Cricket Web: All-Time Legend
Dire first spell from Ntini - keeps that up and my prediction of him being dropped before the series is out will be a lock

Top ball Morks. Insane bounce here, wish we lost the toss.

It's okay guys, we bat down to 16. (Y)

Another gone, the big wicket of Hussey! Great area from Morkel and safe catch from Kallis. Aussies seemingly in big trouble here.

Was disappointed Hughes went so early, was looking forward to seeing this guy with so much hope for the future. Looked a shocking shot for an opening bat, trying to keep down a cut shot that was bouncing over head height, but nerves inevitable played a major part.

Amazing that Ponting has made 31 of the 40 runs that have been scored off the bat.

It must be strange bowling to Ponting as a swing bowler. You set a field and bowl to a plan to get him caught behind the wicket driving outside the off-stump, and he promptly drives repeatedly outside the off stump and scores loads of runs. Or does he? ...

Australia surely will get to 300 with a lovely ton from Punter and fighting fifties from Clarke, North and Haddin!

Ponting batting really well, been severe typically on anything slightly short, and getting in a good stride when committing to the drive.

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!

SA have selected the same team that was hammered last time out and included a spinner on a pitch where our armchair geniuses think Oz should've selected 4 pacemen

They obviously dont have a ****ing clue how a wicket in their own backyard is going to play:laugh:
Hammer them? Are you joking? Are you forgetting thats the same side that put a whipping on the aussie boys the 2 tests before that? Also if Smith hadn't been crippled it would have been a draw. Unless this is a real greentop I can't see the Aussies taking 20 wickets.

It might be over byt he time you get there mate.
:p
Nah I imagine there will be some rain around..

Never seen such serious pessimism from the Aussies on here though, I guess not too used to being the underdog perhaps
