3rd Test: Australia vs South Africa, Newlands, March 1-5

[God Save Max King]

Clarke has already had one hell of an innings. Admirable will to keep on going.

 

[Mister B]

Argue with Michael Holding not me, he said exactly the same

Too many bouncers and intimidatory bowling are two different things though.

 

[Nostradumbass]

I've got a boner

A fear boner?

 

[Joffaboy]

Hope Clarke sticks it out.

Would love to see him get a score, showing great courage

 

[Ekomaira]

Test cricket. I love it. Heart is pumping. C'mon skip.

 

[BarryMorgan]

A fear boner?

The best kind.

 

[Ghostwriter]

Hot babes draining pints of booze.

Argue with Michael Holding, whom I dare say would know a bit more about fast bowling than any of us

Clarke is in a form slump, he is facing one of the best bowlers in the world who is targeting him with complete overs of short balls, has been hit on the forearm, on the head, etc, and he is still out there trying to grind out an important innings.

The mettle of a great player is not when he is in great form and clubbing centuries, it is when he is in bad form and being tested by brutal short deliveries and still grinds out a score. Does anyone doubt Clarke can do this?

Lots of women seem to watch the cricket in SA.

And lots of cameramen watch the women watching the cricket in SA.

 

[Righteo]

Was he really appealing?

 

[Sea fog]

Ironically enough bumper don't really get you out that often. Morkel overdoes the short stuff even if he is effective at roughing people up.

 

[Bradesmaen]

A fear boner?

Meanwhile Morkel has a war boner.

 

[Joffaboy]

He was not agreeing with you. He was pointing out that people are hypocrites - not that this is against the rules.

He said Morkel was bowling six bouncers an over and the Windies only bowled three orfour and they said it was bad for the game.

When is it legal to bowl six bouncers in one over?

 

[Quietasamouse]

Good to hear sense coming from Michael Holding. Morkels efforts will be for naught if he doesn't get Clarke. If Clarke does see him out then it is a massive waste of energy, considering Steins injury.

 

[Kakkle]

Imagine having a boner while batting.

Surely some has had an erection during batting.

 

[Ghostwriter]

And lots of cameramen watch the women watching the cricket in SA.

Thing is if you went to the cricket and took photos of women security would throw you out.

 

[Righteo]

Done well to see him off.

 

[TheHoneyBadger]

Be interesting to see how far Warner takes his innings. Ideal conditions, no Steyn..

 

[Mister B]

Was he really appealing?

I was more surprised that Smith wasn't jumping about the place. Let's face it. If he's not appealing it must have been miles off.

 

[TheHoneyBadger]

Thing is if you went to the cricket and took photos of women security would throw you out.

If you get caught.

 

[BarryMorgan]

Thing is if you went to the cricket and took photos of women security would throw you out.

They have to catch you first

Q de Kock.

Still didn't get him out though.
