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

[Second Spitter]

So apparently all of de Kock, Elgar and Parnell are playing.

Does Alviro have gastro or "gastro"?

 

[Shri]

****ing bad. Philander playing with a niggle and they choose Parnell? Neither a good enough bowler nor a good enough batsman.

 

[morgieb]

I'd probably prefer Peterson over Parnell if I was a Saffie tbh.

 

[Top_Cat]

No idea why SA are persisting with AB as gloveman.

 

[morgieb]

Also lol @ picking Elgar to open. Do SA really want to be 0/1 after 1 over?

 

[Spikey]

jokes on you as smith faced over 1

 

[Flametree]

Aaaargh. My tv, cough cough, is showing Bangladesh Sri Lanka... was looking forward to seeing Mitch bowl at Elgar

 

[morgieb]

Oh wow he survives the over.

 

[Second Spitter]

Pitch looks dead.....and its gonna get deader.

 

[benchmark00]

Such a poor first over by Johnson, didn't get one on the button. Stop being too clever and hit him in the head.

 

[Spikey]

wait wait wait wait wait. hold on guys.

If you're in Australia and near a TV at 5.30 today and are remotely interested, I'll be a contestant on Million Dollar Minute on Channel 7

Bad Mitch is back!

/panic

But seriously, Smith made the right choice.

 

[benchmark00]

Apparently Australia are unchanged for six matches...

 

[Garson007]

Best team we have in the squad. I'd only replace Parnell with Abbott.

 

[Garson007]

Apparently Australia are unchanged for six matches...

One day captains have always been ignored.

 

[Top_Cat]

Reckon the fact that Shane Watson was in the side until recently might have more to do with it.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

What a dunce of a pitch. SA looking to bat for two days so even if they can't get Australia out they'll slow Mitch up a bit. See how that goes

 

[benchmark00]

Aussies look a bit flat, early doors etc.

Don't start this on the pads to Smith business though.

Good boy, gotta target the pads!
