***Official*** Australia in South Africa

What is the way forward for this Aussie team, losing after such a strong position? Apart from the obvious McD bungle.

You really think they're gonna lose?

Avatar bet for one week? If Aus win, I choose your avatar. If SA win, you choose mine.

In case of draw, nothing happens.

Taken.

I think they're gonna win as well, at the very least I cannot see them losing this game.

Amla.

Next target: 100.

What sorta average does everyone think Johnson is gonna end up with? I'm thinking sub-30s, maybe 28 or so (about what he has now).

It's a different story if he plays on the sort of roads we've seen in the WIndies and Pakistan. Wonder what people like Holding and Akram have to say about those pitches.

 

[Stapel]

Kallis & Amla seem to pick up the occasional runs rather easily. I don't see the relatively unexperienced Aussie attack bowl out the Proteas, unless they get something special with the new ball. But I doubt that.

 

[alternative]

Dammit Amla.

 

[Evermind]

God damn it.

The Hashish is out.

 

[irfan]

This pair needs to put on a 100+, one feels fo Saffers to have any chance

(y) Macca & M00bs

Doom many enters, suffice to say this is the last stand for any chance to win the game.

Cmon Aussie - two more wickets sopnish please - pref Kallis and JP

Even if we get Morgan, Kallis and Boucher, we still have to deal with the tail. Our bowling against determined, defensive bats (even tailenders) doesn't fill me with confidence.

 

[Uppercut]

I fancy McDonald against the tail. Extremely difficult to score runs, and if you miss even one, you're out.

Nothing fills
You wih confidence - you're the most pessimistic guy on here - even SS isn't this bad when India is playing.

 

[inbox24]

Just being realistic and some members on the forums are at times too optimistic.

Quickly coming to the conclusion that McDonald is a pretty good bowler and if he could somehow start to scrounge some runs together, could have a part to play for a little while at test level
