Agree 100%... This side on view crap should stop, I dont know whose brilliant idea it was but obviously he must be family of the security guards that dont know how cricket and side screen works even tho they work at the stadiums...

Nice performance by SA, bowlers pulled this one through for us...

Yea abe thats why i complained in the thread i made, i saw 2 wickets go down and had no front view on them, very annoying.

Yea pumpkin lets hope the one day does not go the same way :p

I think people did not understand how good our score was and it was not that easy to get the ball away on this pitch by the look of it.

he smashed bracken all over!! not many can claim to hit bracken for 23 in 10overs let alone a single over:eek:

He's very entertaining. He started off looking like he would miss everything. Once he started actually hitting he seemed to bat on the principle that if you hit really moerse hard, even if you get a tiny bit of bat on the ball, you'll reach the boundary! LOL @ him staring wide-eyed to try to spot the ball on the on side while it was flying for 6 on the off side!

His innings was one of the most entertaining things I've witnessed on a cricket pitch in ages. 'Twas downright bloody hilarious. You know how they teach you at a junior level not to lift your head skywards? Well evidently Roelof didn't play much cricket as a youngster. Well deserved selection though imo - he's been knocking on that door for some time and he deserves both his spot and the praise for yesterday's performance...

Well done to SA. Great bowling performance, and Roelf certainly made his presence felt in the batting line-up:D.

seems to be the exact opposite of the of the away tour :eek:

Yea pumpkin lets hope the one day does not go the same way :p

Yeah, I also noticed that:

  • Test series:
    • Away: Aus 1 SA 2
    • Home: Aus 2 SA 1
    • Net: Aus 3 SA 3
  • T20 Series:
    • Away: Aus 2 SA 0
    • Home: Aus 0 SA 2
    • Net: Aus 2 SA 2
  • ODI:
    • Away: Aus 1 SA 4
    • Home: Aus 4 SA 1 ???:eek::(
    • Net: Aus 5 SA 5???

I hope not:D.

Lol, nice to see we can defend a sub-par total.

Well done roelf! Not the most stylish batsmen but like I said, he is good enough to at least keep an eye on with the Pro20 WC coming up.

Again great praise to Johan Botha, never thought much of him before but he has changed my mind in the last 3 months. Damn fine bowling and great Captaincy.

Roloef's innings was AWESOME! hahahahahhahaha. I hosed myself when he tries to hit it over midwicket and it ends up going over point/3rd man for 6 hahahah brilliant. I dont think he deserves the be a permanent yet in the team, too eratic and not "skillfull" enough, i know its not the right word but thats the feeling i get.

+1 devil, botha was great.

The selectors will have a difficult task on their hands selecting the Pro20 WC team considering all the talent we have:).

I agree that he has not done enough yet to play out someone like Morkel but I really think they should take him with to the WC. And I am also sure that in two years time he will be one of the best pro20 players in the world, and I am sure he will also turn into a "fair" ODI player.

Ps He is going to be playing in the IPL after Ray Jennings picked him for his team the, Royal Challengers. Sure Jennings would not pick someone if he did not least see a bit of potential.

Yip very good captain! Hes proved himself again!! Now I wonder what happens when Smithers is fit to play.... hmmmm.

This VD Merwe guy was such a clown, but great entertainment! Nice to have a guy who doesnt care how he looks when hes batting and just slogs!!!
