hopin for an AB special.

Block the **** out of it for 5 hours?

 

[viriya]

Angelo should bowl himself as well - Morkel did well bowling slower balls..

 

[YorksLanka]

one down nine to go..we need Amla and AB quickly if we are going to win this game and level the series

 

[Maximas]

yesss, Herath ma boi!

 

[viriya]

Not sure what the logic is of sending the Kock in.

 

[karan316]

Mathews needs to stop this bull****, needs to give longer spells to his spinners. These 2-3 over spells make it difficult to pick wickets.

 

[Maximas]

He'll have to play de knock of his life to justify moving up to three, just bizarre

 

[Maximas]

Mathews needs to stop this bull****, short spells are not good unless you are a Dale Steyn or Mitchell Johnson.

Mendis runs in and bowls the same **** all day, only hope he has of getting a wicket is if the batsman hasn't seen him for a while and somehow doesn't pick on or something, he needs to give Herath and Perera long spells though, it's what worked yesterday

I think any bowler would need a few overs to make that impact. You cant expect them to do well if you are giving them tiny spells. I know Mendis did bowl some loose stuff, but you would want your bowler to settle down in a rhythm and bowl.

 

[Riggins]

mendis is **** though

 

[kykweer.proteas]

good stuff so far from de kock. Amla putting a lot of faith in the left handers to bat up front.

Can't wait for the angry image reply.

Really don't get the hate of Amla moving down a spot. I know he's done phenomenally well at 3 but he's obviously a part of the decision making process and if it's what he's rather than to me it makes sense. I guess I'm a bit different though as I think Faf is more than good enough to do a good job at 3 and so you don't actually lose anything my switching them about

 

[Maximas]

Spinners operating and yet they go off for bad light, must be bloody dark

 

[viriya]

Gonna be tough getting 9 wickets on the final day on this pitch.

 

[vandem]

Why did SL wait so long to declare? Though 320-330 would have been enough for a side that is 0-1 down and needs to win.

I know what you mean, I appreciate the 'Amla is da best, let him do whatever the **** he wants' school of thought - but I just think you actually are losing something with him not at 3. He's basically the perfect 3 and reckon he's gotta stay there.

 

[Riggins]

Can't wait for the angry image reply.

you'd be fuming getting out to mendis in club cricket.

 

[Maximas]

At his best he has a strange habit of getting wickets, usually because the batsmen hasn't faced him before or the pitch is completely ****ed or something. But most of the time he is completely at the mercy of the batsman, he benefits from their errors in LO cricket at times but is just fodder in tests bowling slow straight balls

mendis is **** though

nailed it
