3rd Test: Australia vs South Africa in Sydney

[beads6]

Johnson gets Kallis just what we needed an early wicket...

 

[Twizzle]

Barge arse gone second over

 

[Tommy Smith]

Kallis has gifted his wicket to Australia after getting a good start in 3 innings so far this series.

Very unlike Kallis.

As for Johnson, he's starting to remind me of the movie Bedazzled. I reckon he sold his soul to the devil in exchange for getting wickets off of wide half-volleys 9/10 as opposed to getting hammered for 4 9/10.

Ive never seen anything like it...

 

[Twizzle]

yeh, for a bloke who doesn't swing the ball, he seems to be blessed

 

[African Monkey]

I can't believe Jacques gave his wicket away like that.

 

[Tommy Smith]

I can bowl a sh*tload of wide half-volleys, thats why im not good enough for test cricket.

And yet if my name was Mitchell Johnson it would be the very reason i am a test cricketer.

Its like some sort of twilight zone thing...

Not that he isn't a decent bowler though. He's good, but batsmen really dont need to be helping him out like they are.

 

[HevyDevy]

I've never seen anyone pick up so many wickets with rubbish deliveries.

In India it was down leg side, against SA it's balls way outside off stump.

 

[Tommy Smith]

I can't believe Jacques gave his wicket away like that.

He's done it twice now against Johnson.

But given hes never been one to do that in his test career i think we can put it down to the 'Johnson Phenomenon', which must be studied.

 

[Tigers_are_Pro]

How can people call Steyn a pie-chucker compared to this guy tbh.

 

[African Monkey]

He's done it twice now against Johnson.

But given hes never been one to do that in his test career i think we can put it down to the 'Johnson Phenomenon', which must be studied.

I can't see it stopping either.

 

[Tommy Smith]

And can commentators please stop talking about how Kallis was "lured into the angle of Mitchell Johnson".

It was 2 foot wide of off-stump FFS.

 

[African Monkey]

I know this is plain obvious, but batsmen have got to leave Johnson's wide half-volleys and force him to change his line like Amla and De Villiers are currently doing because he's not going to bowl them 2ft wide of off stump for more than 2 deliveries an over.

 

[JW]

My eyes must be sh*tting me - did Mitch just bowl an in-swinger to a righty?

 

[HevyDevy]

No he didn't.

 

[kamilfav]

Wtf No slips for Mcdonald?
How does Punter expect him to take wickets?

 

[Ridders]

Bowling sh*t and wide outside off-stump seems to be the Kallis' Kryptonite.

 

[fish eel]

Run out.

Tight bowling building pressure.

Wonder if we can keep it up?

 

[beads6]

He can do it with the bat, ball and in the field... Great fielding and good pressure by all the bowlers.. Good to see Ponting trying some plans..

 

[ElectricEelMan]

Duminy plumb LBW

Given not out :x

 

[The Colonel]

Middle and leg......

Great one Billy.
