***Official*** Australia in South Africa

[Spikey]

let's just think about what might have happened in an alternate universe where ponting is still captain....and MJ opens up after lunch

 

[nsniks]

That must be the quickest 5-fer since Botham took 5-1 in 18 balls vs us at Old Trafford in 81?

Maybe Ambrose in Perth 93?

From Cricinfo

Jamie Alter has messaged me with this: "Andy Caddick took five in 15 balls for five runs against West Indies at Leeds in 2001." Can anyone find one quicker?

EDIT : Beat me to it!!!

 

[Kylez]

This is absurd viewing, but incredible viewing as well. That was a pathetic effort from Morkel there, what the hell was he thinking?

 

[Burgey]

Down side here is Steyn looks pissed.

 

[Prince EWS]

Would you believe that Rudolph's terribly scratchy knock was the second best in the entire innings?

 

[robelinda]

Damn. Reminds me of that Sharjah test, in 2002, Pakistan all out for 53 and 57? FAIL.

 

[Cevno]

So if we believe those who talk about this Australian attack as though they wouldn't get a game for Wellington seconds, what will happen to South Africa when they face England?

Tbf, even Sreesanth has run through South Africa in South Africa.

They have these moments where there batting collapses. Should have prepared flatter wickets against Australia, IMO and then taken full advantage of Steyn.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Hit Steyn...even though I like watching him bowl.

 

[Guido Hatzis]

jermaine lawson took 5 in 13 balls against bangladesh. might be the quickest

 

[Flem274*]

Steyn is going to try and kill someone next innings. Possibly his own team mates with an "accidental" Harmy.

 

[Prince EWS]

Clarke, you're taking the piss.

 

[Spikey]

OH NO z

 

[Ikki]

Yeah, but did they take their first 5 within their first 3-4 overs?

 

[Spark]

Yeah Steyn is going to be murderous next dig. Will probably have difficulty in getting 200, but that should be more than enough.

 

[Son Of Coco]

So if we believe those who talk about this Australian attack as though they wouldn't get a game for Wellington seconds, what will happen to South Africa when they face England?

If England bowl as well as they have been? They'll struggle I'd say.

 

[Flem274*]

Johnson on.

A cheap ploy to get his tail up?

 

[robelinda]

Tim May 5/9 vs WI?

 

[Prince EWS]

Johnson on.

A cheap ploy to get his tail up?

On just to hit Steyn in the hand IMO.

 

[uvelocity]

with johnson on saffers might just reach parity
