***Official*** South Africa In Australia

[pup11]

Hmm, I dunno. I think I'd play a spinner. If Hauritz is good enough to play tests, he's definitely good enough to play ODIs.

The weird thing is Hauritz gets to play in the test team when he wasn't even playing for the NSW first XI in SS...

But he gets ignored for the ODI's, where actually he should have been picked on the merit of his OD bowling performances in the last two ranger cup seasons.

That though should be hardly surprising, because now when Hogg is gone everyone seems to realise how good an ODI spinner he was, but even he missed out on a lot of games, due to this constant habit of the Aussie team management of ignoring spinners, in limited overs cricket.

Going to both the ODI's this weekend.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Aus stumble today TBH. The pressure is all on them to perform with Steyn and Ntini rested.

NZ match will be interesting but I think Aus will get up there for sure.

I hate games in Perth. Have a whole day home on my own and the cricket doesn't start until exactly the time that my missus comes home from work and complains about it being on.

I love Perth games because they are at a sane time here. DN games are virtually day games for us.

Can't wait to see how Wayne Parnell goes today, him and Tim Southee were the two best Under 19 bowlers at the World Cup last year. I would like to see if he has more pace, and how much more he has improved.

He certainly has more pace than Southee. 140s, up to high 140s at times. Didn't you see him in the 20/20?

 

[TT Boy]

Yeah I have to agree, Perth games are the worst. It doesn't start until 12.30pm Beijing time and once the game is finished, the gym is closed and only bars and **** places to eat are still open.

Nah I missed that second 20/20 game.

South Africa have won a toss and will bat first.

Man the **** up and tell her to go do something else for a few hours.

Why do you hate me Cameron White?

No chance....I'm not coming from a position of power, she's the main breadwinner atm while I have 3 full weekdays each week to sit at home talking and watching cricket all day. She sees me as a bludger as is.

 

[thierry henry]

jeez that's a short straight boundary, almost of NZ proportions. Cameron White ambling back from inside the circle was only 2 metres away from the boundary when he dropped that. If he'd been running like Duminy was for his catch he could catch one that was over the fence.

 

[duffer]

Uh-oh Stevie Wonder's back for the NZ series. Should be fun at least.

 

[Ernest]

Nice to see Hilfenhaus get a wicket.. I think he's agot a lot of potential at the top level just needs to work on getting some lift

 

[Nate]

Bracken gets all of four overs. So stupid.
