Australian tour of SA

[qwerty51]

I don't think enough has been made of Warner's performance in this series - against the so called #1 attack in their own backyard. Everyone said the Ashes was a one off because of how bad England was and South Africa would show up Warner especially after all the talking he did. Well...

12, 115, 70, 66, 135, 25*

 

[RugbyReg]

for sure. And this test he actually scored an important FIRST innings century

 

[I like to watch]

Bit harsh, 2 out of 3 1st innings > 50

Did anyone actually say that? My only gripes with the bloke were:

a, He shoots his mouth off too much, but that's a pet hate of mine
b, He makes too few runs when the heat is on in the first innings of a test match


He'll never rectify a, because he's an epic bogan but he has sorted out b and that's to his great credit.

I'd rather have Warner mouthing off than a bunch of clones too afraid to say anything. Go look at Tennis or Golf and see how boring those pricks are.

Its all part of the aggression and part of Warner's job. The only time it sucks is when we lose, because then he looks like a pillock, even if personally he makes runs.

wasn't so in the Ashes though.

Not so much Aus fans but South African and English types. I gotta say there's nothing more satisfying in sport than seeing someone talk themselves up and then actually delivering, I bet Warner loves it as well and if that's what makes him tick keep doing it.

Also it's quite funny if you think of all the people that have retired/lost their job due to the Aussies...

Flower, Swann, Pieterson, Smith, [Kallis, (Trott)]

Slooooooooooow going after Warner blazed into the 80s. Now it's like he's just batting time and giving a huge Fuck Off to the entire cricketing establishment in South Africa

 

[No4918]

He makes the 100 and things will pick up very quickly.

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

I don't understand why they would be slowing things up. I'd be very surprised if the run rate wasn't lifted substantially after lunch. Bat for an hour, put on 70 or so and stick 'em back in.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Just beat the Saffers into submission. Not much to ask is it?

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

That's more like it fellas and this is the situation you bring Watson in for. Thirty runs in the last three overs.

 

[Pfitzy]

And gone! Curse of The Hornet

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Get a lead of 500 and declare. Bowl them out for 269 or less and win by >200 runs. Job done.

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

I think they might be looking for a declaration around drinks. They're really rattling along now.

 

[Pfitzy]

Come back for one over after drinks. Just to be a prick about it

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

Yep. Always do what the opposition would least like.

511 the target for the SA

And around 140 overs to do it. If we can't roll them in that time we don't deserve to win.
