***Official*** Australia in South Africa

[Son Of Coco]

Nice to get a couple of early wickets. Hopefully a couple more fall soon.

 

[inbox24]

The only thing I guess is that he's consistently economical, something which no other bowler has managed this summer. But we need bowlers who do that and take wickets.

 

[Uppercut]

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

He's a better option than any of the sub-standard spinners they've picked.

Aussies take the new ball straight away, as expected. Hopefully we can get Duminy with it while he's still getting settled. Not too sure what inbox is talking about though really, I'll feel pretty much completely confident if another wicket falls in the next 10 overs or so, really can't see Boucher or the tail putting up that much resistance if 200 or so are still needed.

Kallis saved by referal.

 

[Zinzan]

Dammit ! my main man de Villiers is goneski

 

[Steulen]

Kallis saved by referal.

Finally the system shows its worth. Kallis reprieved by the ball pitching a whisker outside leg.

 

[Ikki]

Kallis gonesky.

 

[four_or_six]

Boring. Oh well, was always a bit much to ask.

 

[Steulen]

On the one hand, I like this new positive Kallis. OTOH, he keeps getting out to silly shots. That's twice this match now.

 

[pasag]

Yes! Just finished uni and heading straight down to the pub.

 

[Dydl]

Kallis saved by referal.

Didn't really help him though in the scheme of things. Big wicket that.

From cricinfo, I'm guessing Johnson gets another wicket with a wide half-volley?

 

[inbox24]

Two more wickets boys, 2 more!

 

[Matt79]

Midge! Fo'shizzle my nizzle, dat was da mizzle!

5 to go.

 

[Nate]

Hilf looking tame here. C'mon son. Just gotta hope he keeps building pressure, make them do something stupid.

 

[Johnners]

Johnners!!!!

Awesome session for Australia really, got basically everything they wanted, barring the wicket of Duminy I guess.

 

[Nate]

Who is this commentating with Nicholas? He's talking a lot of crap.

 

[Hoggy31]

Johnson's star is rising and rising.

 

[Matt79]

From cricinfo, I'm guessing Johnson gets another wicket with a wide half-volley?

Yeah, as he's done over 80 times now in only 19 matches, at an average under 28.
