2008/09 SA tour to AUS - ODIs and Twenty20s

[fonefreak]

They require 63 of 32 balls, we will nail them

 

[mercurial]

Parnell is bowling CRAP!

 

[fonefreak]

Damn! we almost had a wicket now

 

[DJ...]

Big collission between Albie and Van Jaarsveld - Albie injured. Well at least Van Jaarsveld can now say that he contributed while on this tour in some way...

 

[Guest 20221009]

It absolutely pains me to say this (considering my previous comments on him), but Botha has had a terrific ODI series. He has bowled and captained pretty damn well...

Keewwdose Johan Botha...

I also had to eat a big bowl of humble pie. Johan has been really good..we need another wicket. Get Hiddin oops Haddin out and we home free.

People are getting all nervous in the office and starting to chew their nails

[fonefreak]

Yes another wicket down, go boyz

 

[DJ...]

Johnson out!!! Comical wicket that, but a great 4th wicket for Tsosobe - caught and bowled...

bwahaha sheep molesters hehe

 

[AirWolf]

46.2 Tsotsobe to Johnson, OUT, well now, a bit of confusion and Tsotsobe has four on debut! Clever bowling, fires in a yorker on leg stump, Johnson closes the face early and the ball pops back to Tsotsobe, who collects it and then feigns a throw back to Johnson, suddenly from backward point Gibbs appeals and gets Tsotsobe interested, it is referred, and yes indeed Johnson scooped a clean catch back to the bowler
MG Johnson c & b Tsotsobe 5 (18m 9b 0x4 0x6) SR: 55.55

 

[sox63]

Hope he can get a fiver! Only Alan Donald has managed one on debut for SA.

 

[fonefreak]

another wicket goes...yay

 

[DJ...]

Parnell gets his first wicket!!! Caught by his debutant partner Tsosobe. Haddin gone!!!

How on earth Parnell missed the run out from point blank range though is beyond me. A blind, Parkinson's suffer could have hit the wickets from 1 metre away...

 

[Guest 20221009]

Our boys are on fire..I mean are the fire..

 

[AirWolf]

47.5 Parnell to Haddin, OUT, maiden wicket for Parnell, pitches in on a length and Haddin chips the ball up in the air, Tsotsobe runs after it from short fine leg and holds on near the ropes and that is wicket number nine for South Africa
BJ Haddin c Tsotsobe b Parnell 63 (92m 50b 5x4 1x6) SR: 126.00

Well done to our boys, the new #1

I've doubted Botha after the T20 too, but he's come good. Still has a "punch me" face though

And a "don't drop the soap in the changeroom" voice as well...
