| Hahaha chucker, I was thinking of those posters dismissing Tsotsobe after ONE T20 GAME last night. You can't judge a bloke on one performance (just like you can't say he's a star after this one). I wish him all the best in the future. Wasn't Botha reported for chucking last tour here? Not a lot has changed has it! |

| not counting the "oh dear" of course. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| the Aussies were outplayed If you dont take wickets , you dont pressure the opposition batting, and guys like Dumity and Alby Morkel have an opportunity to slay the bowling the Aussie batting was pressured with too many loose shots, and the Aussies struggled for singles whereas the Saffers found them with ease BTW Surely, Botha will have to be cited for throwing soon. His action is atrocious, and if he sees the batsman moving at all, he just pings yorkers at 110 kph in the blockhole. With his action and the ch 9 team drooling all over him ,the Aussies poor batting with so many soft dismissals , and Parnell running down the middle of the pitch all night ( the only reason he ran Warner out was because he was in the danger zone), I got really irritated with the whole match. The match was close , but the standard of cricket being played by the Aussies was very poor BTW who was the poster who claimed Tsotsoba was a park cricketer ?? |

| yes but i just put it into a one liner. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Is that not exactly what I said? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Oh dear... and here i was thinking the saffas were far too good for us... |

| Here is a quick look at the numbers for the ODI series and I think it is clear why we lost! Top 3 batsmen: Marsh - 218 runs @ 43.6 Ponting - 214 runs @ 42.8 D.Hussey - 163 runs @ 32.6 How are we going to make winning totals when the BEST of our batsmen are not exactly making a heap of runs? Now, bowling. Our 3 'strike' bowlers (not including MJ who missed most of the series - but the 2 he did play were terrible!). Hilfenhaus - 7 wickets @ 29.57, econ 5.52 Tait - 3 wickets @ 49, econ 5.16 Bracken - 2 wickets @ 93, econ 4.77 Add to that our second highest wicket taker; Hopes - 5 wickets @ 47.8, econ 4.65 So, on that, a part time allrounder was our best bowler! Hilfenhaus our highest wicket taker and the rest of the side doing F-all to bowl the Saffers out! Bracken was great all series, but didn't take wickets. Hilfy took wickets but went for 5 and a half an over, and Tait isn't fit enough to play more than 3 games in 2 weeks!!! All up, we were out bowled, out batted and out played. There are players in the side that will be more than useful in coming years and a few guys that should probably be thankful for so many injuries as they'd not be playing otherwise. I hope the NZ series is used properly (with an aim to win, but to also rest a few key guys and blood some talented youngsters). |

| Its your thread mip so you decide... just coz i have never embraced the 50 over snore fest should not be a factor. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Do you think its should be tests only Adrian. I mean all it is, is a place for comments during a game. As long as it is AUS V SA who cares !! Unless of course it matters to you then we can always change it I'm not fussed at all. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yes, a great test series it was.. hope the return tests are just as enthralling. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| But well done to the Saffers on a brillant tour. They played entertaining and extremely good cricket. What's more, the spirit between the 2 sides was faultless. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| want to know why Cricket Australia has not got S.Warne at any one of the accademies coaching up those so called youngster spinners that were coming through the ranks? ==== Nev, He has been paid to come and coach the kids around the country, he was aksed to come on board full time but refused. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Good idea mip but make sure you stipulate it's "Test Cricket" only.. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| We may as well leave this thread going as Australi will be in SA soon. Or should we start an SA V AUS one instead ? |

| Enjoyable game last night I thought. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I haven't really watcvhed any Tennis in 10 years or so (the last game I really watched was the Graf-Hingis Final in Paris in 99). I even find lawn bowling more interesting these days. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| No Sven; at home. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| that is the best joke I've heard in a long time. Thank you very much | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Sitting together on a train, traveling through the Swiss Alps... ..., were a Kiwi guy, an Australian bloke, a little old Greek lady, and a young blonde Swiss girl with large breasts. The Train goes into a dark tunnel and a few seconds later there is the sound of a loud slap. When the train emerges from the tunnel, the Kiwi has a bright red hand print on his cheek. No one speaks. The old lady thinks: The Kiwi guy must have groped the blonde in the dark, and she slapped his cheek. The blonde Swiss girl thinks: That Kiwi guy must have tried to grope me in the dark, but missed and fondled the old lady and she slapped his cheek. The Kiwi thinks: The Australian bloke must have groped the blonde in the dark. She tried to slap him but missed and got me instead. The Australian thinks: I can't wait for another tunnel, just so I can smack the Kiwi again. |

| Hopes has got cement feet, there was absolutely no foot work there no wonder he was bowled. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| james hopes just missed a meat pie from botha,lets hope mitch still has his batting form from the tests! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Never mind, guys. Take comfort in the fact that an Australian born girl has reached the Tennis finals. "Laura Robson's talent as a tennis player was evident when she was five years old, according to her mother Kathy. She was born in Australia but moved to Singapore when she was 18 months old and joined in her family's mixed doubles matches "as soon as she could hold a tennis racquet", Mrs Robson said. "By the age of five we could already see signs of a special talent." Robson's skills were nurtured after her mother, father Andrew, sister Emily, 23 and brother Nicholas, 16, moved to London, when Laura was 6½. The family settled in Wimbledon." Now how long has it been since an Australian born girl has reached the finals of the Aussie Open ? |
