Australia v South Africa

@NTA said in Australia v South Africa:
Commentary earlier was saying the Proteas don't have an analyst as part of their back room. They were shocked. I'm shocked.
Well I'm pleased! They sure as shit don't have a nail remover, as most of the batsmen seem to have feet nailed to the ground!!

200 run partnership from Angry Lesbian and Davey DumDum
-
Smith chucks it away.
Warner gets a double, but he's broken

Warner will get a ton today.
Called it.
Chances not taken and a guy out of form makes hay.
I know my cricket pal. No two ways about it. He made it a double just to prove me more right.
I hope cowboy1982 has a meltdown about it too.
EDIT: Just reading the score and got confused as to why he wasn’t in…..why did he retire ?

It’s really hot. Cramp & exhaustion. He cramped up on his celebration

Jeez Alan Border wouldn’t stand for that.
didn’t he tell the late Dean Jones to harden up when he was battling the heat and exhaustion in India on his way to a double ton to send a Queenslander out to bat ?
Fucken Queenslanders huh @NTA
EDIT, here it is
-
If Green is out, who would Aussie replace him with? A batsman (Harris) and have 6 specialist batsman with Head at 6? Or Neser and move Carey up to 6?
With Starc probably out the bowling attack might be very different

Well I’d say Warners spot is secure for the next five years if he wants it so that problem got solved.

@Duluth said in Australia v South Africa:
He sort of limped to the 200. Almost caught, comical celebration
That's fantastic. Retires hurt because he's a dimwit. Gets a double century making him undroppable for another couple of years of poor results. Australian cricket's Foster in South Africa moment.

@antipodean he was cramping up to shit well before the stupid attempt at a jump. Probably wrecked anyway

Any excuse to have a go at Davey.
It’s the kiwi way.
In any case possibly a bit of a dick….definitely a modern great. I love watching him bat.

Thanks Virgil. Your comments have been noted.
So now Green and Starc injured. Jeez we're going to struggle to get the Saffers out unless that Lyon guy steps up...

When I did the Australians who have played over a hundred tests quiz on fb he was the last one I remembered. Sure we all know the Borders, Tubbys, Waugh x 2, McGrath, Warney etc but he went right under the radar. Pretty handy record. One of 14 Aussies to play that many, NZ has four although I’d say KW and Timmy will get there early 2024…..

Two things can be true. His record speaks for itself. He's also a colossal piston wristed gibbon.
-
Unfasthionable opinion. David Warner is one of the great batsmen of the last 20 years and never gets the credit he deserves. To score a double ton on his 100th Test at the MCG will have been a sweet moment for him after coping a lot of shit in his career.

I’ve done some googling to refresh my memory. There are a few incidents to support you.
I think you’re right but he is fantastic to watch when on form. People just seem quick to jump on and have a go at him and forget that he’s an absolute class player.

You right, he's a great batsman, but definitely right up there real high in the dick catergory.
I can never stop seeing in my mind when he pretended he was going to have a crack at a Saffa who made some reply to about Warner's Mrs after Warner called hin a c***. It was a classic of hold me me back boys or else............... -
And what's this business of Australia knocking the Saffas around with spidercam??
Lol Sandpaper, dodgy refs etc etc and now they get the TV broadcasters to s=assist them?? -

averages 60 in Aus, South Africa and Bangladesh
Averages 26 in England, 24 in India, 26 in the Windies, 25 in Sri Lanka and 13 in NZ. Has never scored a 100 in any of those countries
That does not say "great" to me.
-
@mariner4life It does if you spell 'great'
f.l.a.t. t.r.a.c.k. b.u.l.l.y. -
Head gets to 50 and then gets himself out with a total scrambled brain miscue. Good plan bowling at his body
-
Warner spent the night in a vat of pickle juice and he's back
-
Nice ball from Nortje to get a deserved second wicket in two balls.
-
@NTA said in Australia v South Africa:

Not for long
Nortje two wickets in two balls

Elgar is a shit captain. Nortje takes out two batsmen bringing the tail to the crease, and keeps his bullshit spread field for a hat trick ball.
Two more slips and a silly mid off was the call
-
Interesting call. Hardly a spike.

Similar sorts of numbers to Latham really. And look, most batsmen pad their averages against the shit sides, but agree to be a great you should at least have a respectable record in the tougher conditions.

Anil Kumble: averaged 20 in India and 40 outside India.

Carey is such an enormous upgrade on Paine
(incidentally, where does a bog average cricketer with 35 tests get the unmitigated gall to release a book?)
This Australian side right now looks easily the best in the world. Their batting is full of runs, Lyon is still a canny operator, we've discussed the ridiculous pace depth already, and Green is coming along nicely.
Horribly one-sided summer of cricket.

Haven't you heard? - England are reinventing cricket
Best side ever, anywhere, any time - in the history of the game.

Australia will hammer them.

god if i never heard that term again it would be too soon
-
It does add a lot of spice to the next time they meet
-
Question now is whether we can finish off this game. Deck looks easy. Our bowling stocks are depleted in terms of pace
Lot of overs for Lyon as well as the part timers
-
@NTA said in Australia v South Africa:

I think all the part timers are spinners? Smith, Marnus, Head
Sounds like Starc will attempt to bowl
-
how good is Green going with a broken finger just hanging around for Carey?
-
Why aren't Aussie declaring?? Hell of a lead they have got.
