Test Squad for South African Tour - predictions & discussion

[Jim05]

The Saffers bowling attack looks like it may be a smidgen better than England's

Remember we were 5 or 6 for SFA in most of the Ashes tests.
Haddin and Mitch saved our arses several times

[The Sleeping Giant]

Might be better than Australia's also, despite how much they talk themselves up.

5 for 97 was the worst Jim. It wasn't that bad.

I consider 5 or more for under 200 as ordinary and I reckon we were that in most of the tests

[The Sleeping Giant]

Depends what your opposition is like.

2/54
22* Doolan
12* Marsh

Marsh looks comfortable and batting well
Doolan struggling and somehow still there

[mal]

Marsh DROPPED in the gully

Apart from the fact he was just dropped

[The Sleeping Giant]

On what you have seen will Doolan make the grade on Test Cricket ?

[The Sleeping Giant]

Looks good so far. Looks like he has plenty time.

High backlift
Tends to poke at balls outside off stump
Looks like he will be out caught behind the wicket off the quick bowlers

[Squids]

Better than hack!

[Jim05]

Thank faark for that. Smith rests the guns and brings on spud Petersen to release the pressure

I think thats how most bowlers get their wickets mal.

Doolan put in a Shane Watson innnings
Did the hard work
Got set
OUT
27 runs
51 balls
5 fours

Like Watson did not rotate the strike hitting 20 runs in boundaries

If Doolan can now go out and take say 1/30 off 10 overs or pull a hammy he will will be a replica Watson

Shut up !
I know that
You know that
But the others might not of

In any case he was out pulling !

[The Sleeping Giant]

After one innings against the best attack in the world. I thought you rated Watson? You are sending mixed messages mal.

[Squids]

Watson would of been lucky to make 5
