3rd Test: Australia v South Africa at Perth Nov 30-Dec 4, 2012

[Twizzle]

stop calling the lad from Penrith a Victorian.

Hastings is from the Hawksbury

 

[Timbo]

Hastings is at fine leg.

John Hastings appears to be taking the new ball in a test match.

The 2012 prophecies are true. The world is ending.

 

[MSIH]

550 minimum here.

If it wasn't so sad, I'd laugh.

 

[Timbo]

John Hastings has the ball.

I don't know how to feel. I'm just numb all over.

How is this a better selection than Hazlewood?

We've got Victoria's usual second change bowler taking the new ball in a test match.

 

[Iafeta]

Mitchell Johnson... is his selection a case of horses for courses, in that he has had a couple of blinding spells in Perth? His form for WA didn't seem that overwhelming.

 

[Timbo]

aaaaaaaaaaand a pie outside leg stump to start.

Welcome to test cricket Hastings.

 

[MSIH]

Opening bowler hitting 126 clicks. Intimidating.

 

[Horrie Is God]

Good first over by Starc..Nice shape & swing back into the right handers..

 

[Red&BlackBear]

Nice ball from Hastings that. C'mon guys lets get behind the team, regardless of how many pie chuckers we have in it ATM.

 

[Hallatia]

my mum was asking questions about the Australian selections, and I just had to say this to her "no mum, they're not cheating, they're just bad their jobs"

Just heard Tubby say he was born in Penrith too,

I believe he played for Hawksbury in grade cricket

 

[madunit]

all i can say is, thank f**k I'm in the office and don't have a tv or radio in sight. hopefully saffas get bored by tea and declare for 600 odd so that I can watch Punter tomorrow rack up a defiant double ton

/wishful thinking

 

[hineyrulz]

125km at hour Hastings :lol:

No wonder they batted first. Hazlewood would have been a handful on this deck.

 

[Twizzle]

trying to get the muppett caught at short leg

 

[madunit]

At least Hastings, bowling at 125-130kph isn't inclined to bowl that short shit that Siddle persists with. Some pitched up bowling at the WACA is not necessarily a bad thing.



Shoulda let Punter open the bowling with his gentle mediums

 

[Twizzle]

problem is he is swinging them down the leg side

 

[woodyk2]

Having two lefties isnt a bad thing really.

 

[Red&BlackBear]

come on drs!
