Warne and McGrath would have had cleaned RSA up by now.

Both of them still under appreciated.

AB played the longest innings by any batsman in history without scoring a boundary: 220 balls 33 runs.

They gonna lose anyway so whats point of playing like a sissy? at least entertain the crowd...

I see what you did there

a little reverse psychology that may rub off on BD

A match saving test innings......if they manage to save....only if our players understood how to do that...

zsayeed · #**181** November 26, 2012, 12:13 AM

Mind you 220 balls with 0 4s and 0 6s!

Our players would have considered it to be a disgrace and be dying to hit a 4/6 from nowhere to get out.... They play for themselves and their ego...AB plas for the team and country... That's the class difference between him and our TIs...who would claim to be better than AB every now and then...

Watcing Faf on 98 and Hilfy and Siddle working him over - I wish there were no centuries - it seems its getting in the way of the draw just a tad - but not much. maybe its just me - a bit nervy.

Sovik · #**184** November 26, 2012, 12:45 AM

Wish our superstars are watching this test match.

cricman · #**189** November 26, 2012, 12:56 AM
