What's the logic in bringing Hammy in at this stage?

Probably this is when the point is driven home. If your new ball bowler goes down, how good is your first change bowler to take over the mantle? Tiripano's bowling does not look like he's going to get wickets even in his dreams. Surely his pace has come down from his debut test quite a bit

Heath should have known better, for the past 3 tests our bowlers were always at the mercy of the opposition batters,who were just not capable of penetrating through the top/middle order..Now with some grass on the wicket,does he suddenly envision them to flummox the batsmen?And then he fields two unfit players,let alone one of whom,obvs waller,shouldnt be on the team sheet in the first place!.SMh

Mumba can't bowl again for a while, has to match the amount of time he was off the field I think.

We really need to unearth some decent bowlers. Why can't we find some bloke who sprays it all over the place at 150km? We already have blokes spraying it around at 130. At least at 150 you might scare some batters with the short ball.

Is Mumba bowling slightly slower?

Just in, what did Waller do to himself?
