South Africa v Australia; Second Test at St George's Park, Port Elizabeth.

[PhatBoy]

Like you did whilst suspended?

Rofl. I went overseas you penis.

I posted until stumps on day one during Test one which, shock horror, was three hours before I left the co7ntry.

But yeah nah suspended ay

Darren Parkin doesn't have a mellifluous voice to listen to.

 

[roscreasl98]

Smith failed with the bat again, I am shocked to be sitting here!

Your alter ego has signed off....
How many BF profiles do you have Hodgey (aka Brisbane Legend)???

 

[eddiesmith]

Forgetting his bump on Smith in the first innings, I really fail to see how his ‘send off’ of Warner is any different to every wicket Starc has ever taken...

Also is getting in a batsman’s face after you have bowled him really worse or more floggish than abusing them after they have hit you for 4?

 

[Blue1980]

It won't be an innings defeat. People are like cats on a hot tin roof. Not looking good but the attitude is defeatist.

ABDV turned things around. One of these just has to bat like him!

Even if we do capitulate and lose by an innings I wouldn’t be calling for 7 changes like some on here would be

 

[Woody15]

Never made a mistake yourself?

Made plenty. Wasnt saying I hadnt.

So because you cant change Smiths decision at the toss, and I have made mistakes in my life, I cant query Smiths decision to bat first?

Suspension is nothing to be ashamed of......

Neither is stupidity. Embrace it.

Can one of the mods here put Mel Gibson out of his misery and confirm that I indeed wasn’t suspended?

Bump wasn’t good, and with priors it’s pretty dumb.

Facing a suspension not sure why he’s still needlessly doing the aggressive send offs.

Starc has never really got into too much trouble, send offs nothing more than a normal fast bowler really.

I love Rabada just don’t think he’s being very smart at the moment

People have selective interpretations on here. McGrath used to love a send off but was a great bloke apparently. I thinks it's good theatre, minus physical contact.

Smith got a bit of KP syndrome it seems

Khawaja's average outside Australia: 15.69

 

[Doc_]

Theres nothing wrong with a good send off.
Bloody batsmen want everything their way.

 

[RookiePick]

Wouldnt surprise me in the least if we go down by an innings here. The underbelly is still worryingly soft.

 

[Blue1980]

Khawaja's average outside Australia: 15.69

25.69

 

[Ciderhound]

But he has been getting out to the spinners, ball moved plenty 4 years ago in sa and he made runs because he didn't get out to a sla early in his knock.

A summer of playing on lifeless australian decks is not the ideal preparation for ol smudgy. His home record trumps his overseas record due to this.

 

[010203]

25.69

Thanks. I've done Khawaja a disservice there. Still not good enough though from a number 3.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

No, England won 3 - 2 against NZ.

Maybe he'll go and get pissed to try and forget. 3 week bender sounds about right

Narrowly losing is a moral victory or the ramrooters

Lol don't think anyone reckons McGrath is a good bloke - and I love sledging

Piss weak Marsh

 

[010203]

Shaun Marsh out

 

[Doodlesweaver]

FFS Shaun

 

[Drummond]

Bye bye Marsh you hack.

 

[Moonwatcher]

The Marsh brothers have talent but you just expect nothing scores from them with a scattering of big ones.

 

[yakka man]

Rabada is a freak.

 

[Blue1980]

He’s more Mitch Johnson batting standard overseas than Nathan Lyon

 

[Torz]

That’s a brain fade.
