Cricket: Test Cricket

[mercurial]

I am quite concerned ATM. There is no way in hell Bangla should be getting scores over 200. That is unacceptable.

Yep, and our bowler's career runs per over are mostly above 5, not that great.

Morkel's ODI career is a bit disappointing so far. Both of them.

Amla doing well, but mostly played the minnows.
Kallis still slow...
AB doing nicely.
Duminy making progress

Johan botha is actually bowling well (I still don't rate him).

Morne Morkel is struggeling, Albie is struggling, Kallis is ok, louw isn't going to "bowl the Aussies out" and steyn looks like he is making a great recovery.

But those are the only "real" bowlers we have.

I just think that we need some guys that can bowl teams like Aus, Eng, Ind etc etc out in a oneday game.

Atm with M.Morkel in poor form it feels like Kallis might get a wicket, Botha against the tail, and steyn as our only real weapon against the top order

Just MO.

+1

Not worried about the batting

And yeah Kallis is still slow but with AB, Smith, Albie, Duminey and boucher in the team we don't really need another "masterblaster" we need a "backbone"

Problem is we just came back from a long break and are rusty, whereas AUS have been playing for a while. Probably not the best time to be playing them. We need real practice or risk performing the worst against AUS this time around...

Yeah but we needed the break and don't we play in the Champoins trophy just before we go to aus?

There's a champions trophy? But in any case, we need test practice as well, not just ODI.

+1 on the test practise.... But our test line-up(bowlingwise) looks better with Ntini, nel etcetc back

With 191 still to go - that means they're halfway.

Well gillespie has hit a 200 before, maybe one of the other tail enders from aus phoned him for a couple of tips

Well done to India. 2 Zip. Crikey.

And with this win India move to no.2 spot in rankings.

Look forward to an improved Aussie side come NZ & SA.

 

[mercurial]

SA are very rusty ATM, particularly the bowlers and I fear the worst when we go down under. AUS just came off a heavy defeat, which will probably make them want to destroy us even more than they already do.
