[Jay-Z]

Smith was right.....MJ only gets out guys that cant bat.

That's why Amla is trudging off the ground for a second ball quack.....

Did he seriously say that?

Said he only takes wickets against lower order batsmen

 

[ShinbonerBaz]

Looks a good batting pitch

 

[ShinbonerBaz]

WTF is with the marching band music? It's like a college American Football game.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Calling Twinkletoes and a Majak/Eric reference....

I was thinking more of a Spinal Tap reference. If he's all de Kock then shirley his box would have to be like that plastic egg the bass player (Harry Shearer) finds himself fully trapped in.

 

[King Corey]

Broken even so far, maybe bit in front. But would prefer Lyon keeps it in his pants. Just a teeny bit ahead of himself atm going by interviews.

Quinton de Kock = The Breath :stern look

Australian media goes mental hearing Smith got de Kock out during one of his overs.

Can you even do that sort of thing on a cricket pitch?

You can if you're England and just secured the ashes at The Oval.

Rogers for Hughes.

Rogers for Hughes.

Rogers does appear Cook'd, ifyaknowwhatImean.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Can't believe we ******* threw away 2/11

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Rogers out 100%

Can't wait till Pattinson can get back in this side!

 

[ShinbonerBaz]

Dale Steyn possesses a mighty fine stern look.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Hilfy with a hat trick today, that last ball was an absolute ripper with a tonne of swing.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Unless we pull something out of the bowling magic box we're in for a hard chase.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Stumps Day 3. SA in a very strong position, at 369 runs ahead with six wickets in hand and two days remaining. If their captain Smith had balls he'd declare overnight, with rain expected on day 5 and no team in history scoring over 300 in the fourth innings at Port Elizabeth. We shall see.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Rogers run out for 107. Aus have one wicket remaining. We're utterly cactus. We'll be heading into the 3rd test level, which should make for a great test, both literally and figuratively. Steyn's reverse swing today has bamboozled us no end!

Couldn't believe that result, from where we were when I went to sleep. There is always fragility in the batting, but you couldn't have expected it to all fail so spectacularly after the openers' stand. And as usual, the main guy who stood up (even though his innings ended stupidly) was the one most people had in the gun before this innings. I'm glad I'm not a selector.

Have to hand it to Steyn - no better way to answer the constant chatter about Johnson now being the most fearsome bowler in the world.

 

[King Corey]

The search for a reliable batting lineup continues.

Fwiw earlier in the thread I noted Lyon's demenaour and how it might reflect the group's attitude. There was a whiff of getting ahead of themselves.

Well that's sorted. Regroup and demolish these boers now. Need to keep the record intact.

 

[Heaps of fun]

What's going on with Clarke? Golden goose won't lay.

 

[Twinkletoes]

What's going on with Clarke? Golden goose won't lay.

He's all at sea right now.

Couldn't believe that result, from where we were when I went to sleep.

The lesson for me in that is that I should go to bed at a more reasonable hour.
