Potentially over in 3 1/2 days with one of those days lost to rain unless we get some serious rudder action.

All out for 161, SA won by an innings and 80 runs.
8/32 this morning
Holy shit.
Find some blokes who can make runs when the ball is doing something. That is all.
Still not playing enough GolfLink | Slightly less terrible stats brought to you by Golfshot - F: 57%, GIR: 23%, UD: 14%, P: 34. Wow, improvement! | Nickent brand ho or tightarse? You be the judge!

****ing useless.
I hope we don't have to play Bangladesh or Zimbabwe any time soon.
Prior to the last two Tests i'd have been extremely confident, they are pretty ordinary here and we had been strong at home recently but now it's looking interesting.
Pakistan have improved quite a bit and have a excellent batting side. Amir will also be improving and could well hit his straps out here. If he does he will be a real handful.

Can see those who've never played county cricket for extended periods.20/20 is killing aussie test batsman.
India are ranked #1 in the world in Test cricket.
Their players play more T20 cricket on flat wickets than anyone.
T20 cricket is not the problem. Every country plays T20 cricket, including the one that jsut handed us our arse.

unfortunately, that one doesn't stack up. Burns, Voges, and Ferguson have all played some County Cricket. Indeed, in the age of year round tests and other cricket, county cricket isn't strong any longer. Virtually none of the best players play. Not even the best English guys.
I don't have any answers, but I hope Ferguson gets another test at home. There are some Shield games this weekend. It could be that anyone who makes runs will get a chance.
"There are 50 things to remember in the golf swing. Trouble is that I can only remember 49 of them" - Bob Hope.
They've also tightened the rules making it harder for overseas players to play county cricket
so you keep saying.
Are you actually comparing Indian batting technique to Australian? Chalk v cheese?
Wristy elegant players on flat pitches against a country keen to make fast cash attempting to take bash and barge to test cricket, unsuccessfully? i think the general argument is that the Aussie techniques is flawed for some reason, and that 20/20 won't be helping them?
I'm also sure we could bat on flat pitches too, but we seem unable to prepare a pitch that suits us? If anyone knew what sort of pitch that was
Pitch won't matter if it starts reversing. They'd still get us out on concrete LOLOL
First thing we need to do is introduce the Duke balls to Shield, which is happening in the second half of the season. I would also be having the curators prepare greener wickets. Force better batting techniques and adaption. Possibly even pick out one ground/state wicket and build it up as close to being a spinners paradise as we can.

Interesting times?
Australia's coach Darren Lehmann has guaranteed the places of just four members of the Hobart Test XI. On a day South Africa completed a dominant series victory, the Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland and high performance chief Pat Howard joined former players for introspective talks on the state of the team in the Bellerive Oval dressing room.
Lehmann, who has been told to "reinvent himself" by Howard, stated that only the captain Steven Smith, his deputy David Warner and the pacemen Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood are safe from the axe ahead of next week's day-night Test in Adelaide. All members of the team apart from Starc, Hazlewood and the seamer Joe Mennie are to play in the Sheffield Shield round starting on Thursday, in a departure from previous plans.

Has it gone to shit ever since rugby expert Pat Howard was in charge of performance?
