South Africa in Australia

Re: South Africa in Australia

Whilst disappointed in the loss, there was some good signs there I thought.

Morkel was sensational late.

We will bounce back and win in Tasmania. @|

Agreed.

Because Australia bowled well in partnerships, something you said we didn't do a mere 2 sentences ago.



Australia didn't bowl well in partnerships the collapes resulted in having two set batsman getting out in a short space of time and Australia then took advantage of the lower order panicking.

If they were bowling that well in partnerships to pick up 4 - 7 in 5 overs then they would have kept going and one the game.

South Africa however did. They had Botha and kallis bowling very well in tandem and also the Morkel brothers.

What did you think the good signs were ?
 
Re: South Africa in Australia

Having trouble quoting? Its not all that difficult you know. @|

They bowled well in partnerships throughout most of the game, Duminy struggled to hit the fence and McKenzie whilst scoring 63 only looked comfortable after taking a few too many deliveries to get going. just because we didnt take wickets every 2-3 overs doesnt neccesarily mean that we didnt bowl well together.

Punter didnt manage Hilfy, Bracken & Tait well at the death, something Im sure he will rectify tomorrow.

Hell you won, why argue the point any more? Enjoy your victory.

We are coming for you tomorrow. @|
 
Re: South Africa in Australia

For the next match

Out: White, Hopes
In: Warner, Harris/Hauritz

White is a sepcialist batsman at number 7 ?
Hopes is not a good enough 4th bowling option

Warner
Marsh
Ponting
D.Hussey
Clarke
M.Hussey
Haddin
Bracken
Harris/Hauritz
Hilfenhaus
Tait

Quoting is most difficult when you multi quote something that dosen't need to be. I am merely sguestting reasons why South Africa won and you are arguing the point because you have some chip on your shoulder with me and can't do much more btu disagree with me. So what we had a run in at the wizards get over it ! it dosen't mean you have to disagree with everything I say.

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.

How so?

We are on a forum, where not everyone agrees with everyone. Your suggestions don't agree with me. There is no "chip" as you say, an argument is provided I rebut it.

it dosen't mean you have to disagree with everything I say.

It I dont agree with it, I will. Thats what happens in the real world.

White batted no6, you are putting Hussey at 6, whats the difference other than White is a more capable slogger

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

Because there are things irrelevant that I delete and then it doesn't put it in a box it's weird.

I just find it funny how before our run in you would always agree or not say anything at all but these days everything I say you're there to contradict it.

HAve you ever heard of the saying" if you don't have anything positive to say don't say it at all" perhaps you should become more accustom to it.
 
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

Gentleman, I think it's fair to say that you both have differing opinions and that neither is any more valid than the other
(unless we get into quoting references and backing things up with peer reviewed studies/articles).

Everyone is entitled to air their views on here, as long as a basic element of repect is kept, as it is at the moment - let's keep it that way!

Because you occasionally delete the [/quote] tag from the end of the quote (you're not the only one who does it). No tag no box.

That's what I was thinking.

There are plenty of batsmen I'd rather have in the team over him.

grapedo;311642 said:

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

Cricinfo - Warner called back for ODI debut

David Warner will play his first one-day international on Sunday after being picked to replace Micheal Clarke, who was ruled out of the South Africa series with a thumb injury. Warner starred with a breathtaking 89 in the opening Twenty20 and was kept as cover for Clarke before being sent home to Sydney on Thursday when the vice-captain appeared to recover from a problem sustained during the Perth Test.

Okay then...

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.

No, that one was my fault as it was reading the [ /quote ] in the text and cutting the quote off there.

No disrespect here Mas.

Just arguing the point is all.

No harm in highlighting the respect element (although you two are doing fine).

Anyway, can we move on, back to roughly somewhere within the region of the thread title.

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.

Come again? A little bit SA bias coming through there

Hopes was rubbish, Bellerive provides assistance for spinners, where Tasmania have used three spinners at times in one game.

So every bowler in the Australian team will be targetted bar Bracken.

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

Warner out for 5 to a ripping delivery but also a poor shot.

Marsh is creaming anything wide and McKenzie dropped the Australian skipper when he was 10

Currently 1/70 off 15.1 Marsh 35 Ponting 25 RR 4.61
 
Re: South Africa in Australia

Mitch is resting for the first two games.

Please drop Hussey and White. It's Victoria's only chance. :(

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 runs
 
Re: South Africa in Australia

Punter caught out in the deep, made 64 off 72.

Marsh has just been dismissed off a leading edge, made 78.

3/166

Punter didnt manage Hilfy, Bracken & Tait well at the death, something Im sure he will rectify tomorrow.

Hell you won, why argue the point any more? Enjoy your victory.

We are coming for you tomorrow. @|
 
Re: South Africa in Australia

DUSS out to a shocking shot, caught at point.

Batting powerplay has netted 3 wickets, 2 boundaries and complete frustration for Australia and their supporters.

Quoting is most difficult when you multi quote something that dosen't need to be. I am merely sguestting reasons why South Africa won and you are arguing the point because you have some chip on your shoulder with me and can't do much more btu disagree with me. So what we had a run in at the wizards get over it ! it dosen't mean you have to disagree with everything I say.
