England tour of South Africa 09/10

[Kev]

He was out stumped on that knick (which I couldn't see), but they only appealed for the catch. Luck finally going our way for once.

Since when do you have to pick what you appeal for? Or is there some sort of secret cricketers language I was previously unaware of?

Howzaaaaaaat = LBW
Howaaaarrrggggggh = Caught
aaaaaaazzzzzaaaaahht = Stumped???

Could you believe he is now saying: "Sehwag is the new Bradman"?

I think it depends on who you look at when you appeal. If Prior had looked at the Square Leg umpire, there would have been a case. Just speculating though.

 

[TumTum]

Shouldn't the DRS check for everything?

 

[Fatal Shot]

They didn't review it, so there was nothing to check.

Law 27.4. Appeal "How's That?"
An appeal "How's That?" covers all ways of being out.

Boucher! Damn, this guy is truly a fighter.

Boucher! Damn, this guy is truly a fighter.

A fine average for a keeper, and he's fast approaching 5000 Test runs

 

[Fatal Shot]

Yeah... anyone know how many keepers have gotten to 5,000 Test runs? I'm guessing Gilchrist, Sangakarra and Alec Stewart would be ones. Any others?

Far as I can remember, as a Wicket-keeper only Gilchrist has gotten to 5000

 

[King Pietersen]

Gilchrist's the only batsman to score 5000+ runs as a designated keeper.

Prince and JP again disappointing. Time to look at pietersen,elgar and rossouw. Good effort by Kallis and Boucher. AB really shouldn't get out like that, he is too good a player give his wicket away softly. England on top, we need to try and get to 300 and then bowl very well.

 

[Fatal Shot]

I'll still say they got really good deliveries. If they had given their wicket away, I would be pissed, but they didn't. They made England earn it, even if it didn't take too long, but still. Duminy is the future along with AB. Surely we can't drop him, because of a bad patch.

 

[CaptainOZ]

Kallis is looking like he wants to get a move on. Some aggression here.

 

[Fatal Shot]

Kallis has been magic in the first innings, with that 100, then 75 and now this.

Hopefully he can convert this into a bigger score. He looks really comfortable at the crease now though.
