I'm English but I watched SA vs Aus yesterday instead of that tripe on Sky Sports two. Nothing beats a test match on day 5.

Likewise....I actually watched the end of that in favour of the WI/Eng ODI!

I watched both,


Test match was on the larger format though. And odi just in the corner incase something happened....

I am in the same boat as Smiley, one on the telly, one on the laptop...

I must admit I was definitely more interested in the test match.  Pure theatre!

I found the WI ODI series a tad boring... maybe it was just the pitch...

There was 3 exciting bits, one when root was in the 90s, one were butler was in the 90s. And the 2balls random was in his 90s!

I love I batsman to get a ton(especially when it's a first as them 2 were first odi tons, and one would have been). As I like to see any player reach achievements. And get nervous when watching. Lol

Agree, I was even excited when David Warner was in the 90's for his second ton... until he started kicking the ball away and stopped trying to score... that wore on even my patience...

I was nervous for Michael Clarke (even though he had 27 hundreds or whatever he has... I just thought that innings deserved the 3 figures after getting Morkelled).  He was nervous too with his bat calling and running.  JP Duminy was just so relaxed in his 90s... he must be a really chilled out guy considering he was fighting for his spot in this series.

I was also nervous for Harris when he was on 99 wickets (as he genuinely might never play another test match).

7 over slog
SA already off to a slow start.

Amla slogging looks horrible and gets out.

Maybe miller should have opened

[smilley792]

7 overs is when you need Richard Levi!


Some huge amounts of sawdust used!



Hogg playing at 43! Go on son.

[smilley792]

De cock going big guns now,


Why only bowl Hogg one over? He went for 5 yet the quickies have been smashed! All I'm double figure economies.

aussies seem to want a bigger score to chase?
fielding was pretty poor, warner not going for 2 catches, faf giving a massive edge to the keeper and the bowler not appealing

[smilley792]

Pitch just tried to kill benhardien!!

[smilley792]

And Warner looking so good. 21 of first over!

[A-Swing-And-A-Miss]

Think someone's gunna need to have a word with Warner and tell him to play abit more aggressively. He's only on 20 off 7 balls.

[Torque]

Warner's bat looks heavily oiled.

Shame it's only 7 over game, some massive 6's already!
