:laugh:
Barry Richards: "They've got to get it leg-side to Franklin, where he's uncomfortable."

Followed by a massive leg-side six by Franklin.
Haha, terrible call from Barry Richards that; plus IIRC he hit the majority of his sixes against Zimbabwe at this ground just last week on the leg side.

Reminded me of Ian Botham's effort, bemoaning how poor an off-side sweeper was as an option..'he's only there for a short wide long hop'..and very next ball a wide HV is deposited straight down that fielder's throat. Hilarious, and on youtube.

Commentators these days don't actually do any research (or even watch cricket on TV apparently). He based those comments off the 3 offside sixes he had witnessed from Franklin, which is why he ended up looking like an idiot.

Ugh. I want to stick up for CdG against all the criticism, but he's not giving me much reason to.
Yep horrible innings really. I imagine he'll get another gig in Auckland and he fails to make the most of that I struggle to see how hes going to maintain a place in the squad.

Six of a top edge from an offspinner...and then almost bowled. Interesting first over...

Yep I know the one, classic commentary moment - I think it was to dismiss Sanath Jayasuriya and Nasser Hussain in co-commentary was besides himself.

Gee Levi looks dangerous. Mills not opening up ITSTL.

Argh Bracewell doing a Parnell/de Lange and bowling leg side rubbish; great start for SA due to some rather average bowling from Dougie.
