***Official*** Australia in South Africa

Online betting is banned in USA

What? Really? How could they effectively ban it? There are hundreds of online bookies for US sports though? What's the reason for the ban?

 

[Manee]

Geeves just got merked!

 

[Pratters]

Johnson owns Smith.

 

[Postmanpat]

G. Smith will make 100 today.

Next time then, eh?

Yes, there is a federal ban but illegal betting still goes on.

 

[NUFAN]

Next time then, eh?

I meant runs scored + minutes batted + balls faced + strike rate - total runs scored from boundaries.

I think Albie's hitting at the death could be the difference in this match, under lights Australia will struggle to match it. It's key that SA build a decent platform through the middle overs though.

What the hell is the cricinfo commentary on about, the bloke's english is awful too. Speedo's way off. No way is Geeves hitting 145.

Why not? He's certainly capable.

Good to see Geeves taking some tap, getting what he deserves. Can't wait till Clark makes a comeback into the team.

He's constantly around 141/142 on the speeds being shown on the broadcast so he's not too far away. Not sure what the other poster was on about.

 

[oitoitoi]

I reckon the speedo isn't accurate.

Stupid Gibbs.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Can't believe Gibbs still get picked.

 

[oitoitoi]

Can't believe Gibbs still get picked.

Other than Amla, there isn't really anyone else you'd pick.

 

[inbox24]

Why did they drop Amla in the first place?

 

[oitoitoi]

Why did they drop Amla in the first place?

Good question, he would have been well suited to this surface too.

 

[oitoitoi]

Does anyone know if this is your typical Newlands surface? It seems very slow.

 

[DaRick]

Clark? Not in the one-dayers.

 

[oitoitoi]

I hope someone really goes after Hauritz, he seems so mediocre. Has Botha been signed up by an IPL team?

 

[Son Of Coco]

I reckon the speedo isn't accurate.

Stupid Gibbs.

Until you're mounted on a tripod at one end of the ground with a laser beam coming out of your eyes I think I'll go with the speedo.
