***Official*** South Africa in Australia 2012

[Riggins]

what are the CW bookies paying for steyn to pass 50 in either innings

0-80 in both innings

 

[Prince EWS]

So with Watson out, who's vice-captain?

Why the South Australian vice-captain of course.

 

[Spikey]

PJ Hughes isn't playing

Former Test opener and vice-captain Phil Hughes also told the side "time for talk is over".

Must be an honour to work under Johan Botha.

PS. Wasn't Warner VC when Watson missed a match a while ago. Mebbe that was in the ODI's after p00ntang was dr00ped.

 

[Spikey]

notice how hughes said the time for talk is over and then sa started winning. what a leader. the next clarke

 

[Spikey]

if only he said "hey nathan lyon, take some wickets or at least stop bowling rubbish"

 

[benchmark00]

srsly though, can you imagine if Warner was captain of the test team? Would come out to do the toss in stubby shorts, a pair of thongs and a blue singlet with a southern cross tattoo on his bicep.

that was ODers. Haddin was usually the VC when one of the leaders was out.

'oh **** mate. forgot the ****ing coin mate. let's uh flip a stump mate'

 

[benchmark00]

Hills or flats.

 

[Spikey]

Of course, Siddle wasn't in those OD squads when Warner was made VC #bigheart

 

[benchmark00]

Hard to be leader of the attack and leader of the rest of the team #alotonhisplate

 

[Prince EWS]

Seriously though, the role of the VC is offer his thoughts to the captain and take over the reigns if he's off the field. We're kidding ourselves if we want anyone other than Ponting doing that. He may not even get the title officially but he'll be the one Clarke turns to if he's struggling for ideas and the one who takes control if Clarke goes off the field.

turned vegan didn't he? doubt there's much on his plate at all nowadays

The pies he serves up this summer will be filled with tofu.

 

[Spikey]

hope he aims them at the stumps. the south africans won't touch them

 

[Pup Clarke]

Reckon Tahir might surprise a little on this tour though.

Yeah, would love to see a bowler go 0/300.

Might not show up at all, thinking the game is actually at the MCG.
