Shot Philander!

 

[Wizardman]

Dale is choking....Tahir already knows he is stuffed if he has to bat.

Its going to be very worrying for SA if they lose a wicket now.

 

[Timbo]

Philander is having a go, Faf has shut up shop...

Need to decide what the plan is.

 

[8Ball]

Pretty sure Morkel is fit enough to go out there. Saw him hobbling about earlier.

 

[Timbo]

40 off 48 with 4 in the bag?

Go for it.

 

[Wizardman]

If they lose a wicket...they will lose the test match. Knife edge stuff. But, it is time South Africa take off the dress and show steel in a pressure situation.

That is the plan.

Philander to take the risks and Faf is the insurance.
I will be very interested to see what they will do if Faf gets out.

 

[8Ball]

Getting to 30 off the last 30 with 4 wickets in hand should be the plan i think.

Lose another wicket: shut up shop

But duplessis has to be there to avoid defeat

 

[vvvrulz]

40 off 48 with 4 in the bag?

Go for it.

I think they'll take it down to about 30 balls with no more lost wickets before they have a proper go.

 

[Wizardman]

If SA go down, Tahir and Duminy should not play a test ever again. Kallis should be on thin ice as well.

 

[vvvrulz]

Kallis should be on thin ice as well.

:?

Kallis was in fine form before a bad umpiring decision stopped it.

 

[Xfactor1979]

One thing's for sure theres no impact by the spinners in this game

That or the spinners arent good enough on either team

 

[Patorick]

Draw firming.

38 off 40.

 

[Wizardman]

He has been crap for some time now....keep him as he can bowl well. But, his batting is a concern.

 

[vvvrulz]

Ashwin only fires on his friendly turners at home.

Tahir fires nowhere.

 

[vvvrulz]

Great shot Philander, just one of those every now and then and they'll get home fine.

 

[Wizardman]

Ashwin only fires on his friendly turners at home.

Tahir fires nowhere.

Tahir must bowl some mean f#$%ing spinners in the nets.

 

[Xfactor1979]
