Australia in South Africa

[aussie1st]

There should be no excuse for no balls full stop.

You try running in at full steam time and time again and not putting your foot over the line.

 

[Brett_Lee]

Its test matches you gotta expect more then one days though. I know hes fresh hes back into international cricket hes just got to get back to teh way he was when he was playaing before

 

[irottev]

I hope Kasper never plays Twenty/20 - (2 runs and a freehit)

The odd one is acceptable. But 6 already, thats not good. Lee at high 140's and low 150's odd hadsn't bowled one yet.

EDIT: Thats seven now. Its going to start costing them wickets. Hes bowling 1 per over. He needs to fix this problem.

bring on Clark i wanna see what he's got!

South Africa defintaely dont look as strong without Pollock coming in at 8.

you fellas are going a bit wild over some no-balls...get off his back.

 

[aussie1st]

This is where Tait or MacGill were needed. Kasper and Lee have done a good job now we need some more strike bowlers. It seems Lee is bowling like McGrath would do.

Wtf Symonds first change, didn't see that coming.

Edit: double change so basically Clark is still first change.

 

[genghis_khan]

Gee our middle order looks solid...

much better with no Bradley Hodge there

Clark strikes!!!

 

[aussie1st]

Wow good start for Clark, could the selectors finally have picked the right bowling attack for once this summer?

Clark picks up Kallis, Clark is looking really good. Hes doing the McGrath job perfectly.

 

[Cricket_60]

Great work from Clarkey. Looks like the desicion to choose Kapser has paid off as well.

 

[genghis_khan]

Roy just needs to keep it tight for Clark with his nippy medium pacers.

 

[Sman-21]

Not much swing out there.
Plenty of movement of the seam though.
Clark with 2 wickets in 3 overs didnt see that coming but looks like SA have been trying to go after Clark early and they have paid the price.

 

[Cricket_60]

Yeah, I think if Stuey Clarke keeps up this type of bowling he could obtain a cemented spot in the team and give Lee the oppurtunity for a rest every once in a while.

 

[barmyarmy]

So who is the Clarke guy then and how is he detonating the SA batting?

 

[aussie1st]

You know NSW you can always rely on them to produce good players. Clark is yet another product from the great NSW. Showing his class now, I didn't know how he would go in the test arena but he has more than comfirmed his picking ahead of Bracken very right.

 

[barmyarmy]

Well apparantly he's 30 with a FC bowling average of 30 so it's good to know Aus are thinking long-term.

 

[genghis_khan]

well this is a debut to remember for sure.

Gibbs is a HUGE wicket, not just because of his recent form but because he is easily the side's best batsman.

lets see what warnie can do now the platform has been laid by the quicks.
