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

[benchmark00]

Starc was most definitely looked the most likely to take wickets.

 

[TumTum]

How many runs will Ponting get?

My bet is in the 10s, I'll say 14 because he likes even numbers.

 

[Stapel]

I think Australia will be 3 down at end of today's play.

Nah, 4 or 5. Cowan, Warner, Watson, Ponting and a nightwatchman.

 

[M0rphin3]

Like Starceh and all, but awful spell indeed-y. Bowled worse than Mitch for the most parts - says it all tbh.

 

[Spikey]

Hastings finishes with an average of 153. He's in FDP territory!

 

[cnerd123]

Andy Zaltzman, the sultan of stats, tweets immediately that this is only the third time since 1909 that all 10 wickets have been taken by left-arm bowlers. Perhaps this is what Smith was waiting for

Hahahaha

 

[Chook Herron]

Is Nathan Lyon padded up yet?

 

[Ruckus]

ah potential murky forecast on day 5 explains the odds on a draw

 

[Ruckus]

Hastings finishes his test career with an average of 153. He's in FDP territory!

Elgar bowls some darts tbf, so don't reverse jinx him into taking 7 or something please.

Nah mate. Johnson looked better.

 

[NUFAN]

lol one of the worst 5-fors ever

Have u ever seen Kaneria take 5?

I thought Starc was good today, not great but he recovered well from a poor day 2.

Maybe it's CW member AndyZaltzHair.

MJ was way better. All starc did was bowl short n wide filth all day

 

[benchmark00]

Just saw that Starc and Philander had the exact same first innings figures, except that Philander bowled one more maiden. That **** is cray.

Nah look I'm afraid you were watching a different game.

 

[Hurricane]

Personally I hope Hastings is persevered with.

Na overall it was pretty rancid. Poor, poor bowling when it mattered the most, was gifted most of his wickets and only recovered when the game was well and truly taken away from us.
