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

[Hallatia]

Johnson on

 

[TheParraboy]

Notch on

wickets to tumble imo...

 

[madunit]

Hastings is average, but at least he isn't being carved up like Starc.

Hilfenhaus plays a vital role in the side in that he can tie an end down and dry up the runs, allowing the bowler at the other end to try and get the wicket.

This bowling attack doesn't have a bowler who can bowl tight for more than 1 over. If Hastings can manage to at least keep the runs down, he will serve some purpose.

This is why you have either one of Johnson, Starc or Hastings, not all three ffs!

 

[Timbo]

If he'd taken a wicket in his first over I'd have cried.

 

[madunit]

either a perfect yorker first up or a short wide shit down leg side from Johnson's first ball

 

[Horrie Is God]

Classic..Johnson is the only one hitting the right line & length ATM..

 

[BunniesMan]

Johnson is ripping in. Hope he keeps it up.

 

[woodyk2]

thats was a ripper ball !

 

[madunit]

If he'd taken a wicket in his first over I'd have cried.

haha, not because he took a wicket, but because it would ensure he'd be picked in the next test?

 

[Red&BlackBear]

Johnson causing Smith all sorts of trouble again. Geez his record vs SA and on WACA and vs Smith is very good.

 

[madunit]

has he lost any pace? has he fixed anything, or is this all about to fall apart after an over or two?

 

[TheParraboy]

Nice little half volley on the legs for 4 off notchs last ball

 

[BunniesMan]

Watson doesn't look 100% fit to me.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Johno looks like he used to. The odd great ball that gets a wicket out of nowhere in amongst some rubbish.

 

[madunit]

the more things change, the more they stay the same...

 

[woodyk2]

Still astounds me how the commentators blow smoke up Watto's butt.

 

[Red&BlackBear]

Smith looks shakey vs. Johnson... It's like Atherton vs. McGrath.

 

[BunniesMan]

Still astounds me how the commentators blow smoke up Watto's butt.

Watson is averageing 20 odd with the bat in his last 8 tests.

The way they talk about him you'd think he's Kallis.

 

[Horrie Is God]

11 overs bowled & not one maiden..

 

[Cletus]

Watson doesn't look 100% fit to me.

I was thinking the same thing Bunniesman. He looks grumpy and petulant like usual nut he's got no enthusiasm. Wouldn't be shocked to see him break down again.
