Barry Richards complaining about the leg-side wide interpretation which has been in place since time immemorial. WAC.

Ian Chappell still goes on about it as well.

These blokes are going on and on about what a good pitch this is, but so far we've seen balls repeatedly seaming miles and bounce miles over the keeper's head at Tsotsobe's 130kph pace. Still waiting for this belting batting track to appear.

I don't necessarily disagree with them, just that Richards acted as though he'd never seen it before and SA were somehow hard done by.

Indeed. As much as I like his commentary, the old fellas eyes are definitely waning

Mike5181 · 24-02-2012, 06:21 PM

Real test for these two.

Yeah, I knew what you meant first up.

Barry is a touch biased in his commentary. hehe

Mike5181 · 24-02-2012, 06:22 PM

Steyn is into the attack. Oh god.

Zinzan · 24-02-2012, 06:23 PM

What a ripper first up from Steyn

Mike5181 · 24-02-2012, 06:23 PM

Holy ****. Did you see that first ball?

Ha, last time he came to NZ he was SA's best and least biased commentator by far (and better than most or all of ours too)

Mike5181 · 24-02-2012, 06:23 PM

Rob Nicol! Pretty good shot that.

Zinzan · 24-02-2012, 06:23 PM

Glorious 'frontfootpunch'

_Ed_ · 24-02-2012, 06:24 PM

Wonderful first ball from Steyn. But nice drive for four by Nicol next ball.
