3rd Test: Australia v South Africa at Adelaide on Nov 24-28, 2016

[Twizzle]

Got me f**ked why people cling to some kind of phantom idea of "technique" tbh....the guy has 12,500 first class runs, clearly "technique" doesn't matter to him

it works for him I guess but most of his shots are well outside his eyeline which makes it very hard to watch the ball onto the bat

Like Elgar he does nick a lot.

 

[Twizzle]

Scissorhands

what a legend

 

[tomdl]

Scissorhands you superstar

 

[hineyrulz]

Lol he nearly dropped that.


Haze deserved that.

 

[jargan83]

The backstop gets one

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Interesting career. Scored a hundred on debut followed by f**k all and then a hundred here.

Deals in hundreds the Cook.

Scissorhands takes a good catch which heals thinks is magnificent.

 

[Pete Cash]

I think his problem has been primarily starc. he came into the series real nervous against starc in particular with the ball coming back into him. against hazlewood his footwork has been adequate but against starc he has been very nervy

Yeah but most openers nick off a lot. It's a hazard of the job. All batsmen have their flaws and their strengths IMO, there's no perfect technique. Better to know your own natural technique and play to that

 

[TIGER14]

Nevill could have caught that blindfolded and with his hands tied behind his back.

 

[Bazal]

By Scissorhands standards that's the catch of a career

 

[Eelectrica]

Nice catch Wade. Good to see his shoes weren't cemented to the ground this time.

 

[tomdl]

Yes! My new favourite batsmen is at the crease.

well firstly, Martin Crowe

secondly, I rarely nick and I open

 

[Pete Cash]

Jesus thats a good ball for a guy on 100

 

[_snafu_]

See ya Cook.

 

[Twizzle]

where was that ball 100 runs ago

ball Starcy

 

[hineyrulz]

That was a ripper !! Good effort by the bowers this morning.

 

[Eelectrica]

Good bowling Starc.
Our turn next. 127 to win. Please don't collapse, please don't collapse.

 

[TIGER14]

Yes! My new favourite batsmen is at the crease.

We got robbed of watching him bat.

 

[tomdl]

We got robbed of watching him bat.

Spewing. f**k you Starc and Cook. Best 0 off 1 ball I've seen.
