    ***Official*** Australia in South Africa

    Just got back from eating large amounts of humble pie! Well done to our boys, I was one that had written them off for this tour. The Aussie selectors have suddenly gone from mugs to wizards thanks to the bat of Hughes. Looking forward to see if SA strikes back in the final test or if the...

    **Official** New Zealand in Australia

    Important knocks for Clarke and M. Hussey purely for the confidence. NZ to win for mine. Can't see them getting dodgy calls etc and mucking up the chase twice in a row.

    Hussey gone will be interesting to see if the Aussies can still step up the run rate from here...

    Going to both the ODI's this weekend. Wouldn't be surprised to see Aus stumble today TBH. The pressure is all on them to perform with Steyn and Ntini rested. NZ match will be interesting but I think Aus will get up there for sure.

    Clark out is massive for the return series. I really think a fit Clark could have turned this series on it's head and had hoped to see him play in SA. Hopefully Clark can get right for the Ashes. Where is Siddle at with his injury?

    It's funny you say this I was tossing up including this on my last post... Isn't it a little concerning the frequency in which Australian fast bowlers go out through injury lately? If it was an AFL footy club there would big questions asked about what the heck the conditioning coaches and...

    Hopes I'll pay as a good 4th bowling option, particularly if he gains some confidence with the bat. The Aussies are desperately lacking wicket taking capability and unfortunately Hopes looks more like the type to tie down an end during the middle overs than a genuine wicket taker which is what...

    Well done to South Africa! They have played better all summer and have even stolen a march on the return series by roughing up our one Golden Boy, Mitch Johnson, in the last two one dayers. Big question marks against White, Hopes, Hilfenhaus and Hauritz in my opinion from this series. While...

    Dussey gone! What can the Aussies get in these last 5 overs now? Is 280 out of reach?

    Nice! Warner's knock is getting more valuable by the moment :laugh:

    Why not talk about that great stumping. Boucher has kept very well all series and has definitely been a cut above Haddin in that regard. South Africa fight back once again with both openers out.

    Good effort from Warner. Has got Aus off to great start - not bad for his second ODI!

    Ponting wins the toss again. He really is getting very good at that!

    Awesome series!!!! One of the best in recent years (admittedly only watching Australia play) Can't wait for the return series already! Amazing effort by SA and great to see Aus finally convert a good position into a win. Great ball from Johnno to knock the stumps down.

    Aussies might even win this from here. De Villiers is a massive loss to SA

    Have to have a laugh... Three wickets this session and all to the blokes who were getting panned :laugh:

    I'm liking McDonald. He's given the captain back some control with his ability to dry up the runs. He was also unlucky not to have McKenzie lbw before stumps today... It's up to Siddle or Johno to get the wickets tomorrow though. Hauritz isn't looking like he's going to have an impact.

    ***Official*** South Africa In Australia

    Siddles performance was admirable especially in a series which has been characterised by strong batting by the tail. Plus he made Boucher say a curse word which was amusing :laugh: I thought Hauritz was unlucky not to take a wicket. Hopefully he will make a strong impact in the second innings...
