Australia in South Africa

[MUFC1987]

Nice to see Ponting giving SAF a chance of a big total by letting Hussey bowl.

Hussey is a very underated bowler, hes fairly accurate and people think they can smash him, and well get out

finally, i hate when cricinfo does that :

Yeah, The problem is they do it so often

Hopefully another few quick wickets fall

Hussey is a very underated bowler, hes fairly accurate and people think they can smash him, and well get out

Did his two overs not just dissapear for 15 though?

 

[Cricket_60]

Lewis gets his second: Boucher c Gilchrist b Lewis

he's bowling nicely :happy

 

[genghis_khan]

meh fatty lewis has to do alot more to convince me

but good bowling, Clark just trapped Kemp lbw

 

[Cricket_60]

South Africa are still dangerous with Pollock in, We need to get rid of him.

 

[MUFC1987]

Yet another Masterclass from Boeta Dippenaar, on current form, he's one of the best, if not the best, ODI Opener in the World.

Pollock is a machine...he is a great player.

hmmm this is not going well, few over left and pollock is well set.

argh and Lee is bowling!! ponting you tool! he cant bowl at the death

 

[MUFC1987]

Gotta love the Cricinfo commentary.


47.5 Lee to Pollock, FOUR, go Polly, four in a row, again smashed to
deep mid wkt boundary
47.4 Lee to Pollock, FOUR, four more, three in a row , smashed through
mid wkt
47.3 Lee to Pollock, FOUR, shot ; sliced behind square on the off side
for four
47.2 Lee to Pollock, FOUR, shot , smashed to deep cover boundary and
thats the 50 p/ship up

He's not biased though, of course. :

 

[lukedapuke]

What was biased about that?

 

[MUFC1987]

What was biased about that?

The 'go Polly' bit.

I think the score of 246 runs is 30 runs too short from what should have been. Australia 32/0 after 6 overs. Good opening so far.

Looks like Australia will win the odi series as they have Ponting & Symonds back and are fielding their first choice side, other than Glen McGrath.

SA definitely missed a great opportunity to beat Aus and I fear Aus will go into the tests with momentum from odi series victory and beat saffers easily.

I'm watching the fourth one-day international on Sky Sports 1 right now and it looks like Adam Gilchrist is somewhere near his best. He looks like he's playing the way he likes. Simon Katich always seems to play well if his partner does too. Has anyone else noticed that? In the fourth Ashes test match Michael Clarke scored a lot of runs and he went on to make 59. He also made a century in the third VB Series final and Adam Gilchrist scored one that day too.
