Davisons day out

[Mr. P]

Brilliant stuff from Canadian international John Davison today against Tassie! Opened the batting, made 59 off 63. Then came out and bowled 8 overs, 5/26!

What a match!

 

[age_master]

yeah he played well, won SA the game

 

[Mr. P]

Also well done to Dighton for a brilliant century. held tassie together until the end.

 

[Cloete]

he played absolutely brilliant especially in his bowling. well done to the Canadian/Australian!

 

[Mr. P]

The irony being that he didnt turn the ball once, the batsmen played for spin!:saint:

 

[Simon]

he just beat them all with drift and flight.
His 59 was the most ordinary half century ive ever seen, he must have middled about half a dozen shots at most!

Meh a half century is still a half century, nomatter how bad it is.:P

Not if you've been dropped on on 3, 4, 6, 9, 11, 14, 18, 22, 27, 28, 31, 34, 37, 45, 46, 47 and 49...

LOL it wasnt quite that bad!

Neil appears to be making a point about dropped catches. However, a situation like that is never likely to arise. 17 dropped catches in an innings...
However, it doesn't matter if he only middled about 12 of his deliveries if he didn't give any chances - if, however, he was dropped off a sitter on 0 and another on 30 it's not much of an innings! Even if every other shot came off the middle.
Just like Tendulkar against Pakistan in WC2003 - almost every shot came off the middle, so the innings was described as "almost faultless", yet one shot went almost straight to Razzaq at mid-off. How does the rest of the innings cover-up the fact that he should have been out on 36 (from memory)?

Not at all. Neil is putting a little groundbait in the water in the hope of attracting some fish.

You see, the thing about fish is that they are predictable.

 

[Craig]

Dighton's 100 was one of the best ING Cup 100's I have seen.

LOL, subtle but funny.

Come on! Taz!!!!

So many responses from certain people are highly predictable.
However, I will attempt to examine the art of subtelty.

I trust that's ironic?

 

[Richard]

I'm not by any means saying it's true of everyone, nor that I regard in a derogatory manner predictable responses - but have you seriously never made a post and thought "I know what so-and-so's going to say about that"?
I've done it many, many a time.

 

[Neil Pickup]

I made one in this thread at 0139 this morning.

What the hell are you on about?! Neil wasnt being serious.:rolleyes: You didnt think he was, did you?

It's not an art you can learn at the drop of a catch.

A hat, I mean. The drop of a hat!

 

[PY]

Or is it the drop of a stat?
