Group A - Australia, South Africa, Scotland, Holland

[PhoenixFire]

Could we have a repeat of the Johannasburg 800 runs + ODI last year? Australia perfectly placed to go 400+ here.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

If he comes in later it'll be lower obviously, but if he came in now I'd back him to make over that. Flat wicket and all.

 

[pasag]

Clarke taking Kallis to the cleaners there.

 

[Pratters]

Michael Clarke = legend.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Clarke teeing off now. Definitely looking at 400 here, with Symonds and Hussey still to come.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Yeah, clearly all 5 batsmen can hit 6s, and Hogg isn't a mug either.

 

[GIMH]

Bloody hell. It's a good job Australia are in decline, otherwise we'd be looking at 600+

 

[Burgey]

I'm not up on the terminology here - if you sell are you betting he'll score under 38.5?

He probably won't get a hit....

 

[Laurrz]

hall lol

 

[Goughy]

What a shot off Ntini to bring up Pontings 50. Pure class

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

50 for Ponting. With Tendulkar and Ganguly perhaps finished with WC cricket now, he could grab the centuries record for himself if he gets one today. Tied with those two and Mark Waugh atm.

 

[Burgey]

Behold Michael Clarke - the weak link, according to Smith.

Look, irrespective of the outcome of this game, there's just so much psychobabble crap that goes on these days - who has "the edge", who's a "weakness", etc.

Just wish they'd get on with bloody well playing,ffs.

God it's late here......

Clarke's outplayed Ponting so far, IMO. Played some unbelievable shots. Great 50.

Either of these guys could get triple figures from here. Presumably three centuries in an ODI innings has never occured?

Be nice if they both did

 

[GIMH]

This really is impressive from the Aussies

 

[Pratters]

The ground is so small..

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

More rubbish from Pollock. Two full tosses outside leg in the over.

Can't remember him bowling that badly in an ODI. 0/83 off his 10.

And now Gibbs drops an absolute sitter.

edit: hahaha, Ponting's cheesy grin straight after the drop. Classic.

 

[chalky]

Oh dear Gibbs memories of Steve Waugh there

Christ, I never thought Pollock could go for that many.........

 

[pasag]

Gibbs just dropped the World Cup... again!
