Haha damn. Those don't really hurt but at the end of the day there'll be nice bruise.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Johnson has bowled pretty damn well today tbf

Enough to get him another tour to England?

 

[Stapel]

Half way the upper leg....., and some commentator starts about a review...... Maybe handy for medical use, or what?

He'll make up for that, don't worry.

 

[archie mac]

Are they going to show us how close the LBW shout was?

 

[aussie tragic]

Du Plessis threatening Ian Bells record of best average after 3 innings (297.00)

 

[wpdavid]

So how much will look like a good total on this pitch when Aus have to face SA's attack?

 

[Stapel]

Are they going to show us how close the LBW shout was?

No, it was way too high!

 

[Spark]

You'd struggle to believe this pitch has had 7 wickets fall on it if you just started watching. Looks very friendly.

 

[archie mac]

No, it was way too high!

He was crouching, still too high but I wanted to see how high. No shot after all

 

[Stapel]

I did some math. Average first innings score at the WACA since SA last toured in Aus is slightly above 300. Obviously Aus are on top here, but SA needn't too many runs more to set up this series for a great finish.

pretty hard to tell at this stage. Think 250 would be serviceable and >300 a good score.

Well, anything should be shown on TV, so I agree there.

Also, Tendulkar was once given LBW (and rightly so), after taking it on the shoulder!

 

[Ruckus]

Think we've let this go on more than it deserved though. There was a period after the wickets were all falling, where Johnson was taken off and the momentum was lost a bit. Should've taken advantage of it more.

 

[morgieb]

Why do I feel we're gonna lose this now.

 

[Flem274*]

Why do I feel we're gonna lose this now.

Because you're a Gambhiring ****

 

[uvelocity]

love coming home after the beach or the shops when the waca test is on

if you gonna bowl short have a short leg

nice rearguard saffers

 

[Burgey]

Great shot

 

[aussie tragic]

Johnson (31 wkts @ 18.77) now has more wkts at the WACA than Lillee (30 wkts @ 27.23)

 

[Spark]

Whether it's the deck or the bowling, but there's ****-all happening out there atm.

I remember that. He was all class in that series against one of the all time great attacks. How he didn't win the man of the series was beyond me
