***Official*** Australia in South Africa 2013/14

[theegyptian]

What?

Warner edges to slip via the keeper and doesn't walk. Exactly the same as Broad during the 13 ashes (except this time the umpire gives it).

Last time 100's of posts on here about Broad a ****, cheat, whatever.... plus loads of press, outraged aussie journalists. This time nothing. Similarity of the dismissals doesn't even warrant a mention on here?

You're actually just making this up. Good stuff though.

With Marsh dominating and Doolan playing well and clover being spread everywhere, I will leave Australian posters with the thought that maybe it's not always good policy to just read the shield averages and pick off that list.

Can you clarify the thing i'm making up? Maybe I'm making a mistake somewhere.

 

[Slifer]

I know this is the first test, but Australia (regardless of form) just seem to always lift their game when it comes to South Africa. This test is surely Australia's to lose from here on out!!

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So only thing to deny Australia a win here will be rain which won't happen. Been a demolition job so far.

I'm pretty sure he's not available for selection, but Johan Botha would seriously be a better option.

I'm pretty sure they'd take back Paul Harris or Nicky Boje if they could.

 

[Pothas]

Yeah Harris must seem like a golden age. Quite a few sides struggling to find a spinner that won't get smashed at the moment.

 

[Tangles]

We really need to bottle the form MJ is in. Only been watching the highlights but some great stuff. Expected more from the Saffers with bat and ball itbt.

Wtf is up with cricinfo changing to a flash interface? It's 2014 dickwads.

Kallis' slip catching being missed as well in addition to his other abilities. SA shouldn't get as bad as India though. Might need a few days to sort it out.

 

[uvelocity]

aw **** yea

 

[Adders]

FMD these ****s really are back aren't they?

 

[Flem274*]

fmd australia are getting pretty good pretty fast

 

[Spikey]

it's like those two series that came out of nowhere were not a good predictive measure re whether australian cricket was done

Spikey and uvelocity seem to be online, yes.

 

[Adders]

I still want to know that they are being drug tested. Perhaps it isn't a beer culture Boof has brought to the table but more a James Hird method

 

[uvelocity]

gonna have to drop siddle for watson bois

 

[GotSpin]

Carn Straya! Give 'em the golden shower.

 

[GotSpin]

But seriously. Amazing stuff. Was almost expecting a traditional collapse after Rogers was bowled. Oh boy. So good

tbf, batsmen coming into the team averaging 40 in domestic cricket is not quite the same as someone like Hussey debuting after the age of 30. It did look like the depth had reduced massively.
