If they could please just hang on for about ninety minutes till I'm in the pub, that'd be grand.

I've had frankly a prick of a week and I'd really like a glimmer of hope in this match when I set down my first schooner.

My first beer has just arrived.

You useless bastards.

Great catch

Pretorious is the greatest bowler of all time, or at least he's being made to look that way

Lol wrapping Stoneplod deluxe and he plays that sort shot.


This team has absolutely no game awareness whatsoever. Just absolutely clueless.

Stoinis and Maxwell especially are f**king geniuss.

Get into the 40th over with those two still in hand and 300 is on still. All they had to do was go at a run a ball for 6 overs or so FFS....100-115 off the last 10 on a good track with Maxwell and Stoinis and Carey and even Starc and Cummins isn't out of the question by any means.

Everyone wants to go at 8s and 10s all the time

probably, our best batsman NCN not playing
To be fair our best has been carey, a shining light in this mess.

To be fair we are missing our 3 best batsman, so it will eventually come right, and if Sangha is the second coming of Punter we will be perfectly fine by the next world cup

Following the action on cricket.com.au as another one bites the dust.
Can stil watch live there.

Lol I was referring to Steyn opening up

Beers made me too subtle...which is normally the opposite to a beers effect, but anyway.

I wonder if red wine will swing it back the other way

These two now need to get us to the 43rd, 45th or so, going around 6s and then have Cummins have a crack. Carey needs to be Bevan here and be there in the last over. Starc coming in with 5-6 overs to go can give it a fair belt but you don't want him coming in with 12 to go and having to change his game.

250-260 is still on, if we're smart about it. The problem, inevitably, is that we don't think like that.

Hopefully Khawaja and Smith will be there, would improve the batting 10 fold

Peter Siddle would be 5 for if he was in the Proteas side today

Considering what this Pretorious has done
