Cricket- the sport not the insect

Philander goes, 8/81.

 

[ramjambunath]

8 down, Philander gone. Caught well by Ponting off Harris. Did they get diarrhoea during lunch? They're certainly batting like diarrhoea.

 

[craig1985]

Now a run out!

 

[Ferminal]

Wow, nice run out... 1 short of the follow on, it would be a huge win if they could send them back in.

 

[craig1985]

9/83

 

[Zam_Olyas]

ridiculous to run for that

 

[ramjambunath]

Wow, I have a big lag compared to you guys. Beautiful from Australia.

2 runs to avoid the follow on, can they do it?

 

[craig1985]

Dale Styen better take 7/33 or something, but then he probably will.

 

[Ferminal]

Since when did test match sofa call Aus vs RSA games

 

[craig1985]

Pretty sure Bangladesh has shown more spine.

They're doing it. It was brilliant yesterday. Now I got my stupid TV repaired and have to watch on that.

Follow on avoided.

 

[craig1985]

Lol Steyn nearly ran out Tahir.

 

[craig1985]

Tahir is out and SA is out for 96.

 

[Midnightfright]

I was under the misguided impression that SA were a top team and wouldn't fold under pressure like some teams in the past. Still time for a triple century stand between Tahir and Steyn mind you.

Spoke too soon.

 

[ramjambunath]

Unbelievable session. As crazy as England in Headingley 2009 Ashes.

The scorecard is pretty much a telephone number. Rudolph successful, who'd have thought that when he got out.

 

[Ferminal]

Aus batsmen have to perform now with the pressure off. Marsh probably not batting though.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

I didnt watch the whole innings so was it good bowling or ridiculous batting from SA.

 

[ramjambunath]

Watson and Harris bowled straight and full. There's some movement. One or two bad shots (Kallis, Smith and Philander) otherwise no gifts. Well deserved 10 wickets.

 

[Ferminal]

Decent bowling by Watson and then Harris. Kallis was a poor shot but the others were nothing horrible. RSA's (lack of) test match form exposed in devastating fashion.

 

[ramjambunath]

Watson out as usual with an lbw. He's always lbw or caught in gully. Getting some of his own medicine.
Should've referred.

Edit: Hughes dropped, the Philanderer deserved a wicket. Bad miss by Smith.
The Philanderer strikes, Ponting gone pending review. It will just clip leg so out by hawk eye. Yes confirmed.
Hughes gone. He'll be given not out but he's definitely gone. Given.

 

[ramjambunath]

4 down, Hussey golden duck. What a match! 4/13.

 

[Ferminal]

wow, ridiculous. 14 wickets in 30 overs.

 

[ramjambunath]

Seems like 15 now. Clarke seems out. Add the last 2 Australian wickets and it's 17 in 34 overs.

Loving this match. I am a bowler

 

[craig1985]

Now it is 5/15.

 

[Midnightfright]

What is the wicket like there playing on? Is it a mine field?
