To be honest I don't follow T20 closely enough.  I'm an out-and-out test man.

At least we've avoided a follow-on. No shame in a draw vs. SA.

Unfortunately I think we're going to have to take what we can get this series.

At least Huss got his century. We can (and should) just go for it now. Want to see some boundaries.

re: Cricket Thread

Maybe one of you guys can help me, because I've had this argument a couple of times and I still can't wrap my head around it. Why do we need a lead of 150? Why couldn't we have declared, say, last night with 10 overs to go, maybe snag Smith or Pietersen, and give us the maximum time possible to bowl them out?
The only possible way we can win is if we get all ten wickets, on such a great track, I don't know why we didn't just back our bowlers. Batting for a session today strikes me as a defensive tactic.

If it's because our bowlers did shit on day 1, I don't see how giving them less time to bowl the South Africans out makes any sense.
The 2nd reason is what I keep hearing, but that doesn't make sense to me either. If and when the South Africans bat again, they won't be playing for the win, they'll just try to bat the day out. There's no pressure on them to make the 150 at all, the pressure's to not get out - and once again, I would've thought that a tougher ask if they had to bat for longer.

Guess it doesn't matter now anyway. Clarke's kinda split the difference by declaring today, but earlier than most expected.

Also a side note, anyone here the commentator (not sure which one) actually refer to Rob Quiney's inning of 9 outstanding???? Holy crap....we need Tony Greig back....these guys are freaking ridiculously bad/arrogant.
You must be joking.

I'd be dropping Quiney for Watson, personally.

I'm sure the media will pay all the attention to Siddle, but *bleep* me, what an innings from Du Plessis on debut.

Well shit, that was anticlimactic. Adios Punter, arguably the greatest Australian test batsman in history.
Well, behind the Don anyway. Also, new thread. Been around for a while too.  The sad part is, I've already posted many times in this 'new' thread.  Also, when I said arguably I meant including the Don.
