well they did bat all day in adelaide a few years back

AB - is just a wall - there is no need for him to score runs, thats not the object



i still think the game will be a draw

it will be the Falafel and Steyn there at the end of the match

8/265

[The Sleeping Giant]

41.17 runs an over.

Clarke is probably starting to practice the press conference question of 'why 500 plus'

[The Sleeping Giant]

And the follow on.

[mal]

The real concern is Lyon. This is the type of situation good spinners dream of. Yet hardly troubled anyone including Abbott.

Think a few blokes in the field are starting to think they should have declared 100 runs earlier.

Clarke should have batted on to get 550 in front ...

What a ball

[The Sleeping Giant]

Love test match cricket.

[whufc]

Don't think we will need 150 overs at them - unless we call in the spudback bowlers

Agree but Clarke is very agressive and worse case scenario for us is they fall a wicket or two short

Oops!!!!

[The Sleeping Giant]

Just clipped off.

[dedja]

YES!!!!!

[The Sleeping Giant]

Well done rhino.

[whufc]

Lol Clarke the genius!!!!!!!!!!

Took a mad Central fan to do the damage!!!!!

[mal]

My money is on us getting the two wickets in the one over if we are to win

HARRIS 2 WICKETS in 1 over
What a post

[mal]

Tea 7/201
106 overs
Duminy 22*[64]
Philander 16*[13]

Harris 2/24 [18]
Johnson 2/72 [27]
Pattinson 2/44[20]
Total 6/140 [65]

Lyon 0/10[19]
Watson 0/6 [7]
Smith 1/31[11]
Clarke 0/5 [4]
Total 1/52[41]

You don't have to be einSteyn to work out the formula after tea
Averages BEFORE this match

23.22 Harris
26.43 Pattinson
27.65 Johnson
31.84 Watson
32.43 Lyon
36.94 Clarke
47.70 Smith
54.50 Warner

I've not played Test Cricket
But I am a reasonably successful gambler who bases his assumptions on probability
In the racing game you MOSTLY back the horses with the most successful form lines that suggest they can win
Cricket is kind of the same
From here on the Aussies will freshen up
There is no tomorrow
You simply bowl the best bowlers for as long as possible or for most of the available overs

I would bowl
PLAN A
Harris /Johnson/Pattinson immediately after tea
Finish them off, if they cant
PLAN B
Lyon
PLAN C
Bring back the strikers

Smith, Clarke must only bowl a max of 2 overs each

HARRIS 2 wickets
JOHNSON 1 wicket

[The Sleeping Giant]

Good call

[whufc]

******* pumped for Harris, couldn't have happened to a better bloke U Beauty!!!!

Aus the unofficial test number one!!!!!!!
