I think hilfy needs to go until he gets his pace up a bit

he was bowling high 130s vs India last year. That extra yard of pace was a massive difference. Seems to have gone back to sub 130, which is ineffective and usless, might as well get in Copeland

Good first over by Pattinson even though he went for a few, at least he is trying to pitch the new ball up.

Must give a huge wrap to Amla and South African selectors.

Amla had a pretty much horrible start to his career. Didn't get his average above 30 until his 16th test. I even remember thinking he was fairly ordinary, though with potential. But the selectors stuck with him and he bloomed into one of the best batsmen today.


Australian selectors can take note of how the South Africans stuck with Amla in the early stages of his career. If he was Australian, I doubt the Australian selectors would have had the patience.


Good hundred!

Well done Amla, good to see the Aussies congratulating him. A lot of my white Saffa mates whinge constantly about the race selection policies of SA, but how can you not justify his selection in the side?

Wade is really poor form with the gloves so far, that "drop" in the Pattinson over was regulation stuff, imagine if the batsmen had got a nick on it.

All hail the beard. Excellent temperament and concentration for a number 3. Shane 'get a start and gets out' Watson take note.

Speaking of facial hair, Davey Warner is sporting a mo to be proud of :sarcasm:

very 70's porn.

 

[hineyrulz]

Siddle finally pitches one up and gets Alma, more of that please.

 

[TheParraboy]

Siddle gets Amla

collapse imminent

 

[Hallatia]

wanted to give the rest of the team some batting practice, the unselfish batsman that he is

 

[ElectricEelMan]

I might have thought about challenging. Probably would have been at least refs call, but it didn't look plumb.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Got him! Veggieman with the breakthrough. I won't mention that the tard was the reason we needed a breakthrough in the first place.

 

[Canard]

Looked high on first view

Mistake by Kallis I reckon

 

[ElectricEelMan]

Well, yep should have challenged.
