That rain came fast! Chuff me. Good decision by the umps.

[Alvaro]

Need a counterattacking 40/50 from Robbie Peterson here...

Looks like he's perfected the Stuart Broad brown trouser to square leg technique....

[Cedrictoad]

The rain couldn't have come at a better time for SA.

Now ABV's arm can heal and hopefully someone will point out to Petersen that batting from square leg (or that weird premeditated walking across of his stumps) is only going to increase the likelihood of him getting hit.

Stand in line man!

Method behind the madness from Robbie Petersen mate, next Test is at Port Elizabeth, so if Mitch doesn't hit him he won't miss his home Test!

Quite a few Shrey helmets on show today. Has anybody got any strong opinions on these?

Any off our South African members have any links to own news channels that do good coverage off cricket?

Wanna read to see if your press our as bad as the English was after Johnson got a few with the short ball.

Clarke fails again, how long till his form is questioned?

Really you think he is that out of touch? He made 2 tons in the Ashes! I don't think you can count him as out of form just yet? Brad Haddin got out really cheap playing a poop shot, is he out of form? Rogers out cheap is he out of form? Come on seriously

i am not looking at 1 innings

Clarke last 7 test innings. 24, 23, 10, 6, 10, 6, 23. if that's great form then cool.

I wasn't looking at one innings either, but 2 tons in a series means your in pretty good form, no one ever ( apart from Bradman ) will score massive in every innings, if he failed for 20 innings then sure let's have a look at form. But then he is one of they best test bats going around so I doubt that would happen

no doubt Clarke is a great batsmen. and i am not suggesting he would be dropped. but players have been questioned for less.
i personally believe it is playing on Clarkes mind to. it would have given him and excuse to drop to his favoured number 5 atleast.

people have been dropped for less, look at Hughes kajawa etc etc.


hopefully once Johnson finishes off the sa tailment. he'll have a decent seconds innings

I totally agree people have been dropped for less and should be given a chance but remember Clarke got dropped pretty early on in his career too, Phillip Hughes will get his chance the guy is 24, and will be a main stay for a long time, kajawa has had a lot of chances and failed very bad in all of them! I would like to see Watson Dropped has a test player, he is made of glass and can't handle the pressure it puts on his body!

[smilley792]

Watson may not get back in if marsh and doolan do a good job.
marsh did his part already.

One can only hope they do well

[13th Man]

The last couple of posts, make a great point, Watson may not get back in if these guys perform, that whats Brad Hodge thought  after his great performances   

Of course Watson will be back in the team!

Not that I am a Clarke fan but seriously who'd Captain the side?  He's up there with the best in recent times.
