Given the bowling, and what's been going on at the other end, this is a great effort by Duminy.

Just thought I'd take the time to have a bit of a chuckle at Qlds expense.

Hope the Vics can bat all day tommorrow and SA can hang on for a draw.

Now back to Durban ........

Well other than the Vics batting all day tomorrow, I do agree with you. Want SA to hang on for a draw. Would be gutting to lose our spot in the final.

Classical cover drive. Dumineeeeeeeeee

 

[Demolition Man]

Any list of the bowlers who have inflicted it?

Not sure I can do that, but I can work out which team has retired the most batsmen

LOL @ that being byes.

 

[Pratters]

Four byes. A few more runs like this and the follow-on possibility will be avoided.

Surprising to see England almost up there with WI.

And who on earth retired hurt against Bang???

Exactly my first 2 thoughts.

Bodyline

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Wow, I just got home. Got this all recorded, can't wait to watch it. Sounds like an amazing performance from Johnson.

Bodyline

I wonder exactly how many that series contributed though.

Jaffer, Inzy and Kumble.

They employed the tactic in a couple of series didn't they? I'd think there was only one or two actual retirements in Bodyline. Woodfull got up and kept playing didn't he? Oldfield didn't I'd imagine.

It's not even like there was only a few seconds between the posts...

Somewhere between none and one.
