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

[Burgey]

Great result for sa. Sets up the third test beautifully. We've never lost a series to sa over there since they stopped disgracing themselves as a nation have we? Gonna be huge

 

[grecian]

Less strange, more "enigmatic" that Elgar dismissal.

Oh I'll get my coat......

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Wow, apart from Rogers and Warner no one else went into double figures.

 

[ajdude]

good result for the series itbt, should be a cracker of a decider.

 

[Spark]

one of the great expressions

 

[Furball]

lol Lyon hit that.

 

[Crazy Sam]

What a disgusting batting card for Australia though, particularly when your opening batsman faces significantly more balls in the innings than the rest of the team combined.

Marsh should've been dropped after the last test as we all know he can't string it together for more than a game at a time. :P

 

[Spikey]

alex doolan really did fly dangerously close to a career killer today

 

[Shri]

I blame Doolan mostly. Built up so much pressure on the team and broke the momentum of their innings. But Clarke with his experience should have been able to prevent another collapse.

 

[Prince EWS]

Batsmen #3-#11: 22 runs
Extras: 21 runs

Nice.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well done SA, can't wait for the decider.

Nice.

Batsmen 4-11 did manage to face more deliveries than Warner tho

 

[Agent Nationaux]

South African bowlers to batsmen 3 to 11:

We will match whatever score you make.

Wasn't Warner's job to go for the draw, tbh.

 

[Pothas]

Well done SA, can't wait for the decider.

Yeah would be nice to have a close test match though, not had one of those for a long time apart from NZ v India and they were strange games in that one side dominated ridiculously for good chunks of both of them.

 

[Burgey]

Third test in Thursday or Friday?

reckon Harris looks cooked tbh. If he's ok tho, Siddle to make way for Patto.

Imagine the facial expressions on display with all of #harristrollface, #steynface and #pattomad****face playing. Epic.

 

[Spark]

We need Patto in. Harris/Siddle definitely look like a pair coming off 7 straight Tests and they look pretty flat.

 

[Garson007]

PE to get future Boxing day tests? **** yeah. Deserves it. Oldest test ground and has been neglected for years. Durban was really never a good location for it.

 

[Garson007]

Saturday, IIRC.
