@Chris-B I watched that Proteas v India match and I think the conditions plus a combination of inspiration from the birthday boy had more to do with things.
The wicket deteriorated and the ball was hardly coming on to the bat in that second innings.
Fielding was the difference in the end. Aussie got about 20 runs too many.
Yep Mitchell's dropped catch, Sodhi's blunder that's what cost us
Maxwell dropped Ravindra cold.
One of our outfielders completely failed to stop a boundary hit right to them.
Marnus stepped onto the rope taking a catch.
We bowled too many wides - partly due to pressure - and probably pulled up about 20 runs short on our innings.
@Stag I reckon SBW is a good one to have for interviews (with a producer in his ear) as players will open up to him, but commentary or punditry not really his bag.
Football (of the soccer variety) has us beat here. Need a medic? You're off until the next break in play unless you were on the receiving end of a foul deemed worthy of a yellow card.
It's ironic isn't it. We give them shit about diving, but then we have players constantly pretending to be injured to get rest.
It's simulation, should be card worthy. Maybe a new pink card and 10 minutes off the field?
