***Official*** Australia in South Africa

[Furball]

Hmm.

Inclined to agree with D'Oherty there, if not sliding down then far more marginal that Hawkeye suggested.

Good review tho, I suppose.

Nah, was plumb out for my money. My finger would've been straight up, straightened quite appreciably.

 

[Howe_zat]

Looked pretty much plumb to me, though I thought it was hitting leg rather than middle and leg.

Umpire must've thought he'd got bat on it - one of those where we really didn't need Hawkeye, or any tech really.

 

[Furball]

Haha, what a drop.

 

[Howe_zat]

Well I know I was slagging Marsh's bowling off earlier but you have to feel for him there. Got Botha twice in an over and he's still there..

 

[Furball]

Just me, or could D'Oherty quite easily be Paul Harris the way he skips into the crease?

we forgive you.

Just need to get through 3 more overs to have an official result in this game (4 wickets before then would be better of course).

 

[BoyBrumby]

That's a stiff chance made to look easy by Hussey there. Can't have been easy coming out of the lights.

Johnson bowls a bouncer first up to Steyn.

The contest has started already between the two great fast bowlers!

Erm

Really?

Johnson bowls a bouncer first up to Steyn.

Erm

Really?

I think he means Cummins and Steyn.

 

[Redbacks]

Johnson probably the better ODI bowler based on career stats so far

 

[BoyBrumby]

Enjoy Botha's batting a lot more than his quote-unquote "bowling". Clean striker.

 

[Redbacks]

Certainly throwing up a few surprises for Clarke

 

[Furball]

No "probably" about it, Steyn's a pretty crap ODI bowler.

 

[Furball]

I don't, the more success he has with the bat the more we have to see his pitching, er I mean bowling.

As I type he stands on his stumps. Excellent.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Surreal dismissal.

 

[Neil Pickup]

That dismissal sums this innings up, really, doesn't it?

 

[Furball]

Surreal dismissal.

Haddin's laughter from behind the stumps was quite funny as the camera panned towards the fielding.

 

[Howe_zat]

That dismissal sums this innings up, really, doesn't it?

Just what I was about to post.

If we're feeling generous, I suppose we can give Cummins some credit for pushing him so far back.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Well, at least they haven't choked, eh?

Cummins List A wickets:

For Australia - 3
For New South Wales - 0

Nasty bouncer at Tsotsobe there.
