[The Sleeping Giant]

Unbelievable

[Jim05]

Rogers WTF?
He just went to sleep

[dedja]

Great throw but WTF was AB doing?

[The Sleeping Giant]

I like him. Aggressive fast bowlers are the best.

See I prefer Morkel, he is also aggresive but doesnt carry on like a knob and do the Chainsaw when he gets a wicket

No he isn't aggressive. The commentators keep saying he needs more mongrel. Get in the batsmans face. Give them a send off. Not just hit a batsman and stroll back to his mark.

[Jim05]

Would you not send Clarke or Smith out before Doolan if you are chasing quick runs?

[dedja]

Probably feel sorry for him in what might be his last test ...

[The Sleeping Giant]

Why would you send Rogers in at all?

Rogers did ok but as you said earlier we are batting too slowly.
Doolan bats like a snail.
By sending him out its pretty clear that Clarke intends to bat for a fair while yet

[Ron Burgundy]

Why did they pick Doolan for this series?

Come back when you can turn over the strike.

[Jim05]

Fire him Dar!
1 off 20 FFS!!

[Jim05]

Snicko shows Doolan may have tickled that one

[Ron Burgundy]

Snicko shows full face of bat and not one cherry in the middle.

[Dogmatic]

Duminy, any chance you can bowl one on the stumps instead of first slip?

[daysofourlives]

Doolan going along way towards saving this Test for SA.
We were 0/121 off 20 overs.
We are now 1/147 off 31 overs
He is a deadset disgrace who is way out of his depth, Bailey looked more at home.
No 3's need to be able to bat both attackingly and defensively and adlust their game for the situation. He has no idea against Duminy.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Warner 13 off last 27 balls.

Disgraceful?

[The Sleeping Giant]

Warner 11 of last 28 balls.

[Dogmatic]

How long before Warner reverse sweeps Duminy?
Cowardly bowling.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Lol.

he's batting for his spot. If he hits out and is caught in the deep. In 6 months his average will 20 and he won't be selected.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Enough runs now. Declare.
