[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

cricinfo is f**king amatuer

scorecard says b. North, commentary says b. McGain

 

[Dutchy]

f**k, Its Mcgain's wicket..

Cant blame me for f**king that up

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

no it's not, apparently ... north is listed as bowling and McGain is listed as not bowled yet, but the entire over was McGain :?

amatuers

22.1 McGain to Petersen, no run
22.2 McGain to Petersen, FOUR, another beautiful cover drive.
22.3 McGain to Petersen, OUT, Gone, missed this time and hits middle.
AN Petersen b North 36 (73m 49b 8x4 0x6) SR: 73.46
22.4 McGain to Kuhn, no run
22.5 McGain to Kuhn, no run
22.6 McGain to Kuhn, FOUR

atleast the eagle took some wickets finally had a catch held off his bowling

 

[Collingwood Storm]

They had an update on Fox Sports and they reported it was McGain, Cricinfo have f**ked the commentary big time.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

McGain isn't at the ground today, he has Gastro.

North has 4 wickets, SA looking for quick runs

7/166 lead by 209 with 52 overs remaining

 

[Collingwood Storm]

8/177 now

North has 5/65 off 10 overs... most wickets have been batsmen trying to hit him out of the ground.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

9/182

North gets another caught at deep midwicket

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Bollinger gets the last wicket

182 all out

AUS need 226 from approx 48 overs

 

[El Diablo]

8/177 now

North has 5/65 off 10 overs... most wickets have been batsmen trying to hit him out of the ground.

McTard would've been hit out of the park

 

[TheParraboy]

From memory didnt North have a more than decent season as a part time spinner?

Not a bad bat as well, could be in the 1st XI for the 1st test side I think

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Hughes and North are opening

0/35
Hughes 21*
North 13*

 

[Dutchy]

SABP XI 403/7d & 182
Australians 360/4d & 59/0 (13.0 ov)
Australians require another 167 runs with 10 wickets remaining

Tea - Day 3 Australians RR 4.53

Min overs remaining 33.0

Hughes 36 from 38

 

[Timbo]

To be fair to McGain, North's wickets came (a) because they were trying to hit the cover off the ball and (b) at 7 runs per over.

Things look shaky for McDonald for that first test.

 

[TheParraboy]

5 per over required

bat like its a 50 over game and we win this

 

[Dutchy]

Would be nice, but I think Punter would prefer to just have these 2 bat normal and secure their places in the side.

Victorians seem to have a way of getting picked no matter how useless they are

i wonder why

 

[Dutchy]

That picture is almost as good as this.
