South Africa on top, unbelievably.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I can believe it.

 

[bomma_man]

yeah fair enough

 

[bobnowhere]

Lols

Need a 11 hand face palm.

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

hahahahahaha Mitch you plonker

 

[Antiwhippy]

Now what is unbelievable is that mitch marsh is still in the side.

 

[bomma_man]

Now what is unbelievable is that mitch marsh is still in the side.

His bowling is okay, but Neville isn't exactly Gilchrist. One of the longest tails in world cricket is now pretty short!

 

[Antiwhippy]

His bowling does absolutely nothing for me.

It's more like our tail has a weird scar in the middle.

 

[bobnowhere]

MMarsh did get a corker in the first innings. Barely 130 km/h and dead straight, it would have gotten far worse players out. Maybe some under 10s.

 

[bomma_man]

Theoretically it shouldn't be difficult to chase here - even a massive total given that steyn's out - but I wouldn't trust anyone but smith and Warner as far as I can throw them, and even then...

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

Hazelwood must be the most contemptible person in world cricket. True Aussie arsehole.

 

[PhantomZone]

Hope South Africa win.

 

[crazy monkey]

Hope South Africa win.

.
go SA.

Hazelwood must be the most contemptible person in world cricket. True Aussie arsehole.

I must have missed something, what did Hazlewood do? He seems pretty harmless.

 

[Yagharek]

Australia 1/52 after Warner run out.

That means SA is into Australia's tail end.

edit: 2/52. If only Australia still had reliable batsmen like Mitchell Johnson and Ryan Harris.

 

[bomma_man]

We're fucked.

 

[Yagharek]

We're fucked.

The best batsmen are playing down the order though.

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

Embarrassing loss against a 10 man team. Suck shit Aussies.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Even as an Aussie fan i can't disagree.

 

[wachie]

Smith took 2 steps down the pitch and played a shot but was still given. He was out, just, but no other umpire would ever have given it out. An Aleem Dar special, he could give you out LBW in the changeroom probably correctly as well!

I thought crying about DRS was only reserved for indians, I was wrong.

News for Hobart:

Burns in for SMarsh (Broken Finger)
Mennie in for Siddle (Old, slow and not enough bananas)
Cartwright in for MMarsh (

Spoiler

Lol no, MMarsh will play 100+ tests for Australia

)
Bird as 12th even though he can't bat. He'd probably fit right in about now.

 

[crazy monkey]

SA was awesome. Keep going SA. I hope new allrounder is good. Amla needs to find form.

 

[bomma_man]

The real news for Hobart:

The definition of insanity: giving hobart tests in fucking November over and over again.

 

[Omikron]

Jan/Feb would be better, but tests don't get played after the new year.

 

[War Peaceman]

There was no way that catch was legit. The bowler fucked it

 

[Yagharek]

Day 1 of the secnd test between S Africa vs Australia.

Australia lose two openers within first two overs. Once again the tail is exposed too early.

 

[bobnowhere]

Trying to make sure everyone gets a bat before the rain comes and ruins the next few days.

 

[RelaxedOtter]

4 down for 8 runs in the fist 9 overs. Australia looking terrible against this bowling lineup.

 

[bobnowhere]

I suppose that's one way of stopping Vernon's spell.

 

[bomma_man]

I'' in a green jacket behind the wally's on the hill if they show them again

 

[hamchan]

Well, Australia sucks right now.

 

[bobnowhere]

Looks like it's getting darker. Can see the 4 light tower shadows on the players now.

 

[Yagharek]

Well, Australia sucks right now.

Maybe selectors can start looking outside nsw grade cricket and selector's families for test caps

 

[Yagharek]

Channel 9 going with classic catches by Mitch Marsh, Shaun Marsh and Mark Waugh in a desperate attempt to appease the sponsor add some sunshine to a glum summer.

 

[HolyCheck]

Like what even.

We've got some real damn issues here

 

[bomma_man]

Is Australia the America of cricket

 

[Antiwhippy]

Steve Smith going through the Michael Clarke experience.

 

[bobnowhere]

Stunner from Starcy right after Tea. Haven't seen one of his sand shoe crushers in a while.

 

[Charles Brandon]

Big LOLs @ Australia and Kohli

 

[legend166]

You know the Marsh brothers aren't related to Rod Marsh right?

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

Australia not missing Siddle by the looks of things because apparently Mennie graduated from the same school of Trundling.

 

[Yagharek]

You know the Marsh brothers aren't related to Rod Marsh right?

I thought Geoff Marsh was a selector?

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

If SA declare overnight they're a good chance of an innings victory, imo

 

[legend166]

I thought Geoff Marsh was a selector?

Nah, Rod Marsh is the selector.

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

Test crowd in India looks really bad for a weekend in such a high-profile series.... yeah, I know T20 yada, yada, yada.

 

[Jezbollah]

Holy FUCK, what is going on with the Aussies?!

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

India batting like they've never faced spin before.

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

They may as well hand the next Ashes to England now because the two teams are heading in completely opposite directions.

 

[Jezbollah]

Haseeb Hameed.

Please dont fuck this up, England.

Also, there hasn't been a Test Match in Rajkot before. It'll take a while to build crowds.
