***Official*** Australia in South Africa 2013/14

[FaaipDeOiad]

Definitely not a road and I think Australia's score is pretty good, but 450+ was easily on the cards so collapsing here would still be pretty disappointing and would let SA back in the game.

Whats with the armbands......whos died?

Some 11 year old kid called Luke Batty.

bewildering that pews chooses to use the mirror

Don't think anyone is calling it a road, it's just good for batting once you're in. Good pace onto the bat. plenty of bounce though so Australia won't hate it to bowl on,

 

[Adders]

Better off not knowing about it if you don't already know. No one high profile though.

Horrid ****.

Of course I've heard about it.......indeed horrid. Good from the Aussies then.

Any connection to cricket (or the team) apart from the fact it happened at a game?

Good stroke of the Johnson there

 

[benchmark00]

Haha that shot.

 

[Spark]

that's a great shot

 

[adub]

yeah good shot that.

 

[Pothas]

Great innings, that. But just feel Australia are blowing it. Don't think this total is good enough.

Excellent from a neutral point of view this, anything around 400 sets up this match really well. Really looking forward to seeing this Australian attack against someone that is not England.

If Morne was Danish they'd shoot him in the face and feed him to the lions.

 

[Johnners]

:eee:

Reckon this deck will really suit Lyon bowling around the wicket to the light hander btw.

8/10

Was just the first result on google; I'm the last bloke who'd read the Mirror.

 

[Johnners]

Missed much of this morning, what's holding banging on about?

 

[benchmark00]

All they have to say is 'impact injury'.

 

[YorksLanka]

If Morne was Danish they'd shoot him in the face and feed him to the lions.

i'd love to see a batsman keep pulling away as he starts his bowling and eventually he will get dizzy going round in circles all the time...

 

[benchmark00]

Yessssssssss!!!!! Polka dots.

 

[Riggins]

nah no way is this pitch the road some of you ****s are making it out to be, still some variable bounce and a bit of movement if you bowl the right areas

That's why people said it was a seamy road, ****.

This. Especially now that Johnson has made runs.
