I'm supposed to play cricket on Sunday. Want to get out of it. I am sort of injured. I got hit pretty hard on the side of the ribs with a cricket ball at training and it has been causing me some pain. Thinking of milking it to watch cricket. IT will only be a T20 that I'll be missing anyway

 

[AlwaysGreen]

By chance my roster has given me 4 days off. \\\\/

about to call you a woose, but missing a t20 for test cricket, well that elevates you to legend status

[Fufu Andronez]

Pattinson to rip straight through! I'm thinking he'll get a 10 wicket haul this match

someone make the match start already. The anticipation is killing me

 

[Cletus]

I still don't get how Cowen is still there. I don't think we've got the batting to beat SA but I'm really looking foward to the bowling. Should be a good series.

 

[Twizzle]

give Pidge the new ball

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Toss won by South Chokia. They bat and play without a spinner. The fat man may not bowl due to a niggle caused by too many hours at KFC.

 

[madunit]

Not a bad toss to lose. Aussie quicks have to capitalise quick and early while there's still some life in this pitch.

By day 3 it'll be a road.

Their decision to bat first without a spinner seems pretty dopey. We'll see how right or wrong I am after the test.

Smith and Amla need to be removed cheaply. Siddle and Hilf need to plonk it outside off to smith. He's not the best straight bat player early in an innings. Amla shuffles and doesn't move his feet much early, so he needs to be forced to reach about and hopefully get an edge

 

[chrisD]

It's exciting.

 

[madunit]

that third ball of hilfs over, first to Pietersen, thats as short as he wants to bowl. Great ball!

 

[Meth]

Sitting here with my 2 day old son getting ready to introduce him to Test cricket. I hope its a cracker of a game.

"Good call, you can't give the new ball to a vegan..."

Kerry's on fire already.
