Poor AB. But by Christ, Tait's action did not look good AT ALL with that ball.

Yeah that ball looks a bit dodgy seeing the replay. But who knows any more *shrugs*

Nope, there's been masses of analysis done on it and it's an optical illusion caused by the way the arm rotates thru delivery (Vic Orthodox has the technical term for it)

Anyway, he's the fastest bowler in the world by the length of a street and very possibly in history

The slow-mo from behind the stumps looked rough as a bag of spanners, it must be said. But we live in a strange world. Serious heat tho, yes.

Worth it for ABdeV's dismissal, anyway. Very, very funny when it's not you that's worn one.

Hussey minor's off-spin seems pretty ok it must be said. Coupla wides, but genuinely turns it. Always dangerous drawing conclusions from 2020, but reckon he might be able to do a job in tests as a fill-in anyway.

Looks like a badly-drawn verison of his elder bro tho; like someone left Michael too near the radiator and his face had melted a bit.

 

[Jono]

Haha that was funny. Wonder whether White copped **** considering he's a Victorian.

 

[_Ed_]

Wow!

 

[duffer]

**** me dead!

 

[sirdj]

Duminy............whatta shot

 

[Jono]

Haha thats brilliant!

 

[pup11]

Jeez, is there anything this bloke Duminy can't do?

 

[Tim]

Shuper shot that.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ha, wow. That's a shot. Takes some testicles to do that to a bowler of Tait's pace. Talent too, obv. Love watching Duminy, looks all class.

 

[_Ed_]

Oh dear.

 

[duffer]

These two teeing off now. Something has to gve sooner of later.

EDIT: Yep

That would have been a big six on any NZ ground.

That would have been a big six on any NZ ground.

Ha, yeah. England's too. Shows what a strong lad Warner must be.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Bollox. Duminy goes on the reverse sweep. That really is yer lot.

 

[pup11]

Hilfenhaus is bowling a lot quicker then what i have seen him bowl in the ranger cup games, and getting the ball to swing too.

No surprises to see South Africa fall short, they just don’t have the batting. Wonderful knock by JP though, could have been selfish and just played out for his ton considering the situation. Hashim should come in for Kallis at the Gabba. Jacques should just concentrate on getting 12 more test runs and trying to prolong his test career. I don't see how he and the likes of Ntini and Gibbs can survive a poor series here.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Tait cleans it up. Comprehensive stuff.

Fair play to Oz, something to be said for the powers of youth it seems.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ha, Udal in Sky's studio up here came out with "awkward" as the adjective for Tait's action. Hmm.

 

[TT Boy]

Extras was South Africa's second leading run scorer.

 

[Redbacks]

great knock from Duminy!

A good momentum swing for Australia.
