Should have played instead of Symonds earlier this summer.

Duminy spins it away from the left hander whereas Harris doesn't (lol). Obvious, really.

What a great moment for Marcus North and Australia!
Quality innings from him.

So a first choice spinner cant bowl to a tail-ender because he's left-handed but a bastman can?

Ah North. 
Absolutely fantastic and he's made myself and some mates quite a bit of money. Once more.
I really like his technique in this Australian lline-up. I think it's really important to have players with different techniques in your side, and too many Australian players want to push hard down the ground. North has been sublime square of the wicket and it's really made a difference.
If Johnson and Siddle can hang in there, North could make a big one. Heck, Johnson could make a big one.

And as far as I can remember it's been chanceless? Seriously, if Ponting had played this innings it would be one of his best ever.

Problem for SA is that apart from Steyn their attack is reasonably ordinary even if Ntini can bowl the odd pearler. Their record at bowling at the tail is appalling. Even struggled against Bangladesh in SA on at least one occasion.

Well neither are going to be particularly effective on this deck, I can see why Smith would want to go for the one that's going to take it away from the batsmen, especially Johnson who does like to go for his drives.So a first choice spinner cant bowl to a tail-ender because he's left-handed but a bastman can?

Awesome awesome awesome awesome!
Great to see North get a ton on debut and go Mitchell Johnson!
I hope they take 3 or 4 quick wickets now when they eventually bowl. Just wish I could watch it!

Yes I don't think it's a bad move to give Duminy some overs. As you say, turning the ball away from someone like Johnson is probably going to cause more problems than Harris turning it into him.
