Second Test vs South Africa

[jackpot jim]

As much as Im a Robbie Quiney fan, we both have something in common, we are both not good enough to be playing Test Cricket

As much as we've all been a fan of Ricky Ponting, he is now NO longer up to Test cricket. Geez he had a lot of ugly dismissels in the last 12 - 18 months. His foot work is all at sea early in his innings which is consistently finding him out early these days.

warner puts ball into building site for the girl to get whilst balancing!!! Ha ha ha

[jackpot jim]

Im thinking Ricky Ponting and I have something in common these days
We are both too old to be playing Test Cricket

That was a great ball. He needs runs bad in the second innings

It was a rank half volley FFS !!!!!

Great ball ?
5 years ago he would have hit the ball to mid off
Today , he feet were a muddle, as it has been in too many innings , early on , the last 2 seasons
No footwork , well there was footwork when he slipped and hit the deck

Now its up to your namesake to save the Australians AGAIN

Great work Warner, where are the Dave Bashers now?

[Brodlach]

Kallis injured and gone off...hamstring the radio thinks

[Bluedemon]

Quiney out for the 2nd test to be replaced by Watson.

Ponting is going to need some bug runs in the 2nd innings and 3rd Test or else he wont be playing the 3 Tests against Sri Lanka

Losing track of what test we are up to, as well as trying to be a kiwi there BD

Great work Warner, where are the Dave Bashers now?

Before you shoot a load, calm down.. it's all well and good for him to come out and blast a quick 60 so far, but the issue with Warner - and most likely aways will be - his consistency!

What good is it having a bloke who once every half dozen tests comes out and scores runs? Also i'd like to see him for bat for extended periods of time instead of scoring 100 in 10 overs and being done with it...

[Phantom Gossiper]

Seems there are more blokes lining up to get dropped then there are to come into the side

Warner is a work in progress, his game is developing all the time. Of course as an opening batter you will fail, and the way he plays his dismissals will look ugly from time to time. He is averaging 40 over his first 10 tests..... so far from as inconsistant as you think.

Not one test goes by without someone's head on the chopping block!

Well said.

What I like about Dave is that he wants to be successful in Test cricket and has had to work hard as he burst into the spotlight via the shortest form and was tagged as a slogger.

We never had to call for anybody to be sacked for about 6-8 years....in fact it was the contrary- we were calling for blokes to be picked, just couldnt find a spot for them
