Bad batting and now bad bowling. Very hard to reel this one back short of a Saffa batting collapse.

LOL Did Ian Healy just say that Hashim Amla is known to be a dour batsmen?

He's one of the most beautiful strokemakers in world cricket, and strikes @ 51 rpo.

What a knob. No idea.

LOL Classic scene.

Amla, world's best no.3. What an awesome player.

Very dour indeed.

A terrible day for Australia cricket today. Nothing is going our way. Poor batting, even poorer bowling. We need to somehow muster the line and length and patience to get them out for no more than a 300 lead.

 

[some11]

This will be overturned.. nothing's going our way.

Hastings bowling wide dross, hook him.

 

[Red&BlackBear]

The old saying is you make your own luck/fortune, but South Africa have definitely had their fair share in all the tests so far. We need to start doing something different, have a few overs aimed at their ribs or put in a few fielders up in the silly's.

Gee we could do with Quiney right now. :sarcasm:

 

[some11]

This is f**king rubbish.

 

[Red&BlackBear]

This is f**king rubbish.

I can't think of a more frusturating day of cricket played at home in a long time. Everyone is bowling wide and short, every shot the Saffa's play is finding gaps or going to the ropes. Every challenge so far is being reversed. Runs almost every single ball. Geez I'd start bowling bouncer after bouncer and aimed at the head.

 

[some11]

I cant watch anymore.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Geez I'd start bowling bouncer after bouncer and aimed at the head.

That would help. :roll:

What we've got here is 2 inexperienced bowlers being shown up and one pretender doing what he always does - sfa. SA have just exploited that and beautiful batting conditions. Day 3 will be a belter of a pitch.

Getting back into this game is a massive test of the ticker in this side..

The whole day,but this session in particular,has been a complete nightmare..

Time for Clarke to find that magic wand he's wielded so well this year..

 

[Hutty1986]

This is an unacceptable capitulation in Rickys last test.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

I nearly feel like crying it's so bad.

 

[Red&BlackBear]

Having Hilfenhaus slowing the run rate out there would be great at the moment!

 

[undertaker]

and speaking of hilfenhaus, he was just on the ad where he is promoting a book
