Re: South Africa in Australia
I'd be trying him now to break this partnership, batsmen want to smash him, might mis hit one, they are playing the current bowlers with ease and scoring runsMousey;311421 said:

Great game guys. Must admit I came close to turning of the telly at 7-222 with 5 overs left but full credit to Albie Morkel who single handedly won them the game. Another good innings from Duminy he is amazing this kid.
Now they just need one more and they will have proved many wrong.

Re: South Africa in Australia
I disagree I think Hopes is a good bowler he just didn't go so well tonight. Hauritz wouldn't do much better TBH. And I think Harris would be handy but he isn't as good of a batter as hopes and Australia's tail would be too long IMO.

Re: South Africa in Australia
Australia would be better off resting Clarke or Hussey than dropping White, better to give him plenty of chances to get used to the level required
White batted no6, you are putting Hussey at 6, whats the difference other than White is a more capable sloggerDJ Hussey;311654 said:

Re: South Africa in Australia
Why are all Aussies overhyping Warner, From what i've seen He's Basically a Club Slogger who hits everything in the legside. He is clearly not ready for ODI's. It was a good game for south africa and this should give them confidence for the following matches, I think South Africa should drop Van Jarsweld he scored 4 and he dropped a couple of catches, And does anyone know why Ntini never played?

Re: South Africa in Australia
Bracken, Tait, Marsh & David Hussey. All played well.
You scrapped in for the win, Morkel was just unstoppable.
The bowlers will regroup and not make the same mistake again. @|
To those who want Warner, not yet thanks, he needs to develop a defensive side.

Re: South Africa in Australia
Hilfenhaus is one of the worst death bowlers in Australia. He can't execute a yorker at all. It'd actually ridiculous that he's bowling at the death for Australia.
I can't wait until Johnson is back. No more of that rubbish.
He did the same thing earlier in the season costing Tassie the match.
Pathetic.

Re: South Africa in Australia
Wasn't exactly well backed by his fielders though. Tait's effort at short fine could have easily been the difference, and Brackens fielding in the second-last over was cringeworthy.

Re: South Africa in Australia
Ntini didn't play because South Africa are rotating their bowlers in order to get them fit for the Australia test series.
It is likely that if De Villiers is fit Van Jaarsveld will make way for him and Mckenzie will stay in after his good knock last night.
Also Ntini will most likely come in for Steyn this match.

Re: South Africa in Australia
South Africa deserved the win IMO. They bowled well as a unit something which Australia didn't do and they had partnerships. With 10 overs to go they needed 66 to win and they were 3 wickets down then they had the miniature collpase but Morkel saved the game it was a well earnt win IMO.
Will be interesting to see what happens they are going to replace Hopes with Hauritz which is a bad move IMO as Hopes is one of the better bowlers he just had a bad night and Hauritz will provide another target.
So every bowler in the Australian team will be targetted bar Bracken.

Re: South Africa in Australia
Hmmm... well I guess I have egg on my face then. I'm still gonna stick with my 4-1 tip though and say we'll win the next 4. @|
I must hand it to the SAffers. Very well batted, cool heads all round, except for Morkel but they, the Aussies, and even I, were expecting that.
Jolldo, mate, you right. Hilfenhaus sucks at bowling at the death.

Re: South Africa in Australia
Agreed.
Come again? A little bit SA bias coming through there
Because Australia bowled well in partnerships, something you said we didn't do a mere 2 sentences ago.
Hopes was rubbish, Bellerive provides assistance for spinners, where Tasmania have used three spinners at times in one game.
No revelation there. As Bracken is the best ODI bowler in the world that come as no surprise.
Looking forward to the game tomorrow.@|

Re: South Africa in Australia
Several points from me on the game the other night.
1. WOW. Albie Morkel.
2. Australia's bowlers really don't look like taking wickets majority of the time.
3. Kallis should be very annoyed with himself after that disgusting dismissal. Though, if batsman didn't make mistakes there would be no point in playing!
- Warner has been called up to replace Clarke.. but i haven't heard anything about Mitchell Johnson ?
Is he playing?

Re: South Africa in Australia
Word is that all players will be released for the Prelim final anyway, as for the final, we played our worst ever game and lost by 2 runsJolldo87;311951 said:Mitch is resting for the first two games.
Please drop Hussey and White. It's Victoria's only chance.
