3rd Test: South Africa v Australia at Cape Town Mar 1-5, 2014

[elbusto]

Revisionist history and people going out of their way just to pick the opposite view to mine.

Unlike seemingly everybody else, I actually remember what 2012 and 2013 were like up until tea on day 1 of the Brisbane test. I remember the reputations Cook, Trott, KP and co had at that point. I remember the reputations Johnson, Haddin and even Warner had at that point.

Brisbane is not comparable at all to this test. We were awful before Brisbane. Now we're the most intimidating team in the world.

Now we are the best. We should be looking to curbstomp every one that we come up against now. Back then it was different.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

3 more runs.

 

[DoggiesBroke]

Mammoth test from Davey. His batting has been key for us in dominating both England and SA.

 

[BunniesMan]

Warner with an outstanding performance.

And we're STILL batting?

 

[elbusto]

Warner with an outstanding performance.

And we're STILL batting?

Yes.

Really wants that 500

Not sure it's the 500 they want.


I reckon they want that difficult 30 min period at them more.


1 hour gives the batsmen a chance to get settled.

30 mins you can't really achieve anything as a batsmen .

 

[some11]

Alright, so we're playing for time not runs.

Yeah good call.

 

[AusKnightRKO]

I don't get the point of this now?

This.

Clarke is going to unleash Michty John John and Patto on them for 30 mins. Hopefuly a few broken arms or wickets will come and they'll be shot for the afternoon session.

This is getting a little silly now, 500 is more than enough. We want to as long as possible to knock them over. Runs don't count anymore it is time.

 

[elbusto]

Declare now is my view. Lets get into them.

 

[elbusto]

I have one can left in the fridge. I hope it is a beauty.

 

[VictorTheViking]

I'm not fussed really, to me, clarke is saying "were giving you no chance, we are going to make you try and bat it out"

 

[JW]

Off they go.

 

[El Diablo]

declared

 

[HevyDevy]

Clarke has obviously picked a certain time to declare and is sticking to it.

Oh and there it is! Let's go boys!!

 

[elbusto]

Yes!
