3rd Test: Australia vs South Africa in Sydney

[Ali's Choice]

They can use Hawkeye

It is common knowledge to all but the most casual of cricket fans that Hawkeye is not one of the technologies to be used during the trialling of the referral system.

As many others have said there was ample doubt in the decision which you are crying about. Like a baby. Get over it.

 

[eddiesmith]

Be pretty stupid to use Hawkeye for the Challenge system when its inaccurate so wouldnt be improving decision making at all

 

[HevyDevy]

Look at the tentative ways Hussey is getting out, compared to Hayden's more aggressive. Hayden is still playing his natural game, he's just rushing everything he does because of the pressure he's put on himself.

Hussey doesn't look anything like the reliable, consistent, confident batsmen he was 12 months ago.

FFS - for two years he was the best player in the world, he has one poor run of form and you give it to him.

who'd be wasting a referral on hauritz?

Very good point you make there TT.

 

[ozbash]

day 5.

i honestly think ricky has handed the game to Sth Africa, on a plate.

dumb, dumb, dumb declaration...

Absolutely no chance of SA winning

 

[clipser]

Absolutely no chance of SA winning

why? it could easily go either way... if SA don't throw wickets away (looking at you kallis) the match will be determined by the pitch and the irregular bounce/spin etc :sarcasm:

 

[Twizzle]

alot will depend on the wicket today

 

[attila_the_gorilla]

Yeah mainly because of the pitch. Variable bounce and sideways movement off the cracks, plenty of turn. If SA play to win, I think they will lose easily. If they just bat time without trying to score, then they may get a draw, but they`ll need lots of luck.

 

[Twizzle]

Plenty of turn, lol

we only have Hauritz

 

[attila_the_gorilla]

he`ll do some damage today. Was turning it yesterday. Touble is these kinds of spinners have no variation, but he should still get some results today.

 

[madunit]

FFS - for two years he was the best player in the world, he has one poor run of form and you give it to him.

Where have I said he wasn't a good batsmen for 2 years.

I've made a fairly obvious observation of his game at the moment. I'm not calling for him to be sacked ffs.

 

[madunit]

What a surprise clown Bowden robbing Haurie! FFS the ball was hitting middle stump you sheep shagging crook moron!

I didn't know the stumps had to be 4 foot out of the ground these days.

Shut up locky, you're a moron who has absolutely no idea, whatsoever, on anything at all to do with cricket.

 

[beads6]

Put Clarkey down for a few wickets today IMO. The wicket should spin wildly today and stay pretty low. Hauritz has his best chance to secure his spot in the team today..

 

[willvillain]

McDonald is the x-factor today. He's the most accurate bowler and the most likely to make use of the cracks, even at his gentle pace that's very dangerous. If he can jag a few lucky wickets, we'll be right.

 

[kamilfav]

Bollinger strikes!

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Spumante has been getting lessons from Johnson on how to take wickets

 

[willvillain]

That's the beauty of the left-armer. Is it a flukey wicket if Bollinger gets a wicket in that manner, or does that only apply to Johnson?

 

[aussies1st]

Just needs to throw a wide one to Kallis and he'll be gone too!

It was a wide one , but nowhere near as wide as Johnson gets some of his wickets.
