Is this match being televised? I would love to catch the highlights tonight, especially to see the action of Hendricks.

Me thinks we going to be a little under down going into the 1st test...

 

[SinghDude]

Under done not down under.


Should have played the Zimbo's before Aus toured.

Session 1 to the Composite IX.

Problem is Hendricks, is not as good a bat as Kleinveldt, McLaren or Parnell imo. If we were performing well enough and dropping the spinner I would go with Hendricks, he has been performing out of his skin and he gets movement through the air like a king.

But Abbott can hold a bat!

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

And the great Thami goes for 2...

 

[Noob-Noob]

Dominic Hendricks, Reeza Hendricks and Temba Bavuma does not belong there

This would have been a much stronger team.
1.Elgar
2.De Kock
3.Van Zyl
4.Rossouw
5.Khun
6.Ontong
7.R.Mclaren
8.W.Parnel
9.Abbot
10.Hendricks
11.De Lange

 

[Garson007]

Dolphins and Titans weren't eligible.

146/6

Aus are going to demolish us if this is the taste of things to come.

 

[Creag]

Harmer to Tsolekile, OUT, gets a huge stride in and gets his off stump knocked back

TL Tsolekile b Harmer 2 (16m 6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 33.33

If he is there just in case, I fret for the team. But wait. The whole team is playing like second stringers, so it's okay then.

 

[Creag]

Session 1 to the Composite IX.

Regardless of the rest of this session, session 2 comprehensively goes to the Composite IX. Thank goodness the Titans and Dolphins weren't eligible.

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

Some positives - Harmer at least seems to be making a strong case for himself. And Parnell doesn't seem to be spraying it about as he usually does.

 

[Garson007]

We're one batsman short. Can't be playing with 5 bowlers - two of which are ****e and a handicapped wicket keeper. What are the selectors doing? Worst team we've fielded in years.

 

[Creag]

Looking at the glass half full, the Proteas IX have maintained a good run rate

 

[Creag]

A fella picked as a bowler is top scorer in the national side? I would never have put my money on that

 

[Devill]

I fear for the day that AB is sidelined for a series and then one of smith / amla gets injured as well

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

Just a warmup guys, I wouldn't look too much into it. The level of intensity isn't there.

Exacl. I don't read to much into these matches, that's if I read into them at all.
