Test Squad for South African Tour - predictions & discussion

[Squids]

Anyone here dislike Philander? For some reason he gives me the sh1ts.

@panther pack

[Squids]

Shaun Marsh

15 innings
6 ducks
8 scores under 4

[David Brent]

Watson back at 3 Doolan goes for now,

One worrying sign with the bat was Lyon getting out twice in one test after not getting out in the previous six.

[philcas]

Third test changes
Hughes in for Doolan
Watson in for Marsh
Pattinson for Siddle or Harris
Harris looks tired
siddle just to see how pattinson stands up to SAFFAS batting
The Top order just hasnt cut in the first dig for most of the summer
Hughes at 3
clarke at 4
watson 5or6 or float between 4,5&6 depending on the situation.
now its time to persist with Hughes & pattinson for at least 5-6 tests.
If they fail no excuses

[Rik E Boy]

Pattinson takes two years to play 5-6 tests.

Very disappointing loss. Our team has improved under Lehmann no doubt but we still can't handle reverse swing as a batting or bowling unit and we can't play swing or on slow decks. Fast and Bouncy we are a good show with Mitch dominant but once they take the juice out of the deck our batting is exposed.

Watto for Marsh. Need that extra bowling option and someone who will make a few runs.

[Rik E Boy]

We need to talk to this man.

[Booney]

What, and fix the match?

[Phantom Gossiper]

Marsh hit a 100 in the first test.. his spot is safe for at least 4 years

[heater31]

What, and fix the match?

We could do that or maybe get him to teach our team to bowl like him or how do you bat against bowling like his....

Maxwell needs to be in there ASAP he is the future.

I am getting organised early, what size trailer do I need to hire to collect all my monies I will make from Watson scoring under 20 runs.

get it in 5c coins and a freezer bag should suffice

[Dogwatcher]

Say what you will about Watto's batting, we missed his bowling in this Test.

sure did.

just that ability to come on and bowl 4/5 overs and give the others a rest. otherwise those overs were basically the end of a lyon or siddle spell.

This was written before the second test. Absolutely perfect summary and is exactly my thoughts. Interesting how Marsh was dismissed both times too.

So who would have thought balls around off stump going away and In Swinging Yorkers get batsmen out

His second innings dismissal was a tad unlucky i thought....was it actually out. I only saw it real time...looked to be missing leg?
Happy to be corrected.

[The Sleeping Giant]

It was out.
