RockCoach Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Streaming, not on the TV.....it comes down the interweb and my PC has no language button on no remote.... Sorry man. Didn't read properly. A bit early still...
Blindspot Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Kallis may only bat after the 92nd over. Hopefully that will not be too far down the tail so that he can at least have decent batting partner on the other end of the pitch.
Shebeen Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 great century by the guy everyone loves to bash, biff smith,been out there the entire game, and you can imagine how tough yesterday was as captain. let's hope he can last the day and get really stuck in tomorrow. just need to look back at the last series there to see how much he loves batting in aus.
Mr Winter Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Stumps Day two SA 217/2 , good fright from our boys so far. Come Smithy double century time El Dodgius Bastardo 1
Shebeen Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Despite the two soft dismissals, I think we'll take this day. 217/2 still 333 runs behind.Kallis can bat in 25 overs time, so might not have to join in with the tail. Looks like dead flat for the quicks and last session was full of part time spin. Tahir better spend tomorrow in the nets whilst the batters run up a total. We'll need him to fire. all three results still possible
Stretch Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Stumps Day two SA 217/2 , good fright from our boys so far. Come Smithy double century time not that i am complaining...but smith only seems to perform when he really needs to

'Dale Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Cool action shots there! Ind vs Eng, Day 1 also nicely balanced.
Mr Winter Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 not that i am complaining...but smith only seems to perform when he really needs to Maybe he is one of those people that strive under pressure? Interesting stat they had on Radio 2000 this morning when SA wins Smiths average is above 60 a draw his average is around 50 and when SA looses his average is just below 25.

RockCoach Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Watch the ball son! If you watch the replay front on, besides moving forwards Smurf moves right across his stumps - to play the ball off his legs - and obstructs the keeper's view of the ball.

Still reckon people tended to underestimate how good Bouch was. RockCoach 1

Wade fails to stump smith(off clarke!)Maybe I'm getting older. I've never been shy to stick it to Ricky and cheer when we nail him, but can't help feeling that he's a REAL DEAL legend, and seeing him on his face like that made me a bit sad for him. At least he got done by another REAL LEGEND, I'm sure they will smile over a beer afterward.

Started at the same time and stats until recently were very similar.
