Have a listen to these wanker commentators. There is no law saying you must throw it into the keepers gloves.
Next they will be complaining we aren't bowling full tosses so the ball doesnt get roughed up on the pitch

its a in written law that if your inside the Circle you throw it on the full

It's test cricket and there ain't no circle.

Yes, it's at the bar for a round of drinks.

The irony of a Pakistani and Sri Lankan telling players about the "spirit of the game".

It's funny how things change when there is a chance of reverse swing, I would get a good telling off if I threw it into the square

You are probably one of those annoying blokes that throw it in off the concrete!

I can barely throw it to the other end usually

LOL, so the ball is 'thrown' into the pitch every ball bowled. If the batsman drives the ball then there's a chance the ball will hit the pitch again.

90 overs a day is a min 540 hits on the pitch, then add the times the batsman hits it into the pitch.

So we are supposed to believe that a few odd throws from the outfield that bounce to the keeper will dramatically alter the ball, considering the fact that the fieldsmen need to be skilled enough to bounce the ball on the same side each time to get a consistent roughing up of the ball?

Baawaahaaa ...

What is going on
80 overs
Australia has 5 bowlers
Yet ,Smith and Clarke have bowled 13 overs between them

Watson 3 overs
Harris 12 overs
Smith 9 overs
If my maths is right Smith now has taken 10/501 in Test Cricket

SA 5/122
Bowling figures at Lunch
Johnson/Pattinson/Harris 5/82 [48]
Others 0/35 [32]

Yep. Getting the new ball quicker also. Might get the next one to reverse more.

[The Sleeping Giant]

The real concern is Lyon. This is the type of situation good spinners dream of. Yet hardly troubled anyone including Abbott.

Oh is that's why Smith came on after 14 overs today at over 55
To get more overs in to get the 2nd new ball quicker
Why didn't I think of that

The ball would hit the seam a whole bunch of that time when bowled.

Before I go to sleep, get a wicket ffs!
