Test Squad for South African Tour - predictions & discussion

[The Sleeping Giant]

He bowls too short. Hardly any balls he bowls will actually go on too hit the stumps.

This was the answer I was looking for
Has he tried to be tooooooooooooooooooo much of enforcer ?
The way he is bowling he would struggle to get Watson out LBW

OK

The Clarke critics in this innings


The South Africans will give Clarke more chin deliveries b4 this series has finished
They have won round 1
How should Clarke play from here on ?
Should he play the same shot ?
Should he pull and hook at everything ?
Should he fend them off defensively?
Should he just duck and Weave ?
Should he sway back to the legside and slash through the offside [like Bradman v Larwood] ?
Should he use a tactic I have not posted ?

WHUFC you can post as well

Can anyone post what Clarke should do ?
Clarke was caught at fine leg playing a pull shot off SSsSsSsteyn

Put the shot away for the rest of the series.

Sleepy What should Clarke do now ?

Whilst I have got your attention
Your thoughts after we discussed this in the First Test
Especially now that Morkel hit him a few times

I could get that hack out LBW bowling left handed.

so could my grandma

These commentators are taking the piss surely!

Saffers have bowled shit and and there is no point badging blokes without pitching the prick up after to get them out.

By the way guys Duminy is a spud and his wickets are from a team turning up the tempo with the bat and not valuing their wicket.

My goodness they silverline everything. Your team is ranked number 1 @ home and are about to be arseholed by a team who 6 months ago couldn't get near England...

Did a good job of wearing a few. Nearly got out to one pull shot he played. At the moment, keep doing what he is doing and clock up the runs while steyn is injured.

Aussies declare

Aussies declare

I'm not surprised.

This first session is the game for mine. Aussie win it they can win the test match SA win it and it will be a drawn test. Very flat track but overcast a little bit of moisture could be an interesting first hour.

I would have batted on
All batters just to smash
Try and get 60-70 runs in 8-10 overs
Then the bowlers can go flat out on a shortened day for bowling
