Proteas tour to Australia: November 2014

[NeonNinja]

Maxwell out. Caught. Morkel bowled.

47.5
Morkel to Maxwell, OUT, it's full this time and it's worked, taken at mid-off! Maxwell made room, got it full and wanted to clear mid-off with a lofted drive but Faf did well to dive forward and to his left for a good low catch
GJ Maxwell c du Plessis b Morkel 29 (23m 19b 5x4 0x6) SR: 152.63

Atleast Faf can catch

 

[Creag]

Outstanding over that was from Morkel. Just 2 runs and a wicket. Priceless!

 

[NeonNinja]

300 on the dot.
301 for victory. It will be a record on this ground.

At least we've got de Villiers.

I just get the feeling that someone needs to get a ton for us to win this.

Catches win matches... we will be punished for our mistakes.

3.25pm They were 60 after 10 overs and have finished on 300 after 50. The difference is they have scored 104 in the last 10 overs with the help of Bailey, Wade and Maxwell. They were 144 for 5 at one point as Philander rocked them.

Let's hope this does not come back to bite us.

 

[Electric]

Morkel needs to stop bowling so short, it's been years of this and it does not work.

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

What the fark is Behardien doing back? Whose cock has this guy been sucking to get selected all the time?

 

[Creag]

I am struggling to see a positive outcome for the Saffers here

 

[AirWolf]

301 in 45 overs...

 

[ZCFOutkast]

I said it everytime QdK as an opener plus AB that low you can forget about winning the WC right now! He's even hiding behind Farhaan for crying out loud. What kind of nonsense is this? Who allows an avoidable situation where both Farhaan&Fafa are in the middle when you're 2 down trying to chase 300 against Australia.

Best team possible:
Amla, AB(c), Faf, JP, QdK(wk), Farhaan, Philander, Steyn, Morkel, Tsotsobe, Phangiso

Forget Miller against any pressure. He's proven enough that he's not up to it. AUS&NZ need excellent seamers for you r team to succeed and Philander, Steyn, Tsotsobe&Morkel are the best four by a long shot at this level. Why waste time on McLaren. Afterall, Farhaan is already in the XI and brings more with the bat.

 

[AirWolf]

67/3 after 15 overs.

 

[NeonNinja]

77/4. Miller and AB there.

Hoping Miller can prove his critics wrong today

 

[poffle]

Sho playing with fire. Thank god for DRS.

Also hope Miller can step up and show us what he's capable of because he is a really good batsmen.

Catches win matches... we will be punished for our mistakes.

That more or less sums it up. Catches = wickets and is therefore what tries are to rugby and goals are to soccer.

 

[Drifter]

Not looking good!! We threw this one away.

Hoping Miller can prove his critics wrong today

He's coming in at six, 4 wickets down with nothing to lose against a demanding total. I wouldn;t read too much into it. Bottom line is he's failed time&again. Question is would you tolerate this kind of patience if extended to certain players in future?
