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

Was just about to post that Doolan was getting in line well today, then fends at Abbott's last ball to make a liar of me.

Is this Siddle's first proper dropping, btw?

Warner looks a little bit like when Bart was a rat.

 

[Maximas]

wonder how the crowd is in Geelong?

Decent enough.

I see shots of the girls in the crowd have been replaced by that shot of the ground with the mountain in the background for this test

Can report the apple pie was slightly overlooked but very well received by the kids.

must be a nod to that shakira song.

Was dropped after the Ashes in 2010/11 IIRC. At least, I don't remember being injured for those first two Tests in SL

Shot.

Umps call. Definite reverse tang there.

 

[benchmark00]

Nope, smashed it.

see Jackman just said Hotpox but he backed himself and didn't admit he was wrong. Tom Moody has a lot to learn.

Why don't South African's go to the cricket? More here, but what's the problem over there?

Because cricket just isn't that popular over here. I think there's superrugby happening this weekend...? If so, about 99% of the population are more focused on either soccer or rugby, than cricket.

The best of Alex Doolan.

Thanks for clearing that one up.

You'd think they'd find someone to sew Doolan's cap number on his shirt

Oh man on a related note, I read someone on either bigf00ty or cricinfo saying that South Africa only has 80 odd test caps and that it shows consistency

[Hooksey]

Warner motoring. Great toss to win for Clarke.

 

[Hooksey]

30 runs 15 minutes. Anyone??

 

[benchmark00]

Hahahahahahha the cameraman.
