What a catch. Love Gibbs.

Botha's bowling action is just vile.

Yup. Hideous. Ajmal's worse tho for my money. It's the modern way...

Re Botha tho, as the testing bods have decided his throwsra exceeds the allotted tolerance limit, theoretically an ump could call him if he attempted one, couldn't he? Be a brave official to do it, but I'd applaud him.

Rather quiet in this thread.

And on Kieswetter, still feel he's not as good an option as Davies but for some reason Davies has never got the chances Kieswetter has...

Amazing conclusion there Scaly. If I may, could you provide your thoughts as to why it's so quiet here right now.

Looks like Morkel took the game away from us.

Smudge · 06-05-2010, 05:59 PM

Personally, I wasn't even up in time for the game, and have come straight to work. Looks like we were outplayed. Well done South Africa.

Could have gone either way (say "T20"), despite the headlines. BTW, what's with cricinfo's " 'Slick' South Africa etc" heading vs England's "commanding victory?" The former sounds the weasel got away with it, whilst the latter was a Lord Nelson rout. I know the rodent innuendo is quite popular, particularly wrt Steyn, but come on....

Not really, 'slick' in that sense is a good term...

OK, that sounds better! Was thinking more along the lines of definition 6....

14.6
Langeveldt to Oram, no run, 136.2 kph, short and angling across Oram, who is happy to shoulder arms to that one

I am not sure NZ had the luxury of allowing batsman sighters at this stage of the game. Made no difference to the end state of the game I note.

GGG · 07-05-2010, 12:56 AM

Pretty much out played by a better team. Would still like to see Mills come in for Southee for the next game.
