***Official*** Australia in South Africa

You're kidding, right?

Well I certainly wouldn't expect it, but......

would give a decent rest before bowling, the ball is old and battered, Saffies would see it as a diss (and I like to upset em), and would be such a revolutionary thing.

a Martin Crowe type captain may have done it

Didn't look out, I wonder what the noise was though...

No more referrals left for SA

they've had a baaaaaad day

Can Smith ever get a referral right? We know he's rather challenged in the brain department but does he have to be this bad? Ponting in contrast is smart and generally gets them right.

Wonderful knock from Hughes, really happy for him atm, loved the spunk he showed through the innings, his knock today was a bit like Slater and Sehwag mixed together into one, anyways was a very entertaining innings, and hopefully this is the start of a wonderful career for him.

Think there was one he stuffed up early on in the second innings of the last Test against Smith, but yeah, generally he's been pretty good. Smith on the other hand has two from today and the two they missed against Hughes in the last match, not the greatest start.

200 up

It's so damn hot...... Morkel was a baaaaaaaaad choice.

Can't get the live ABC streaming to work in South Korea tonight...had no problems last test even though it said "Australian IP only" or something along those lines

In fairness, just about all the South African bowlers are going the journey.

This innings is going at around 4 rpo. Like the Aussie team of a few years ago.

FMD Punter.

Going in with no spinner looks a major dick move.

Expand?

Poor shot from Ponting, really atricious stuff to chuck away your wicket like that, on a placid track like this.

Didn't take us long to become totally dominant again.

Morne is **** but Albertus is even worse so it was the lesser of two evils. How can one family produce two such crap bowlers?

 

[Trumpers_Ghost]

Flogging a dead horse here but.........now for Mitch??

 

[pasag]

wtf Ponting? Bizarre.

 

[The Sean]

So does getting out for single figures on a road like this. Jebus Punter.

 

[Uppercut]

Indeed. Classic Paul Harris wicket.

ind33d, can't see any reason to send in a bowler unless you have a big lead and are looking for quick runs to set the windies a total

If Ponting was going to go and play a shot like that after the start we got then I'd say it wouldn't be a bad idea. At least Johnson might clatter a couple into the stands.
