CRICKET SA vs England

yes, he's got the talent and the potential, but no one can seriously compare him to McGrath yet. In years to come maybe yes, but not now.

Just like you cannot really compare Steyn to Donald yet, just too early in his career.

McGrath and Donald delivered consistently over many years. Broad has only played six tests. You can argue his skill and potential yes, but thats it.

just my opinion.

Fair point. :)
 
Morkel is not bowling very well atm....

1 good ball 5 shlt balls :(

Steyn is bowling to wide :(

FFS!! :mad:
 
"Seems Smith still thinks he's playing in the IPL changing bowlers every 3 overs. Probably very chuffed with the run rate," offers Angus, a South African emailer.

That hardly proves anything. It could happen to anyone.

Could it? How many other proto-Glenn McGraths has it ever happened to?

I'm not saying that Broad can't get better, but having 6 6s hit off you in a single over puts you in a different class to Glenn McGrath, in my book.

You can not compare them, not because the one is better than the other but because the game has changed so much in the last 2-3 years that mcgrath did not play the majority of his career in these times, but broad will.

Pro 20 has made one days and even to some extent test a diffrent game to what it was 5 years ago.

Not much too compare, in my opinion. The one has proven himself in 15+ year plus career. The other has only played 6 odd tests. What do you wanna compare?

Obviously not directed at Devill's statement, just in general.

The game hasn't changed that much that getting hit for 36 runs in an over is now commonplace.

But yeah, I think WonderBob has it spot on.
 
A wicket! FINALLY!

All that Pro20, action was not so good after all. (for me that is.) Everything seems so slow.

114/1 (41.5overs)
 
errr, make that two wickets. :D

EDIT: KP is now in to bat. I wish I was at home watching. :mad:

85.1 Morkel to Pietersen, FOUR, and all of Lord's rises to appreciate a fantastic hundred! Kevin Pietersen, take a bow! Thats his first hundred in his first match against South Africa, and its up with a cut in front of point, then he celebrates by removing his helmet and kissing it before beaming proudly ... its been an entertaining innings, and so crucial for England

Current partnership 177 runs, 42.1 overs, RR: 4.19 (Bell 63, Pietersen 103)
