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

[Daemon]

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

Abul Hasan's 113 followed by 24-0-113-0 was better

 

[BoyBrumby]

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

Really? Why the heck didn't Smith declare earlier then? Sure those 10 (?) runs in the five overs the bowlers ****ed about with will be vital...

 

[Son Of Coco]

Warner - horrible shot followed by beautiful cover drive followed by edge...could be an interesting few overs.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Clarke should ge the message out that Warner is only making Steyn angry.

 

[benchmark00]

It will be an absolute miracle if Cowan survives tonight. Looking so unlikely. His game is not in order.

Well the forecast is only scattered showers and that doesn't usually mean much, so I doubt it will cause any prolonged delays. Think betting agencies probably just overcompensate when any even remote chance of bad weather is on the horizon.

 

[Ruckus]

god I love watching this opening combo of Steyn and Philander. Both so contrasting in approach, yet both so effective.

Philander bowling some absolute jaffas here.

 

[uvelocity]

among other things have actually been at both the beach and the shops today. such an unlikely proposition but there is actually time enough, that's something.

 

[Satyanash89]

Philander all over Cowan. Top class over, that.

 

[uvelocity]

and I wonder if scoring a hundred will affect ab's keeping. might need to take the bat off him in future tests if so

Loving the aesthetics of their actions and their deliveries as well. Steyn retains all the pace of his run up through his delivery stride it is phenomenal.

[Cabinet96]

Time for Morkel IMO.

 

[Ruckus]

he;s ****ed

or not

 

[uvelocity]

oooh that can be a mongrel

 

[benchmark00]

Eeeeek.

Perth crowd late in the day, after a gut full of piss - brutal.

 

[Burgey]

What you get for trying to bowl short to my man Ed Cowan.

 

[benchmark00]

Nice pulsating yellow balls from Philander there.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Fly. In my helmet.
