Spot the odd one out

I win!

Nice to have a spinner that takes wickets.

 

[JK8]

Amla tends to make good scores on pitches that are flat.
On greener ones, he tends to not do that.

So what wickets do we have here? He did well here last season.

How do you know which is a flat wicket and which is not?
He has

100 - CT
50 - Jhb
50 -CT
50 -Centurion
Hes from Durban so he good in Durban even if his stats dont show it.
40 - Colombo - SL

Besides its only 13 matches.... cant really judge the guys playing abilities and where he would be good or not. He also saved SA twice last season if I remember correctly. Im sure he prefers a flat wicket most batsmen do have a type of wicket that they prefer playing on.

Everyones trying to pigeon hole the guy, the way he plays the way he looks... He is doing well for the test side, leave him be.

Besides he couple with Prince and Kallis are the Proteas best test batsmen!

I was at newlands for 2 of them.
Centurion is always flat.
I`m ok with his looks / religion/ race / whatever, but don`t think his technique is good enough.

Granted I haven`t seen his innings on tv this time.
Maybe he`s worked on it.

1st Test Stumps Day3
South Africa 450 & 76/3 (Kallis 18*, Prince 11*, Abdur Rehman 2/25)
Pakistan 291 (S Malik 73, Harris 5/73)

SA leads by 235.

Just another 180 we should win this one.

 

[Ou grote]

And another 100 to Kallis.
2 in a match, not a double hundred, but still good.

 

[feo]

Yeah, he probably went out there with a point to prove about the whole Twenty 20 thing. Well done to him.

Hell, that's exactly what my supervisor said

Nah, just kidding.

1st Test Day 4 Stumps
South Africa 450 & 264/7d(Kallis 100*)
Pakistan 291 & 146/3(Y Khan 93*)

Pakistan need 278 to win

 

[rendan]

It would be sad if we lose this game. If younis doesnt get out for below 150, it looks like a strong possibility. He is looking aggresive and in a dominant mood taking the attack straight to SA. Younis + shoiab need to get out fairly cheaply tomorrow for us to win this...Or else, curtains..

Would be sad.
But very, very rare for a side to get 400 in the 4th innings.

South Africa 450 & 264/7d
Pakistan 291 & 263 (Y Khan 126, Steyn 5/56)

South Africa won by 160 runs

Good results at least it gives Biff something to brag about as he can't lose the series from here.

Concerns: 1. Long wagging tail (without Pollock)
2. Ntini's performance in this test (hopefully he comes right in 2nd Test)

 

[AirWolf]

Well done SA

 

[Boodles]

Ntini also must be counting down his days... Poor polly, feel abit sorry for him getting dropped.

A rest seems to have done Kallis some good.

 

[dominic]

a guy came into the place where i was having lunch and sat down in front of the supersport highlights rerun...."fsck" he says this is going to be a draw....


took about 5 minutes before i had to break it to him that SA had put it away a couple of hours before
