Blindspot Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Watson is the best cricketer ever. There is no way we will get his wicket before lunch on day 3.Cursed you are Mr Watson. dracs 1
JGR Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 If we can get another two before close of play - it should make for an interesting test
Christie Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Great batting by the tail, but the top order was pathetic imo. Reminded me of the times we depended on Boucher, Polloc & Klusner to save an innings. If the rest of the top 6 could each get 30 runs it will make the difference from being behind to being in command. Very, very poor, perhas AB should take a rest and give Tsolikile a go? Cant do worse.Lets see them bat.

Shebeen Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 one down already...this could be a quick game, although seeing faf batting untroubled does suggest there aren't as many gremlins as we made out to be. big game for Vern. looking at the seam bowlers ICC rankings:Steyn #1Philander #3Morkel #8Petersen unrankedKallis #34(but not bowling) Watson #22Starc #74johnson #23Hastings debutLyon #25

Slave Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Stats, schmats. If Dale hits his straps we'll be in with a shout. Believe it or not, but we are that good Way back when, in the days of white lightning and vinnige Fanie, we could maybe defend a low score.  Granted Dale is the top ranked bowler and Morkel is also up there with Vern in the top ten so maybe, they can bowl us back into the game.  BUT, they are going to have to bowl their boots off.  Who knows, maybe my rant was premature and runs are hard to come by on this pitch. (Don't think so though.)  For the rest of this match, I think we are the ones doing the chasing.  Another coupe of days and we will get some kind of idea of where it's all headed. The ebb and flow of the sessions.. Sessions, 1, 2, and three go the way of the hosts. Now we dig deep and try to come back into the game.
'Dale Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Glad fireball Warner is out.A quick 50 from him can hurt.
