Australia v South Africa (2nd Test)

After four overs, the type of spell Cummins would be used to, he has managed to hold up reasonable pace (quite a few in the early to mid 140's), and bowled a couple of dangerous balls. I'm a tad worried that the wide ball he has produced quite early in each over is one that normally would have flown to a catching fielder in a t20, and he has no other wicket taking ball unless it is a "you miss, I hit".

Prove me wrong Patty Cakes...

Still bowled too many crap balls today, if it wasnt for Cummins bowling tight at the other end they would be over 80

Amla looked a million dollars last Test
This innings he looks about 50 cents

Yeah 1 run off over 30 balls.
Siddle is troubling him with some good movement

And then Amla plays that beautiful shot...

Watto appears to have broken down again.
Cant complete his over and has gone off the field

He then had a horrendous run of injuries, and after two solid years at a peak of performance, there is thoughts of him sliding down the order, perharps so we can heap more bowling on him to an early retirement.

Sorry Shane... :oops:

He has a very good Test career so far, but ...

The Australian summer coming up
Who will get injured first
Shaun Marsh
Ryan Harris

These guys make Shane Watson look like an ironman

Trifecta
Watson walks off injured

He still bowled a bit of s**t but looked more likely to get wickets today than any time recently. I ain't a fan by any means

Cummins back on.

Media Park · Post by **Media Park** » Thu Nov 17, 2011 9:13 pm

Lunch, Day one...
RSA 2/107
Rudolph 30
Smith 11
Amla 14* looking to play a few big shots that aren't there, as he was bogged down early. Won't need to do much if Kallis keeps chugging along.
Kallis 43* off 33 balls. Was about a run a ball, then 12 off Lyon's over bumped it up a bit. He's not an aggressive batsman, so his strike rate speaks volumes about our bowling.
Johnson 1/40 Has gone for runs, but has looked dangerous.
Cummins 0/17 One or two balls looked threatening, but at least he's bowled tight. Ironic that as a guy who shot to fame in T20 cricket, he's had two four over spells.
Siddle 0/17 bowled well to Amla but that's about it, hasn't looked like taking a wicket.
Watson 1/13 Pulled a Wattostring.
Lyon 0/12 Does not need to bowl another over today.

Who is stepping up to bowl?

Siddle Johnson Cummins can't bowl the next 75 overs

who can bowl a few tweakers? Ponting?

Media Park · Post by **Media Park** » Thu Nov 17, 2011 9:34 pm

Aside from our four bowlers we have:
Hughes- 3 overs in FC career for no wickets
Khawaja- 120 overs in FC career for one wicket, listed as a medium
Ponting- 5 Test match wickets, can bowl medium or spin as I recall
Clarke- 21 Test match wickets, was a useful part timer early in his career. Spinner.
Hussey- 4 Test match wickets at the average of 28... That will get blown out in this Test match.
