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

[Spark]

I know I'm Australian, but this is the most exciting team to grace cricket in years. I hope the BBC comms from the Ashes are looking at this and realising maybe they should have focussed a little more on how good this team actually is right now, instead of how bad England is, huh Boycott? Nothing better than a fast bowler, except for Warne early 90s maybe. Wow. I love test cricket.

I get your point in general but no one should ever, ever get in the way of Boycott going on a rant about how **** England have played on a given day of a Test. One of life's great listening pleasures.

I wouldn't be surprised if de Villiers goes in sans gloves in PE. In fact I'm expecting him to.

It has to happen at some stage, AB will be the next captain and surely he can't do it keeping.

In fact, if he does get rid of the gloves this series, is it a sign that Smith is close to calling it a day? #conspiracytheories #JohnsonretiresSmith

AB's hand is ****ed. He can't go on keeping with it or it actually will start damaging his batting, which it quite clearly hasn't to this point.

i'd be surprised to see the switch happen mid series and when injury doesn't force it (ie not fit enough to keep)

 

[benchmark00]

Which is why I think he should change...

 

[Spikey]

dont care why you think he should change, ****

 

[benchmark00]

u carin'

 

[Spikey]

nah man not even

Watson unlikely to be fit/selected for the second test.

Watson 'hard to fit in': Lehmann

would seem that watson is not considered one of our top 6 bats and will only be picked as an all rounder

Alex Doolan grabs his debut chance with both hands

 

[Red]

Clarke argued the challenge of the bowling he withstood in that six-over period, from Dale Steyn and Vernon Philander, would be the equal of anything the Tasmanian would face during his Test career given the timing, pitch conditions and calibre of opposition.

Clarke on Doolan.

True that. Out of curiosity, where does Doolan field in FC cricket?

 

[Johnners]

Please, for the love of god, stfu.

fixed.

 

[uvelocity]

oh yes;

 

[Riggins]

Nath trolling Morne into taking the second run was fantastic.

Also, when did Morkel get so **** at batting. He used to be okay. Opened the batting in a test match ffs.

Just had a mental lol imagining Johnson bowling to Raina.

I dunno a lot of good fast bowlers have trouble bouncing midgets out compared to batsmen of normal height.
