Gibbs, always has been and still is an enigma. Sometimes effortlessly hits boundaries almost at will most of the time looks ordinary

Lol Lawry was questioning Hauritz then he produces a ripper. But so far SA are doing what we should have done to their spinners and just took the singles.

What all the other balls bowled are robbed of their wicket taking magic becuase one (two) catches were dropped?

And all without the extra power plays being put into use.

All they need is 4 runs an over.

Johnson and Tait should never be allowed to bowl in the same team.

Why are all you merkins turning this into a NSW vs Vic thread.

For the record, Haddin is a pretty sh*t keeper, although may be the best available. Dussey has had a very average game and series in general, and Johnf*ck is a turd, along with Hauritz.

Oh and Marsh really pissed me off earlier, too slow and put too much pressure on Warner durimg the power plays.

There is no pressure to score runs quickly in test cricket unless in the rare run chase on the final day although usually by the time Johnson is in that would be reduced to trying to save the game

You can take as long as you like and leave balls as you like.

Are you trying to tell me they are the same game and have the same expectations when the final batsmen came in?

Idiot.

:lol::lol::lol: Are you still going? Now you're qualifying your previous wrong statement, I see....

Here are the stats you failed to provide;

ODI
Inns-19 including today
Minutes batted...0-10=9
10-20=8
20+=2

Of those, the two times he has batted 20 minutes or more, have been his two best scores

Balls faced...0-10=14
10-20=3
20-30=0
30+=1
He has never faced more than 31 balls. When he did face 31 balls, he scored 24 not out

Overs he has entered the crease...
20-30=0
30-40=2
40-50=17

The two times he has been in prior to the 40th over, the side has been bowled out before the 50th. One of those innings is his best score. All 17 of his other innings have been in the final ten overs, and 14 of those 17 in the 45th or later. He has had 2 innings with more than 10 overs left, has been undefeated in one and built a good score. Other than that, he has never had the chance to bat more than 5-10 overs

So how do you know that his ability doesn't convert? His technique is excellent, he has the ability to score runs as we've seen with 2 test match and 4 FC 50's....and you rubbish him based on stats you didn't bother to understand

Essentially, he was a handy excuse for your Victorian boys sub-par performance

What!?

Hussey dropped an easy catch off Gibbs early. That same man has just fallen to Johnson for 64. If Hussey takes the catch, he doesn't get 64. Is it really that hard to understand?
