1st Test: South Africa v Australia at Centurion Feb 12-16, 2014

[Timbo]

Well done mate, always happy to be proven wrong like this.

 

[hineyrulz]

100 to Darsh :lol:

Bit of luck but gee he has batted well, makes you wonder how he only averages 35 in FC cricket.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Well done to marsh.


I feel we all can take a little credit for that ton after running him down on LU for so long!

 

[jargan83]

Oh Darsh....

Well batted and well deserved 100

Very happy to have to eat some humble pie tonight

Now see out the day and we'll call it ours

I wonder what Lehmann could do with Usman Khawaja, Chris Lynn and Phil Hughes. I reckon he could get those 3 firing just like he has to Marsh, Smith and Johnson.

 

[8Ball]

He takes off his helmet and looks pretty chuffed. Well he might. Phillip Who-ghes?

70.2
Duminy to Marsh, 1 run, floated up and drifting to leg, nudged through square and that's it - Marsh, who made a century on debut three years ago, has his second Test ton

 

[lockyno1]

Hughes won't be getting a run for a while, lol

Nickelarse "here is a little pot purri" referring to highlights of Marsh's innings

Wtf has he been smoking?

Settle down.

One century does not mean he's 'firing'

Needs to show he can do it over a period of time.


But a good effort nonetheless.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Hughes won't be getting a run for a while, lol

I don't know.

Marsh's calf doesn't look the best.


Once he cools down he could be in a bit of strife.

 

[hineyrulz]

Darsh only needs one leg.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Marsh has scored 9 centuries in red ball cricket in 88 matches. Approx 1 in every 10 matches

Michael Clarke has 43 centuries in 171 red ball matches. Approx 1 in every 4 matches



That type of gap in the one test team is pretty stunning.

We all had a go at Cook for his negative captaincy but G. Smith has seriously been waiting for the new ball for about 15 overs. They have been in a holding pattern for about an hour not really trying to do much.

I mean its not Cook bad but they have been pretty flat.

I agree

Just letting the game drift waiting for batsman error or for the new ball

 

[Pete Cash]

I'm also a little concerned that HH1908 might have been right about the balance of the side. Boy does the old ball look easy to play.

 

[Timbo]

These two need to survive to stumps. Blunting the new ball will destroy the Prots.

 

[Pete Cash]

South Africa must be heaps behind on overrate its the 80th over and its 5.12 local time.

And they haven't taken the new ball.

 

[jargan83]

They've just taken the new ball to start off the 83rd over
