South Africa v Australia | 2nd Test | Port Elizabeth | Day 2 | 21/02/2014

[Convict]

Begs the question as to why they couldn't do this in Centurion

 

[Justcrazy]

12 overs left , Aussies shut down the shop now

 

[Mr Consistent]

lovely shot by clarke 4 runs

 

[Justcrazy]

Parnell to Clarke, FOUR, that's a Clarke special. This time the weight comes forward, drives this slightly on the up, but he is close to its line, and drives this past cover

 

[Mr Consistent]

sa should win this then third match will be interesting

 

[Convict]

Avoiding the follow on is vital

 

[Mr Consistent]

another beauty by warner 4 runs

 

[Justcrazy]

:4 more

Trail by 358 runs now.

 

[Buffet]

Begs the question as to why they couldn't do this in Centurion

Aus batted better there. For example - Marsh did something which he avoided in centurion. There is not much in this pitch if you bat well and don't try to force the issue.

 

[Justcrazy]

Avoiding the follow on is vital

Yes , that would mean SA will bat another couple of sessions at least.

 

[Mr Consistent]

Avoiding the follow on is vital

don't wory aussies will do it

70 / 3

 

[Sam18696]

Morkel's bowling hasn't been good today.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

SA has some real depth in their fast bowling stocks. Meanwhile, Clarke trying to take the attack to SA. Some real aggressive cricket between these two teams. Won't be like the Ashes at all where England surrendered meekly.

 

[Convict]

don't wory aussies will easy do it

And if we do it the draw would loom as the most obvious outcome.

Yep. The Saffers were always going to hit us hard but Warner and Clarke will always go down swinging

 

[Mr Consistent]

4 by warner

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

Runs coming now , are SA over attacking here , need to be a tad careful

 

[Mr Consistent]

And if we do it the draw would loom as the most obvious outcome.

if they get one or two big partnerships then clarke will try to win this

 

[Justcrazy]

148 to avoid follow on here.

 

[Convict]

if they get one or two big partnerships then clarke will try to win this

If we fluked our way to scoring 550+ this innings then yes.
Clarke is an aggressive captain but he is realistic.

 

[Haz95]

Warner the hack is being a hack...

[Mr Consistent]

aussies run rate 4.75

 

[Mr Consistent]

CATCH DROPPED

 

[Buffet]

AB, please hold those catches. Warner can do a huge damage if he plays till the lunch.

 

[Convict]

aussies run rate 4.75

Warner is Warner

 

[Justcrazy]

Catch dropped

 

[Justcrazy]

81 / 3

 

[Sam18696]

AB did a Kami.

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership 40 runs.

 

[Mr Consistent]

If we fluked our way to scoring 550+ this innings then yes.
Clarke is an aggressive captain but he is realistic.

if warner plays two sessions more then they have little chance

 

[Convict]

Smith also had a realistic chance of catching on the rebound

 

[Sam18696]

Bring in a spinner already already

 

[Mr Consistent]

clarke

 

[Justcrazy]

Philander back !!

 

[Haz95]

Clarke out

[Sam18696]

Finally

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Mr Consistent]

aussies need big partnership here

 

[Convict]

Disappointing. Really need to avoid the follow on

 

[Anfield]

Big wicket for proteas. Can't afford to be complacent like the last time.

 

[Buffet]

One more wicket today. Preferably, Warner.

 

[Haz95]

Huuuuuuuge wicket

[Mr Consistent]

night watchman time

 

[Sam18696]

Lyon the night watchman

 

[Mr Consistent]

Disappointing. Really need to avoid the follow on

clarke wicket=huge loss once again all eyes on smith haddin and warner

 

[Convict]

Gazza going to save the day. Hasn't lost his wicket in nearly 200 days

 

[Robert]

Come on the Yarps, you've got them on the ropes!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Need to get Warner out asap. Need to give 3-4 overs to Steyn now and see what he can do. SA have to be ruthless here and steal the momentum from the last match.

 

[Mr Consistent]

warner lucky again

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies using a night watchman

 

[Justcrazy]

SA can get another here .

 

[proteyeah]

Morkel is bowling far quicker than Johnson. Even Parnell was.

 

[WebGuru]

Poor Lyon under African attack

 

[Justcrazy]

Morkel bowling beautifully here.

 

[Mr Consistent]

beauty by morkel

 

[Justcrazy]

Lot of purpose in African bowling.

 

[Jabo]

here we go...

Poor Lyon.

 

[soso_killer]

Good bowling Morkel kill him

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies need to survive here.

 

[Justcrazy]

SA would love another here.

 

[Mr Consistent]

another excellent over by morkel

 

[Bilal7]

Great bowling by the Saffers.

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia RR 4.42

 

[Nikhil_cric]

If Lyon can't be dismissed he certainly might be knocked out. Hostile hostile stuff from Morne. Revenge for McLaren

 

[Robert]

Good bowling Morkel kill him

Harsh!

(Come on Morks, cut him in half.....)

 

[EarthBoltX]

Morkel's bowling hasn't been good today.

 

[Mr Consistent]

DA Warner Should protect his night watchman

 

[EarthBoltX]

Yes, Morne, bring the hurt.

 

[Mr Consistent]

for warner well played

 

[soso_killer]

Philander should not try to imitate Morkel when it comes to line and length. He should bowl full to Lyon, set a double bluff field by having men catching around the bat but bowl full.
He is not quick enough for that.

 

[Justcrazy]

for warner

 

[Justcrazy]

5 overs left

 

[Strike Rate]

Harsh!

(Come on Morks, cut him in half.....)

Thats pretty harsh!..............c'mon morne break his skull into 4 pieces!

 

[Justcrazy]

These 5 overs would be tough for Aussies.

 

[soso_killer]

Harsh!

(Come on Morks, cut him in half.....)

obviously it was not literal nor a death threat. But he should send him to hospital next to poor McLaren

 

[Justcrazy]

Morkel would pitch one up soon , Trap

 

[Convict]

Gazza's a tough lad.

 

[Justcrazy]

Three slips, a gully, two short legs, a short cover

 

[Justcrazy]

Vintage fast bowling
