This is a strong team, I would like to see White slot in there I think he has alot to offer in his big hitting style of play.
 
Re: South Africa in Australia

Another across the line slog from Warner proves his downfall, Steyn crashes into his leg stump with a full and fast one.

1/114 in the 19th over. Warner out for 69, Marsh is starting to hit his straps with 36 off 53.
 
Re: South Africa in Australia

I think White needs to do a more consistent job with the bat in ODI's to hold down a place, sure he made a few runs in the T20 but so far that hasn't translated into ODI form.

Warner for me could be a massive over hyped kid that will just faid into obscurity. Sure the 20-20 innings was just awesome but I don't believe he deserved a chance at the 50 over game straight away. He is young, little first class cricket games and there are people in front of him from other states.

Klinger, Carseldine, Hodge, North........

Poor kid the media has wrecked his career, just completely wrecked it.

Insightful, thanks for that.

Yet he has chances to score in both games and has failed.

Opens for Qland in the T/20 so you would actually know he can wield the willow.

Exactly and that is why I think he is being wasted at number 8.

No need to be pandantic about it.
 
Re: South Africa in Australia

Marsh is stumped by Boucher giving Botha a wicket in his first over. Marsh went for the sweep but dragged his back foot out and Boucher had the bails off in a flash.

Marsh is gone for 43 and it's 2/149. Ponting 20 from 16, Mike Hussey 2 from 3.
 
Re: South Africa in Australia

Would maybe bat him at 7 but thats it.

Would be a waste to bat him in higher in the Australian lineup. @|
 
Re: South Africa in Australia

Mike Hussey runs himself out, ball was played towards de Villiers at backward point who then retured a sharp, flat throw to Boucher who whipped the bails off and Hussey was nowhere near getting back.

3/168 in the 28th over. David Hussey is in now. Australia would want to keep the wickets to a minimum for the next few overs with only Haddin and Hopes to come with the bat then it's the bowlers.

Disagree sorry. He is a very good opener in the shorter format him amd Marsh have opened together before and took attacks apart in the IPL. I think he could do a very good job opening the batting. And this option will be considered if Warner can't hit some runs in the next 2 games.

You must be joking.

Surely a poster of your knowledge and maturity would include the worlds best ODI bowler in that lineup?

M.Clarke is ruled out of the ODI series also.

Clarke has been ruled out of the remainder of the South African series due to his injured thumb needing more rest after Friday night's series-opening loss to the Proteas

Warner in as Clarke succumbs to injury - Cricket - Sport - theage.com.au

Unless that article is telling untruths of course.....
 
Re: South Africa in Australia

The article is correct

Hilfenhaus is out for the Aussies, Harris back to QLD and Johnson into the 12, otherwise same side from Hobart

Re: South Africa in Australia

Disgraceful from Steyn. Clearly kicked the stumps over.

He would have know it. Very, very dishonest.

I would still like to be more convinced on Heal's bowling ability.

Those are some pretty impressive figures. Heal's having a great summer so far and will only get better. A real chan ce to play one-day cricket for Australia in the next couple of seasons as is Xavier Doherty from Tasmania.

We've got to give these guys a go.

If South Africa had taken this cautious attitude Duminy never would have played.

You have to take risks to get the rewards.

Duminy wouldn't have played though if Prince hadn't have broken his thumb!

Don't credit them with having balls for picking him, when he has only been a fringe player who only played tour games for something like three tours in a row! ;)
 
Re: South Africa in Australia

Game 3 is underway, Tait and Hauritz come in for Hilfenhaus and White. South Africa have made no changes.


Australia XI: Shaun Marsh, David Warner, *Ricky Ponting, David Hussey, Michael Hussey, +Brad Haddin, James Hopes, Mitchell Johnson, Nathan Hauritz, Nathan Bracken, Shaun Tait

South Africa XI: Herschelle Gibbs, Hashim Amla, Jacques Kallis, AB de Villiers, Jean-Paul Duminy, Neil McKenzie, +Mark Boucher, Albie Morkel, *Johan Botha, Dale Steyn, Makhaya Ntini


Australia are off to a good start, 0/33 from 5.2 overs. Warner's going off early, 26 from 17 with 3 fours and a six. Marsh is 4 from 15.

Re: South Africa in Australia

And Morkel has won it for SA yet again.

Another close-ish game.

Well done to the SAffers.

Disappointing fielding by Australia.
