Drowning himself by the Coolabah tree,

You'll never catch me alive, said he,

You great goat.
Originally posted by TetsujinYes, the game was a disgrace really. I mean, cricket is about bowlers too - not just batsmen. It would have been a much better game on a wicket offering something for the bowlers and a score(s) around 260 or so..
This game was a disgrace.
I don't care who won, I love watching test cricket. If you don't, go screw yourself.
Not everyone needs to hit like shahid friggin afridi... ðŸ˜

Then everyone would be singing Australia's praises for kicking SA's asses all over the Wanderers.
The Wanderers pitch is basically always a 300+ wicket, both teams just batted very aggressively and pulled it off.
SA actually knuckled down and made a game of it, breaking records left and right. Now the pitch gets all the blame.
Ugh.

Although I'm sure you will find a lower score than that on every single ODI pitch in the world.
On the day the pitch report was that this was a 300 wicket and this is usually the 'easiest' pitch in SA to bat on.
