***Official*** Australia in South Africa

South Africa's session thanks to Kallis, lovely little cameo so far.

Cummins has bowled reasonably, but really I can't believe he's suddenly jumped ahead of Copeland in the queue, it's amazing to think that we have Lyon and Cummins in our attack and they only have 26 and 9 first class wickets respectively - Both picked on the basis of having a big impact in the Big Bash. FMD.

Australia's attack exposed - what a ****ing surprise

Billy Bowden exposed - what a ****ing surprise

The sooner that the clowns who select Australia's test team and the "elite" :laugh: umpires panel are given the bullet, the better

This is how I know that an Australian Test is about to start.

Test batsmen around the world absolutely crap themselves at the thought of facing an off-spinner with no experience, wickets, or variation - OOOOOh no, should I hit him for 4 or 6?

Ed Cowan with a ton today. Think he can make it? He seems technically pretty good from what I've seen of him.

But 'devoid of any character'? Any successful sportsman is not, in a sense.

Character as in personality. Not saying he doesn't have courage/ stubbornness/ formidable attitude.

He better get a double century. It's so much fun when world-class cricketers demolish teams whose fans don't rate them.

He doesn't come across as "one of the lads", charasmatic, cheery or likeable basically, the polar opposite of someone like Flintoff in persona.

Ed is very limited in his stroke play, not neccessarily a terrible thing, but shut down his cuts and of the like and he doesn't have alot. Not the sort of player Australian selectors are fans of.

You'd be hard pressed to find a fan, Aussie or otherwise, who doesn't think Kallis is at least one of the best players in the world, and one of the best of the modern era.

Not calling him the best ever isn't the same as not rating him.
