***Official*** Australia in South Africa

In Steyn, Dr. Phil, Morkel and Tahir, looks like SA has four genuine wicket takers.

Can't remember the last time that was the case. Ntini-Steyn-Morkel-Kallis in 2007/08 was perhaps the closest one got to a devastating four-pronged attack. Before Ntini lost the sting rapidly towards the end of his career.

Team in deep ****, men back, short ball, P00ntang.

Oh ffs, if Ponting is going to hit Philander for six someone please knee cap him. The Charity for NZ Cricket will pay you food and booze from Ryder's fridge.

Quite like Marsh's technique and general style of play too. Never looks all that bad, and has pretty good footwork, can't say I've seen him hurried.

Never seen a batsman look good when he gets squared up tbh.

Fair comment, but some batsmen's movements just look more exaggerated and unco-ordinated, as Hughes' does, imo.

Spark, what do you make of the field?

 

[Prince EWS]

Some real gash stuff from Steyn in that over; he's lucky the deliveries were quite as bad as they were or they would've been punished. You can tell he's a bit rusty.

You don't have the ability.

(I know this because I checked to see if I could infract James)

EDIT: Actually, it appears we can infract each other.

Also has the slight benefit of being a left-hander facing Steyn.

Is the UDRS system being used in this series? Can't remember anything being said about it.
