***Official*** Australia in South Africa

[Pothas]

Imagine when Tahir is really firing, and Steyn has more of a season under his belt, SA could be unstoppable. SL are going to murdered in December, quite horrendously.

Yeah it would seem so especially when they are utterly incapable of taking 20 wickets, feel sorry for Sangakkara already.

Having said that South Africa still are not as good as they should be, wonder if we saw Mark Bouchers last test innings today? Have always quite rated him personally but looks like his time could be up.

Rudolph will need to make sure he cashes in against Sri Lanka as well, has faced far better attacks in county cricket in recent years.

Why don't the Yarps rate Elgar?

 

[Daemon]

They do..he's in their A side.

I reckon they do. It's just that Rudolph has been pretty ridiculous domestically across more than one competition for a few years now and deserves the chance. I don't think it'll be a particularly long chance if he doesn't fire pretty much straight away though.

Rudolph is rubbish though.

Underrated a bit IMO.

Jim Maxwell already saying its raining in Jo'burg.

Disappointing from a cricketing POV, but for the locals it means they can see less of the place. It's awful.

See? Told you it's a rubbish place.

So not only do we get teased with a 2 match series, it looks like we won't even get the final day of the second test.

 

[Daemon]

No way.. Was shaping up to be one of the best tests this year.

Damn rain. Now we lose to SA as well. If the rain does go away, we had better smash the bejesus out of it, would rather lose 2-0 than play out a draw, if we get back out there.

Were you listening to him at the COP yesterday (this morning)? Absolutely roasted the umpires (has done for a couple of days in a row actually) for the way they handle the light process.

Nah mate, I was punching out Z's by then, well and truly.

It's a common bug bear of his, and the late Mr Roebuck too for that matter.

 

[ganeshran]

It cant be raining... NOOOOOOOOO

 

[TumTum]

Still 2 hours to go, might clear up by then.

Smart man, my complete lack of inspiration today suggest I should have been doing the same.....

Yeah it is, and I've yet to disagree with him about it. If the umpires were even remotely consistent with it, it might be a little less frustrating...

Apt, I'll give you that.
