***Official*** South Africa in Australia 2012

[NUFAN]

Think he ruled himself out of this series. Starc has to be cert for the next test.

Just on Starc, is he currently in Brisbane or is he preparing himself for the Shield match against Vic on Nov 13? I hope he plays in the Shield game - needs more red ball game time.

 

[Woodster]

AB de Villiers may be a joy to watch once this partnership has been broken, with a degree of freedom allowed in his strokeplay due to the strong position SA find themselves in and the general position of the game. Probably my favourite SA batsman to watch.

 

[Burgey]

Our bowling attack just looks a bit meh.

Pattinson looked the best this morning I reckon. But the competition hasn't been that great.

These two don't get out, remember?

 

[Contra]

Ugh... kallis getting another 100

 

[uvelocity]

pattinson has been good, the odd loose leg side one, but he has been good

steyn with the bizarre sunnies again

 

[morgieb]

We're bowling a lot better today. Good to see.

He might be slightly more reserved than usual due to Duminy's absence.

edit- but it also depends on how far these two go

 

[Pup Clarke]

I hope he plays in the Shield game - needs more red ball game time.

So why is Hilf playing?

 

[Pup Clarke]

Hilf's action is just so meh - best analogy I can think of is he's like a medium pacer trying to rush through his overs in an ODI.

 

[Spark]

****ing finally

 

[NUFAN]

So why is Hilf playing?

Proven performer, leading wicket taker last summer. This is what the selectors would have been thinking.

Starc doesn't have that many brilliant performances with the red ball.

Reckon I would have reviewed that for sure, just quietly.

 

[uvelocity]

yesss

bit of movement

 

[Viscount Tom]

He couldn't resist the heart forever.

 

[morgieb]

The breakthrough! Hooray!

Amla deadset looked like he was gonna make a double there.

 

[Burgey]

Enter the downhill skier, AB de Villiers.

 

[morgieb]

Wow, nice stroke.

 

[grecian]

Wow review

 

[Neil Pickup]

Not been the greatest exhibition of use of the DRS, this game...

 

[Burgey]

Selfish from Kallis. Typically tells his mate not to review so he has a crack at highest score. WAC.
