***Official*** Australia in South Africa

[Burgey]

Well TBF Underbelly IS a cracker of a show.

Haha - Sidzzzzz!!!!

Damn shame - deprives me of seeing a fresh Johnson dish it up to Steyn's jawline.

Edit: Or Ntini's.

3-37 does not do justice to how well Johnson bowled.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Good job Siddle! Was a bit worried we wouldn't mop up the tail...glad to see it happen so quickly. Wonder what Ponting will do.

 

[Redbacks]

Perfect start to the morning. As McDonald would say

"Two early wickets really....."

Hopefully he can take out a couple more in the second innings

Looks like we will bat with our openers running up to the rooms

IF everything goes to plan how much would Aus look to put on here? I'd imagine they'd try and bat out till tomorrow before lunch if they could, grinding them into the gorund.

 

[Johnners]

Hughes/Katman to put on another 150 imo.

If conditions to bat don't improve, anything over 200 would be nice and but a lead of 500 would close the door.

Yeah hopefully they won't be complacent and they take their time to get in and pay respect to Steyn especially. Playing shots like Hussey in the first match and Ponting in the last innings is just asking for trouble.

 

[NUFAN]

Just bat for as long as possible today and reassess tomorrow if we are still in.

PLENTY of time to go.

Casual six from the Katman. Where is everyone today?

You mean on the ground or on CW?

I'm not watching this - just too depressing.

On CW. Crowd sounds pretty immense, very vocal and active although looks like a lot of empty seats.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Not sure about the Saffer's plan to bounce Hughes a lot, he hasn't seemed to show a great deal of interest so far. Tight in the ribs is a chance but Steyn seems to be sending a majority sailing over his head.

 

[Burgey]

Everyone else loving the cricket-a-thon this weekend?

Today went


This mactch
WI v England (to cure the insomnia)
Women's WC Aus v NZ
NZ v India
This match again.

No wonder I'm buggered.

 

[Zinzan]

Without taking credit away from Australia, I honestly can't believe SA have fallen over the way they have in this series. Hasn't even been close thus far. It's almost as if they put so much emphasis on the series in Australia & forgot about this return series.

WI v England (to cure the insomnia)

Imagine it would have left you with a whole heap of other mental illnesses in the process though

 

[duffer]

I think South Africa took their eyes off the prize after winning in Australia and the Aussies are the team who feels they have the most to prove now. They've been awesome these two matches, as determined as I've ever seen them.

Indeed, beware of any wounded Australian sports-team
