Has nothing to do with the top order getting out cheaply and putting them under all sorts of pressure?
To be fair to the top order, they havent exactly had the worst of series, the last two games are an exception and inparticular tonight. The middle order however have done the same thing game in and game out, namely fail. The Husseys are f**king infuriating, they dick around at a 50% strike rate, get bogged down by a lolable spiner then after the match is gone the decide to play a shot or two and on the second shot they get out. They have had pristine batting wickets, in most games they have had good if not superb head starts by the top order to work with and what have they done with them?
The Hussey's can turn a 320 score into 225 no problems at all. How about turning over the strike? Getting 4 or 5 an over off singles to keep the scoreboard ticking over? They have nfi what they are doing. Im so sick of David and Mike, all mike does is protect his avg and david is useless. Its time to put clarke down where mike is as a late order accumulator of runs, you know, what he is good at. Stick mike where david was and send david back to Victoriania. I couldnt care less who they bring in for clarke, if i have to sit through another 20 over hussey brothers farce ill f**ken shoot myself.
Use your feat against spin guys. You stand there with your feet planted, blocking every single ball and hoping one slips past the field. I dunno, maybe try and judge the flight, read the ball as it comes out and dispatch the garbage that is being bowled for what it is. They make Botha look like shane warne.
Pontings excuses are wearing thin. I nearly fell of my chair when he blamed the sides disgraceful series on lack of exprience. Who the f**k does he think is playing for south africa? Kapil dev and Imran Khan? They are a team FULL of newbs, a couple of which have destroyed the australian side all summer, Duminy has shown just what a player with abilty can do no matter how many games they have played. The South Africans lost their two most experienced players and their best bowler and they still smashed you ricky. Playing well isnt about experience its about having talent enough and being ready for international cricket and we have 4 or 5 in that side that are well off the pace.
