The Harris over.
The ball out of the ground.
The Steyn over.
So close.
Will he, wont he.
The no ball.
The wicket.
The wicket.
The heartbreak.
The pain.
When you haven’t made a test hundred, and you are 96* with 2 wickets in hand, you would be pretty confident of making it to your hundred.
Especially when you have put on a 50 run partnership with the number 10.
It didn’t quite work out that way.
Peter Sizzle decided he was a batsman, not the stubborn number 10 he was designed to be.
You would think that going out off a no ball would have woken Sizzle up, it didn’t.
Next ball he played almost the same daft waft.
And out.
I wondered to myself if Hilfy could last 3 balls.
No he couldnt.
Due to the wrong camer being used, we didn’t even see the wicket.
It was clearly a mistake, but it was also fitting.
Like a horror film cutting away from the violence, but leaving you with your imagination.
Mitchell deserved better.
He batted like a batsman to 36, and like a angry warden for the next 60.
It was a glorious end to go with a stout start.
And it deserved more.
One day Mitchell.
He’ll get it one day, he’s a decent enough batsman but that Harris over was just WOW
Victorians = shit for brains
At national level, anyway
Well. Michael Johnson has all the trapping is a certain Warne. I reckon 96 will be his highest career score.
Man, that was just plain tragic! If it was for someone like North, I wouldn’t be too disappointed as he would get another chance. However, it is difficult to get support from the tail like he did from ‘Sizzle’.
What horatius says, however, does seem quite possible…..:O
Does Mitchell Johnson have a blog that he can whinge about it on?
[...] for some considerable time. A batsman of North’s ability lower down the order, combined with some promising batting from Mitchell Johnson, will help the Aussies cope without feeling the need to have Andrew Symonds in the side if his [...]
I do have some advice for MJ.
Go for the throat ala Katich The Crab. It may not increases that chances that you’ll get a single century in your career, but it’ll help you sleep a tad easier at night.
good day for Australia, not that the bbc would know. “South Africa strike back after north ton” in England this is the kind of piss poor jounalism is what we pay for.
CA, pls bring back grg chpl back as coach. I want to see mitch as opener(batting). And that will conveniently destroy his bowling as well.
[...] places in the Aussie World Twenty20 squad with strong performances against South Africa. Meanwhile, Mitchell Johnson’s recent batting form may mean he may be considered an all-rounder in the shorter format, [...]
