***Official*** Australia in South Africa

[Matt79]

Well Prince can't bowl much worse than Morkel, so just stick Prince in at 7 and shuffle Boucher down one.

 

[King Pietersen]

Fo shizzle. Replace McKenzie with DeVilliers up top and get Prince in the middle order at #5

Or move Amla from 3 to open and have Kallis, Prince or De Villiers at 3.

 

[Craig]

Haha will the real South African team show up, or have they all gone on MIA and a bunch of clones have stepped in to replace them?

 

[Langeveldt]

Absolutely ****ing diabolical, how can we lose to this attack.. We'd lose to England at this rate

 

[Johnners]

Because Johnson is a star, that's how.

 

[mikeW]

Get Siddle on now!

 

[Matt79]

It's time to unleash the Big Ranga!

Haha, shockingly poor call. Hilf is a bit meh, McDonald can contain, but the rest is first-rate.

 

[Matt79]

Who will be Johnson's 100th wicket do you reckon? There are 36, or 37 (depending on Smith) wickets still available in this series and he's on 88 at the moment, so you'd think he is an even money bet to get there this series... I'll say Steyn.

 

[Matt79]

Little Ranga on instead of the big fella.

Sids must be going to bowl from Johnson's end in a minute.

 

[mikeW]

Cracker from Sidds to start

 

[Matt79]

The rarely executed Double-Ranga now in play...

 

[Matt79]

I like both Lee and Tait, but after years of one or both being in the team, geez its nice to see bowlers who don't leak runs keeping the pressure on. Obviously Lee is a far superior bowler to all of this attack apart from Johnson, and potentially Siddle in time to come, but when he wasn't looking dangerous he would go for a few, unlike McDonald. Call it a silver lining.

 

[Hoggy31]

jeez McDonald's accurate, hits the middle of the bat every ball.

Haha was thinking the same thing.

He's been too wide so far today.

 

[alternative]

Apparently Smitty has 2 knuckles broken(little and ring finger), so he is definitely out of the match.

Very gun.

 

[Matt79]

Poor bloke.

Still, good for us.

 

[pasag]

TV said he's in a cast. He'd be out of the series, you'd say, huge blow to the Saffies.

 

[Nate]

North on. Breakthrough time.
