South Africa v Australia; Third Test at Newlands, Cape Town

[Doc_]

Each team gets an ICC approved lozenge or piece of plastic or pair of false teeth to use on the ball depending on the ground. Could bring an interesting new dynamic to test cricket!

I think you're showing your age.
Everybody should get a trophy too.

 

[Wolfs]

Hopefully we wouldn't kick up as fuss like the Indians did when Tendulkar was caught for it. Poor Mike Denness.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Better than Kallis against us

 

[Doc_]

Hang the perpetrators up by the balls.
One does not disgrace our country like that.

To be really honest, Lehmann sounded like a total jerk when he was criticising the behaviour of the Sth. African crowds. Australian crowds have more than their fair share of flogs that go to the cricket. Lehmann has lost the plot and as the coach, he sets the culture of the team. In my book, Lehmann is past his use by date and fresh blood is needed to lead this Australian cricket team.

I have never rated him as a coach, team has been as poor away as they were under Mickey but early in boofs coaching gig Johnson was on fire so he got this reputation for turning the side around.

I cracked up laughing when I heard him say that because Australians do that too. Actually the English, Pakistanis, Indians, and Sri Lankans do too. It is the crowds. Just that in Australia there isn't much between the players and crowds.

Mitch Marsh for captain!!!

Before this series I would have said ffs Bancroft and hoped he just accepted his ban but now I say screw that facts don't matter just muddy the waters and blame outside forces for whatever your lot did wrong and you might get away with it.

Not sure the point you're trying to make, but OK.

Oh Boof and Devereux....what have you guys done.

I feel it is more Boof than Smith.

Fireworks went off from the rugby stadium next door. Go Reds!

 

[augiewaz]

anyone know if Smith is back on the field?

Win or lose, i think Smith would rather not be involved in stuff like what we've seen today and the stuff from Durban. Lehmann doesn't give a toss. Winning i think is everything to him and stuff the way his team is perceived.

 

[jr4jane2004]

This ABD is killing us. Surely Boof and Smith and co have got plans/back up plans to get him out.

 

[IKnowtheDog]

Guess this means Bucks and Dan Andrews will be bumped from the front pages now

 

[Doc_]

Deep poo poo

 

[Fat Nyfe]

It's about to hit the fan

 

[wolmeister]

Doesn't matter. Cheating is cheating.

Bancroft and Smith should both be suspended. He didn't hatch this up on his own

But they would need to prove Smith had anything to do with it. Aust will hang Bancroft out to dry...just watch.

14,000 a good crowd? Shithouse even for Hobart.

It’s a distant third for popularity. why wouldn’t it be considered a good crowd for them?

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

This whole series will come down to this despite the Saffers breaking more laws.

Yeah I'm sure a kid from Western Australia is gonna ****ing ball tamper. Get a ****ing life.

 

[Freak Dodgeball Accident]

Where can you find the full press conference replays? I'm heading to bed, got it recording but not sure if they show it on Fox.

Oh they will. Might check cricket.com.au too. They are independent from Cricket Australia in a way.

Lmfao.

Hasn’t come down to Australia shitting it’s pants with bat in hand or having no answer to De Villiers has it.

 

[PhatBoy]

Based on his other innings this series, SA probably would have chased that massive target in Durban if AB didn’t get run out.

 

[Donnie Darko]

If you run through all the camera footage from the series , there might be more incidents.
Bancroft was sloppy and got caught out this time. Its hard to believe the one time they get caught , was the only time they did it.
