what to do let alone a 30 year old.

Mind you, I can see Simon_Nesbit stooping to levels such as that to take my wicket.

An hour to stumps and he's batting like the opening ten overs of a 50 over game. He can't be stiff hitting a shit ball down a fielders throat; just dumb.

I disagree. It's his first test, he was feeling comfortable, let him play the way he feels best. He got picked on the runs he had made, and he did that by playing his way. It wasn;t like he holed out with 3 overs the play, and hour before stumps is a lot of cricket to play.

Great day today though. Cowan, outstanding work, Clarkey was streaky at times but geez he's playing well and Nice to see the Huss get some runs. Much needed

Wonder if we can push for a win tomorrow? Quick runs, 200 lead, leaving a couple of sessions to bowl them out

 

[Hate]

I didn't get to see any of this match, but saw the news about Clarke getting a double ton. Nothing makes me more happier than knowing Clarke is batting great, hahaha. Like said above, good to see some runs on the board.
