[Spikey]

And that's the end of the Roadelaide Oval wicket!

Yeah cricket really is boring at Adelaide!

 

[ajdude]

siddle should've kept bowling no balls and hoped for a runout

 

[benchmark00]

Well ****ing done to Francois. fmd, what a giant effort. At least he wasn't slumped over like a bish at the end.

 

[benchmark00]

siddle should've kept bowling no balls and hoped for a runout

Was thinking the same thing.

 

[NasserFan207]

Faf the batting Siddle

That dismissal of Kleinveldt was epic

breaking news: selfish kallis to play in perth in bid to win man of the series

 

[Bahnz]

Would be so like this SA team to get mulched for 8 days straight, then turn around and pinch a 1-0 series win. Gotta admire the fight.

which is why he will never be considered a great cricketer..because he places personal glory over that of the team.

 

[ProteasFan]

Smith never losing a test in which he scores 100 or more is still intact.

Oh dear.

Peter Siddle has already referred to his performance today 7 times in the dressing room #thenewdeanjones

Warner 9 - scored a century and took a wicket. Not sure how this could've been better.
Cowan 4 - start in the 2nd innings.
Quiney 1 - took a couple of catches....
Ponting 1 -
Clarke 10 - hey, at least he got dismissed! Even after 480-odd runs!
Hussey 9 - should've bowled more, but batted great.
Wade 3 - not so good with the bat and poor glovework.
Siddle 7 - tried his heart out in the 4th innings.
Pattinson 1 - good dig but breaking down was the main reason why we didn't win.
Hilfenhaus 4 - loses points for ineffectiveness in the 2nd dig.
Lyon 7 - a major trier.

Smith 8 - his run of undefeated tons continue.
Petersen 7 - did fairly well in both innings.
Amla 2 - whoops.
Rudolph 3 - near the end?
de Villiers 7 - tried his heart out in the final innings.
du Plessis 10 - it's one thing to score a debut ton, another thing entirely to virtually single-handedly save the game. WAG.
Kallis 8 - imagine how much he'd have done if he was fit.
Steyn 5 - bowled decent at times...
Kleinveldt 6 - good spell in the third innings.
Morkel 8 - 8 wickets is always a plus, and gets bonus points for being there at the end.
Tahir 0 - hahahahahahaha.

 

[Spikey]

poor old Tsolekile. they'll probably go in with AB as keeper next test now

wonder if we'll see any rotation of Siddle/Hilf

 

[smash84]

well played SA

How was Ponting worse than Wade?

 

[Spikey]

think those aus ratings are spot on. maybe hilf down a point.i'd switch amla and rudolph around. drop steyn down 1. drop tahir down 20,000

edit oh yeah and wade down a couple.
