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

[Spark]

Amla's batting ridiculously well though. Ridiculous.

John Etheridge @JohnSunCricket
At this rate, both Smith and Amla will score centuries in a session.


This would be quite something. Smith went into Tea at 2* fwiw.

 

[Zinzan]

Wow SA can be ruthless on their day. Sensational stuff. Amla showing how to play at the WACA.

 

[duffer]

It's been said, but this is rubbish bowling so far. GEt into the game ffs.

 

[Spikey]

MJ around the wicket. So we've given up on getting Smith LBW....

 

[kingkallis]

I seriously don't know what people were watching if they think this is a 225ao deck.

It just isn't.

Smith and Amla proving you right.

 

[sonnench]

Amla back to where he belongs, averaging 50+.

Great chance of both these guys getting a century tonight.

The comms having to shill for Toyota and/or VB really ****s me.

Especially when it's Nicholas extolling the virtues of Victoria Bitter. As if he's not a claret drinker.

 

[Ruckus]

At what lead here, gambhiring aside, are we actually down and out of the match?

 

[CricAddict]

Good testing over from Johnson there

Gambhiring? 50 runs ago.

Really? Another 60 should do it.

I reckon 350

Projected score in a test

Something chilled and fizzy I'd have thought (not Fosters!). It's quite funny the first time you hear it though.

 

[cnerd123]

Johnson with a smile and a laugh with Smith after that over.

Nothing says nasty fast bowler out to win a game for his country like cracking a joke with the opposing team's captain while he's smashing your bowling around.

 

[cricman]

Hash hurting his strike rate by taking singles

I would say, SA would declare only at a 500 lead, unless there is a collapse..But anything above 400 would be tough for the Aussies since most of the batsmen barring Clarke and Hussey are not in great form..

Veuve Clicquot: probably the best lager in the world.

 

[Dissector]

Wow. Astonishing stuff. I can't recall a big test where a partnership has taken the game away so quickly and that too on day 2. It's really hard to see Australia coming back from this. Ponting will have a possibility of a fairy-tale finish if he can take Australia to what would be a legendary chase. I guess a Clarke double hundred would come in handy too.

 

[stumpski]

Still 16 overs officially left today, but presumably they can only play another 40 minutes or so?
