***Official*** Australia in South Africa

ROFL! Gets Hussey out.

 

[TT Boy]

Roela!

Going to bed. Ridiculous collapse after such a good start. Don't deserve the number one ranking by any stretch of the imagination.

Don't give up.

Botha has started bowling better. The required RR is 7.8 RPO. Need both Ponting and Hussey to bat to have a chance of winning and I am not too sure about Ponting's batting against spinners in general.

Ponting needs to play the proverbial captain's knock.

Weird to see the RR blow out after such a barnstorming start.

 

[DaRick]

As soon as Australia sees a spinner, they crumble.

Dire, dire stuff.

 

[alternative]

Don't give up.

Give up. So happy i swear.

 

[inbox24]

It's pointless watching a game like this grinding into the dirt. There's no chance of victory, and the play is not exciting to warrant watching.

 

[Stapel]

Good recovery by Botha. He really got smashed in his first over.

 

[oitoitoi]

These SA spinners are doing the job Indian spinners are expected to do but so rarely deliver.

I have a feeling Morkel is going to taken for a ride in this spell by Ponting.

They could bowl Duminy instead of him. The way they're playing spin they could go for a three-pronged spin attack.

Smith disagrees. Steyn into the attack.

Hit for 4.

 

[Shri]

10 scored off the first 3 balls.

STEYN!!! Hussey gone.

 

[Shri]

Ponting slowed AUS down and wasted the momentum given by Haddin and Clarke imo. Should have scored at a better SR or he should have atleast rotated the strike.

 

[TT Boy]

Awesome effort from the spinners once again, especially considering the Aussies spinners went for over 70 off their ten.

PowerPlay taken.

Can Ponting do it?

 

[Top_Cat]

Dammit, wish I could watch this. Absolutely love it when Ponting cuts loose.

EDIT: Oh well, there goes that then.

No.
