2nd Test: South Africa v Australia at Port Elizabeth Feb 20-24, 2014

[BunniesMan]

Not really

Obviously pitch was made to be slow to stop the Johnsons rampage. It goes both ways, their bowlers should be ineffective as well, IF WE DONT PLAY STUPID SHOTS, we will get whatever they make and more

I don't have that much faith in our batting order. One of our top 6 will probably get a ton. But I could easily see 5 failures there as well

 

[The Mad Hatter]

I would not pay to watch this dull game. Sth Africa only going at 2.8 ish off 115 ish overs, not like blazing away.

And media can't wait to rip in and rag Aussies either.

And f**k me if the anecdotes aren't sleep inducing.

 

[chigurh]

Yeah the pitch is cr@p, but I still have no confidence in our batting lineup to dig in and grind it out.

 

[BunniesMan]

Rogers has struggled getting started in tough situations. Warner is just as likely to give midwicket catching practice as he is to get a ton. Clarke is out of form. Can Doolan and Marsh have 2 good tests in a row?

A lot of question markets if the Saffers get 400+

 

[jargan83]

Agree with most

South Africa are going about this innings in the most boring possible manner but our top order is capable of brain explosions and could fall apart very easily.

 

[Hutty1986]

Lol, give a rest all you doomsayers. This pitch is f**ken garbage. Unless it falls apart, this will be one of the most boring draws in cricket history. No wonder nobody goes to watch it live.

Calling a draw at lunch on day 2, especially with australias incredibly inconsistent, unreliable batting order??. SA will make 500+ the way theyre going. Fcking de villers has slaughtered us

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Sack Lehmann!!!

 

[TheParraboy]

Sack Lehmann!!!

sack Johnson as well, the hack, teased us long enough...

 

[TheParraboy]

Wonder if Smith is thinking about a declaration tonight?

 

[chigurh]

Far out I'd almost rather watch curling than this dross of a pitch. Curling!!

 

[BunniesMan]

This is the first time we've been really behind in a test since the start of the summer. Will be great to see if we're capable of fightbacks or if we're just bullies.

 

[8Ball]

Was that...a wicket?

 

[DoggiesBroke]

YEAH! Lyon removes The Man.

 

[BunniesMan]

Nathan Lyon is a superstar. Carrying us singlehandedly

 

[8Ball]

I don't think we're doing that bad..450 is around par at Adelaide batting first. This pitch looks even flatter.

 

[Horrie Is God]

Tiger with the massive breakthrough..again..

He is a world class offie now..

 

[TheParraboy]

the lyon roars

 

[hineyrulz]

Tiger Lyon has really stuck at it and really earned his wickets.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Might as well play spin at both ends.

Tiger > Gaz
