Rhino Richards 1,467 Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 Steyn is a very good bowler. And Clarke's innings is a very important one for the team and it was good to see him score an innings like that (not out, mind you) when the team requires one to stand up. The Australian bowlers will have some work to do if we're to win this Test. Agree. i have only heard the days wrap on a couple of radio stations. The pitch seemed lively early. Great knock by Pup. I also thought of the Hughes knock against the Windies. If the planets line then Mitch Johnson could bowl hand grenades but we do know that he could easily bomb. Fascinating Quote

Rhino Richards 1,467 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 He had an outstanding series last time in South Africa with some truly brutal spells of bowling that were the equal of Steyn on occassions. Also hit a century on the tour. Has largely disappointed since. Quote

Rogue 585 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 What a great innings by Clarke. Not only did he score 150, but he did it quickly too. Quote
Rhino Richards 1,467 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Great knock by Clarke. Listening to the commentary that 284 is not a bad position given the toss. Johnson 2 overs for 14......tick tick bomb! Early days but I hope he finds his mojo in his next spell. Quote
Rhino Richards 1,467 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 SA 1 for 46 off 11.. not good but Harris once again the pick of the Australian bowlers. Quote
Macca 17,127 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Gee that's a bonus wicket - Amla out - beauty ! If we can restrict them to 300 - 320 we're right in this . Quote
45HG 1,559 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 2 reviews in 5 balls both outs for Watson. Kallis out is huge. Quote
Macca 17,127 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) Watto !! How good is this ? 4 fa 74 ! Edited November 10, 2011 by Nuggets Quote
H_T 3,049 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Watto !! How good is this ? 4 fa 74 ! 6/77 ! Watson on fire and now Harris joins in for an important lbw on De Villiers out for just 8 runs. What looked worrying at lunch with the wicket, good bowling is just what the doctor ordered for Australia ! Quote

What looked worrying at lunch with the wicket, good bowling is just what the doctor ordered for Australia ! We're well on top now - The Aussies look focused and Watson is bowling really well . Quote
Macca 17,127 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) Everything is going our way - enjoying this ! What did I say ? 300 - 320 ! What was I thinking ? 8 - 83 Edited November 10, 2011 by Nuggets Quote
Macca 17,127 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 How good is this!! It's been amazing to watch this unfold - Aussies look a different team to last summer's ashes series . Quote
H_T 3,049 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 It's been amazing to watch this unfold - Aussies look a different team to last summer's ashes series . Watson bowling stump to stump and consistently, has paid dividends. MJ could do well to take a leaf out of Watson's book. Quote
H_T 3,049 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) 96 and out. Sth Africa's second lowest score since re-admission. Aussies lead on first innings by 188 . Inside an hour Sth Africa lost 9 wickets ! Edited November 10, 2011 by H_T Wrong lead Quote
Macca 17,127 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Watson bowling stump to stump and consistently, has paid dividends. MJ could do well to take a leaf out of Watson's book. Yeah good point H T re Johnno All out - 96 ! Remarkable . Quote

Sir Why You Little 37,450 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 9/47 since lunch..wow!! Quote
Sir Why You Little 37,450 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Wow! Test cricket, hey chaps? spot on. Death to 20/20 Quote
Whispering_Jack 31,365 Posted November 10, 2011 Author Posted November 10, 2011 My worst nightmare. We had visitors tonight - the type who hang around, well and truly overstay their welcome and aren't the least bit interested in the cricket. Arrived just after Clark was last man out in Australia's first innings and left when the second dig was about to start. I didn't even tape the SA innings. Damn. Quote
Sir Why You Little 37,450 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Watson was actually not out!! Should have referred. What a game. Quote
H_T 3,049 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) This would be a handy time for Phil Hughes to dig in at the crease today. edit: As I hit the post button, they dropped him in slips. I think I'll stop mozzing him now ! Edited November 10, 2011 by H_T Quote
