***Official*** Australia in South Africa

[Son Of Coco]

Great catch but what was the point of North batting?

Yeah was thinking the same thing, if he was looking for a few quick runs then someone like Johnson would have been better (although you'd probably just want to let him focus on bowling in the 2nd innings at this stage). North was sent out with no real purpose it seems. Would have been better declaring when Hughes got out.

 

[Burgey]

He didn't say that at all, you jump on someone that fails to accept that Australia is the greatest team in the universe

Oh waaaaaa.

Inferiority is Ernest and I claim my 5 pounds.

 

[Craig]

SA 1/0 already with Smith who can't bat.

Hmmm...if they make it to the final session on Day 5 I fully expect him to come out again for some heroics

 

[Johnners]

Nah, can't see him doing it again unless it's only an over or 2.

 

[Jono]

Would cement him as a legend if he did.

 

[Nate]

Fair call really.

Hilf needs a good performance here imo. Really don't see why he's in the side.

Well at the moment it's him or Geeves.

 

[Zinzan]

Excuse my ignorance on the matter, but what's Smith's injury this time?

Exactly!
How bad is that...

Bollinger must be hoping that Johnson/ Siddle/ McDonald get all the wickets so that he gets the nod for the third test.

 

[Johnners]

Excuse my ignorance on the matter, but what's Smith's injury this time?

Broken knuckle/little finger on his right hand (the opposite hand to which Johnson cleaned up last time).

 

[inbox24]

When's high tide comin' in guys? We need some wickets.

 

[Craig]

So where was this fight earlier?

 

[inbox24]

This pitch is flat as a tack, wouldn't surprise me too much if the Africans got away with a draw, although a draw would probably mean a win for them. It would give them massive momentum going into the 3rd test and with new guy(s) coming in, it'd be a great chance for them to level the series and retain the trophy.

I heard on the radio before that it was a double fracture above on the knuckle.

Haha, fail. Australia will win in a canter.

Can some one prod McKenzie during lunch to check whether he's still alive?

Seen his wife? No wonder he looks tired.
