Those pair single-handedly won the match.

Grumble grumble from this QLDer ....

Sorry not sorry.

And where TF is security.

Trying to catch the dude that nicked the stump!

Those stumps belong to the players. Shameful.

Got him, yeeeess!

Oh I'll bet he'll be charged with assault and the cricketers will pay his bail coz he got their stump back.

Well that was very ordinary imo. Maybe the selectors were trying a few things before this summer's ashes, dunno? Can't really take anything away from SA, particularly after their first innings. Things may have been different if Smith had held that catch and not broken his finger.

So we pick a guy to open that doesn't usual open, correct me if I'm wrong, plus according to reports, he is close to being dropped, just to add some more pressure on him......

Then we pick an all-rounder that at moment can't bowl and has had a fairly mediocre season so far in division TWO of the county championship, although he did score two centuries against division two teams.

As above for the opener, now let's make it extra tough for him and put him at first drop, has he played there before, don't think so? Please correct me if I'm wrong. First innings a very lucky 4 off what seemed to be a bottom edge, two balls later, bowled.
Second innings, didn't manage to trouble the scorers! Zero first ball, out the next. So a total of 5 balls for 4 runs, that worked well, didn't it!

Unlucky to loose the toss, would have been a good one to win.

Yep, as I have said, very easy to comment from the sidelines, the poms must be rubbing their hands with glee.

So, who do you pick for the West Indies, or again, just treat it as a bit fun?

Our bowlers have papered over the cracks for a while. We did take this game as a bit of a joke but we will switch back on for the Windies (well I hope as I’ll be over there for it)
Probably a couple of changes to the batting lineup as we will try to get some sort of lineup sorted for the Ashes

Disappointing performance


And lacked inspiration and grit
