Steyn v Sangakarra?

[steakn]

look forward to a great night of cricket!
Would you say the best bowler in the world currently v the best bat?

I would say it depends on the surface ie. Johnson 1st test surface vs Steyn 2nd test performance

Steyn, Johnson, Harris, Anderson, Philander, VS Sangakarra, AB Devilliers, Clarke, Warner, Cook etc

All those chaps have performed in the past year, mind you several have also had injury lay-offs or a poor run of form.

For me Steyn/ Johnson vs Devilliers/Sangakarra

[whufc]

For me Steyn and AB are still the best bat and bowler in the world for sheer fact of sustained period of success

[bennymacca]

on the last 8 test matches you pick johnson, on the last 20 you pick steyn

[whufc]

Hope im wrong but im really nervous about tonight

Aus are no chance of losing but getting 6 wickets including AB, FAF JP, even Philander can produce a Dizzy Gillespie type innings, it will not be easy when they are in an ultra defensive mode on a pitch which still isn't the worse pitch to bat on. There is a lot about THAT Adelaide test in tonight for me.

I reckon at some point Clarke will be wishing he had an extra 5-10 overs up his sleeve especially when the saffies will still be at least 150 runs shy.

If we do win I think its defiantly gives us rights to claim the tag of tests 'unofficial number one side'

yeah tend to agree, if they were boxers I would have scored this series 1 round each with Steyn retiring injured in the third round.

Come on mate it's Munno Para West, closer to Smithfield

[whufc]

Don't get impatient aus, save that for me

[beeroclock]

Get the spinners on and get the field in close for catches ffs.

[locky801]

DeVilliers holds the key, get rid of him in the first session we should have no probs.

If he is there at lunch plenty that are capable of batting a long time with him to save the game and series.

Sitting on the fence right now with this one

[helicopterking]

Get the ball spinning away from Abbott ASAP.

[mal]

Time for either Johnno . Rhino, Patto or Watto to have a bowl after the drinks break or both

[stampy]

was ist das mal?

[Dogmatic]

I like Clarke's tactics with rotating the bowlers frequently. Don't let the batters get comfortable.

[dedja]

Patto!

Skipper Mal!!!!

Patto

[Jim05]

Have a listen to these wanker commentators. There is no law saying you must throw it into the keepers gloves.
Next they will be complaining we aren't bowling full tosses so the ball doesnt get roughed up on the pitch

[whufc]

Lol aus are the first team in cricket history to deliberately throw the ball into the dirt
