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

[Beleg]

that helmet of duminys seems well too big for his head...

 

[ajdude]

doolan should've caught that instead of crouching the *****

 

[dermo]

jesus that was close

 

[dermo]

with a new ball still to come this is australia's day, 400+ pitch imo

 

[Spark]

Yeah, definitely taking that score given the pitch.

 

[dermo]

word coming in from benchmark00 pty ltd that tomorrows morning session will be crucial

 

[ajdude]

Yeah, definitely taking that score given the pitch.

Don't think you have much of a choice tbh.

 

[Tangles]

So a crappy pitch to nullify Mitch but you give Lyon and TPC wickets. Played SA.

 

[versatile]

.... Congrats to AB De Villiers in setting a new record by scoring a fifty in 12 consecutive test matches

Breaks the 38 year old mark that was held by Viv Richards (and later equalled by Sehwag and Gambhir)- 11.

Easily the best batsman in the world right now...

 

[Burgey]

Congratulations to AB de Villiers on his discovery of the Neutrino, the Higgs Boson and his 47 Nobel Prizes which he will collect after picking up his Biathlon, Speed Skating and Ice Dancing gold medals at the Winter Olympics.

 

[Burgey]

Steve Smith's day.

 

[harsh.ag]

Display of fortitude by the Aussies, as well as by Elgar and ABdV. Aside from QdK's wicket, everything else was a true fight. Good, but boring, cricket. Wish Elgar had looked better!

How come there isn't a thread about how Johnson is finished yet

 

[Agent Nationaux]

How come there isn't a thread about how Johnson is finished yet

Create one then ****.

 

[benchmark00]

I see Siddle's bowled his 20 without taking a wicket.

 

[Hooksey]

Must admit I was expecting worse than 5-214 at 2.58 runs per over.

Australia obviously need to get rid of AB ASAP tomorrow. But provided they don't let them get away, are still reasonably well placed.



Get on the draw.

 

[Furball]

I see Siddle's bowled his 20 without taking a wicket.

You took your time but thank god you've reminded us all that you think Siddle's ****.

 

[morgieb]

Will take that.

Such an awful pitch though.

 

[Top_Cat]

Don't have an issue with pitches like this personally, it's Test cricket, good players adapt, etc. Think SA were just a bit defensive too although, to be fair, it's understandable considering the quality of the attack an that they're under the pump in general.
