Oak Hill looks to be turning into a Sitzkrieg. Bummer.

Can say that again, two days lost due to wet outfield.

Good news though...

Cricket Ireland‏@Irelandcricket
Good news from here at Oakhill as the sun is creeping through the clouds, no overnight rain for once means a start on time at 11am! #coybig

Why do we even pay to fly these guys over, when we can get the ECB to assemble an 11-player SA "A" side from county cricket?

It looks like an Ireland A team tbh, not surprisingly most of the best Ireland players are busy with their counties this week. A few Saffers in the home team too. Not a bad effort to keep the visitors to 317-8 (100 for Kuhn), but with so much time lost the draw seems inevitable.

Great statement by Kuhn. He knows that with good performances he'll get the job.

SeamUp · 09-08-2012, 06:15 AM

True ^ This pitch is probably a pudding as well with all the rain thats been there & not a major ground.

Latest is Ireland are 111/6

Parnell has got 4 wickets this morning.

Ireland not doing their argument for future Test status much good if they're getting knocked over by Parnell.

It's nowhere close to a full strength lineup. And to be fair he has got hammered in between taking wickets.

Quaggas · 09-08-2012, 12:36 PM

Johnson got 4 Loins wickets, heh.

Parnell has relearned how to bowl. He needs to keep this form going into domestic first class season.

I wouldn't be getting that excited by it in all honesty. He's still gone for plenty despite taking wickets against what is essentially Ireland A, and he's picked up a fair few tailend wickets too. Hasn't shaken the no ball problem either.

He's obviously a cricketer with a lot of natural ability and he could be anything but I wouldn't really be taking this tour as evidence of any genuine improvement in his application, tbh.
