Must have gone home after the T20 matches and taken his stuff with him

But definately last minute, only became known about last night so either Clark was later than expected or Laughlin hadnt been impressing and they made a last minute decision to bring in someone else

 

[hineyrulz]

Hauri getting destroyed, FFS Ponting take him off.

 

[TheParraboy]

agree Haurie needs to be pulled off


SA 2/217 in the 38th over

Gibbs and Devilliers killing it

 

[eddiesmith]

Gibbs finally mis hits one and is caught at long on off Bracken for 110

3/226 after 39, Morkel in

Well I've heard them mention that he was still in South Africa training with his IPL team

 

[eddiesmith]

Well I've heard them mention that he was still in South Africa training with his IPL team

Yeah he was in South Africa training now, thats why they called him up, but it seems strange he didnt still have his ODI shirt from the T20 matches unless he went home in between

 

[TheParraboy]

SA 5/258 - 44 overs

looks like around a 300 chase, our batsman better get it right at the top

 

[eddiesmith]

317/6 with Harwood getting Duminy off the last ball although was dropped a couple of times including a sitter by Hauritz the previous Harwood over

Should bring in White for Hauritz next game

 

[TheParraboy]

Aust 0/43 - 9 overs

need to up the ante a bit with 2 settled batsman and with the field restrictions still in place

 

[IanG]

0 for 58 (11.1 Overs)

So far so good. Still have all 10 wickets in hand.
