Aus vs SAF Series

[The Dark Knight]

The best thing they could do when there is a rain/bad light delay, is show footage of old games from the 70's or 80's. I've noticed those old games on Foxtel - perhaps as part of the deal of selling the footage to Foxtel, they cant show it anymore themself..?

Or show replays of last summers test matches for example, where we smashed India 4-0!

That's a bit too recent for me - I'd rather see an old Ashes series, or even a one day game where we can marvel at Richie's jacket and check out the other fashion trends at the time.

i thought they did show some replays of the old classics

Fair bit of aggro about our boys on here today. Let's face it the Saffers are the best in the world and we aren't. We are playing on the best batting strip in the country and with Watson out we've lost a lot of flexibility in our attack. Having Quinney and Hussey at the bowling crease on day one was never in the dossier I'm sure.

It's one thing to clean up the heartless Indians who dissolve quicker than a Berroca once they hit a bouncy deck but these blokes are the genuine article. You have to earn their wicket and from the play I saw we struggled to apply any pressure. I'm fairly sure that 'dossier' was absolutely bogus..or at least I hope it was because the way we got the Indians out was to pitch the ball up and dry up the runs, not by bouncing and sledging them. Bowling both sides of the wicket against the best batsmen in World Cricket is only going to lead to a lot of inflated bowling averages and a big burger ring in the W column come Christmas.

All is not yet lost however but Pidgeon got it dead right. Bowl at one side of the wicket. In the hour I saw today Amla and Kallis scored nearly sixty runs which is ridiculous at Test level. Turn off the tap and the wickets will come. Good batsmen like to score runs...even the monumentally patient Kallis.

also line lenght.......gotta bowl a good line or else we back smacked around...

Was watching some classics from 88/89 on fox the other night. Richie had the white, cream and even a blue jacket happening

My favourite World Series Classics are ones of the late nineties ODIs where Gilly is on fire and smashing the bowling to all parts of the ground.

Washed out day is a great result for the Aussies.

If the Saffies have any dreams of winning there probably going to have to give the Aussies a sniff with a friendlish declaration unless they try and put 400-500 up and then bowl the Aussies out twice in two days

[Media Park]

The SAffers did well on day one, losing a day might make up for them being a batsman down.
If we can actually get some play today though, I'd be a very happy camper.

What time does play start today Adelaide time. The TV guide says ten but surely play starts earlier and surely channel nine will show live from ball one

Qld doesn't have daylight savings so they are now half an hour behind SA, so maybe the game starts in 12 minutes!

[MightyEagles]

To make up time there will be an extra hour of play weather premitting of course.

[whufc]

GAME ON

[helicopterking]

does Hilf have any other plan then bowling 6 out-swingers an over. Try another delivery maybe?

[whufc]

Siddle back into the attack and first ball yep u guess it a waist high on the high. Oh and then another two balls waist high well outside off. This bloke is getting paid thousands on thousands practices most days ffs

[whufc]

Playing skulls on Siddle half trackers, expect posts to be pretty jumbled by lunch, already had 4 in 2 overs.
