***Official*** South Africa In Australia

Can't wait until McDonald comes on to bowl. Think he'll do quite well in these conditions.

First impressions of McDonald's bowling (after three deliveries): A slightly quicker Paul Collingwood.

I'm not sure why, but I always crack up when I watch Clarke chasing a ball to the boundary. The way he juts his arms out at the side makes him look like a little kid.

This test match is obviously the first time any non-Australian would had the chance to see Bollinger bowl live

Except for when he played in county cricket, obviously.

EDIT: And the Indians who get Australian domestic one day cricket live.

Sounds fair. Will get some good movement though imo.

Don't think he'll do much with it here, though if anyone in the side will it's probably him.

A group of men drinking too much lager watching the cricket chanting 'Get 'em out!' at a group of ladies. If there was a barbecue and a surfboard added it would be the most Australian scene ever shown on TV.

He really needs to keep his length. Can see him getting an LBW, or maybe a caught behind at one that goes away.

 

[aussie]

He has played in England before, obviously you would know this though.

Except for when he played in county cricket, obviously.

Yea but none of his games where televised. I meant no Englishman on CW would have had the chance to see Bollinger bowl before this test basically.

Maybe SpaceMonkey given he is lives in worcestershire, but i doubt it.

Will Graeme Smith be batting again in this match or later on in this innings?

 

[pasag]

Siddle!!!

 

[Craig]

McKenzie out.

 

[alternative]

Arghh!!!

 

[pasag]

Bollinger's first spell was really good for a debutante under pressure on a slowish pitch against good batting. Only going to get better.

Doubt it, looked in heaps of pain.

 

[susudear]

Good Riddance

Such a waste. When since "Mc" has become prefix for direness?

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Doubt it, looked in heaps of pain.

Yeah looked in trouble. Wouldn't be surprised if he took an injection and came out at #11 in both innings though.

My first impression was how handsome he makes Scott Styris look tbh
