Yeah seems like North took the wicket. Interesting maybe North will be the spinner for Jo'Burg and Aus will go in with 4 seamers.

In the last few tests, the spinners have hardly turned their arm over at the Wanderers. Paul Harris bowled less than 10 overs when South Africa played New Zealand there.

Johnson has come back into the attack, but still no sign of Pete Siddle.

McGain will play for sure, he is a wrist-spinner, so he would get a bit more purchase than a finer-spinner is likely to get, would be pretty lame if they don't pick him in the XI, after taking him all the way over there, and making him sit on the bench.

Given that Siddle's recently had a hint of a hot spot, he may be being treated conservatively.

Siddle and McGain had gastro - '95 Rugby WC all over again

Well there goes McDonalds short term test career. Runs and wickets, hard to argue with.

 

[Prince EWS]

Five for North now.

Good job North he most likely has his spot for the test.

 

[Demolition Man]

6 for north, either McGain or McDonald should miss out.

 

[pasag]

Will concede I may have overreacted just a bit after the first day

 

[Burgey]

Won't be McGain I think - more likely McDonald, which is a shame for him.

Dougie gets three - interesting battle between he and Horseymouth for the last pace spot.
