***Official*** South Africa In Australia

Kallis to double-ton up dammit

 

[Burgey]

Horrendous diatribe by Healy towards Greig about Smith there.

Reckon he's forgotten he's not out there playing anymore. It's like he's trying to pump the team up from 250 metres away.

Rubbish.

 

[duffer]

McKenzie not getting forward as well as he would've liked to that one that got the edge. Is that an old habit cropping up again cos I didn't see him do it once when he was in India?

Rubbish.

The disdain in Greig's voice was pretty awesome.

First time anything to do with Tony Greig talking has ever been "awesome".

 

[Bees]

What did Healy say? I'm listening to Grandstand, because they're not showing the cricket here until around 4.

His "probably mailed her in" comment was brilliant though.

And Heals "this one should be on the money"

Going on about how Smith was trying to convince himself that he was looking confident because he has such a bad record against Australia. Greig was saying "He averages 50 in Test cricket, he's done this plenty of times before". Cue Healy saying, "Not against Australia, he hasn't. Not very well, anyway"

Not quite brilliant enough to get him sacked. Another stuff up like that now that the Packers are gone, and we can get rid of him!

Throw in a "fire up Greigy" or two and it made for hilarious television.

Are the numbers on the South African shirts there to represent the number player since readmission?

 

[Burgey]

Happy with Lee's length so far, but seems very little movement at all.

 

[JimmyGS]

Smith and McKenzie looking very comfortable here.

Wide calls have been all over the place.

Johnson is, once again, woeful.

 

[duffer]

Johnson a solid 5-7 k's quicker than Lee so far.

 

[Nate]

Make no mistake, this pitch is quite flat.

Loving this Aussie side right now. Bowling attack is ace.

How many times each player has been out to Warne.

 

[Atreyu]

How are the South African Batsmen looking? judging by the Cricinfo report they have quite a few edges

 

[Nate]

Mitcheh Johnson - will take at least 5 poles.

 

[Burgey]

Lee drew Smith forward a couple of times really nicely, agree with Johnson though will probably take a bag anyway.

Aside from that last one which bounced just short, they've been pretty well controlled IMO, playing with soft hands.

So little carry for Lee, and this on the morning of day 2 FFS.
