What the gently caress do his batting partners say to him - "Yeah gently caress it Shane, you couldn't possibly be out LBW review that poo poo!"?

tbh you may as well with him at 6; he's the last recognised batsman

when he was higher up the order it was dumb as poo poo though

Honestly at that point Johnson should have said you might as well it might have been a no ball. Its not going to make a difference now. I just think its funny that this is the way his test career probably ends.

When he dies CA will have his corpse stuffed and it will be wheeled out to bat. He gets out LBW in similar numbers post death.

Don't worry he is still probably a good enough ODI player to stink the joint up post ashes in 50 over cricket.

Oh well fun times if these two get to stumps. Rain tomorrow.

Bad move Root. Johnson will just hit it harder.

Unless Morkel bowled using Kallis's exact action for that one ball?

Well Johnson has done a great job of making the batsmen look stupid. Hopefully Lehmann noticed how stupid they are and makes changes.
