***Official Australia in South Africa***

[DanielFullard]

Ntini and Nel giving a masterclass in how to waste a new ball!!!

 

[Nuts]

An absolute jaffa from Nel!

 

[DanielFullard]

Saying that Nel has just bowled two absolute corkers!

But other than that they are just letting Langer sit comfortably and he is slowly but surely racking up runs

 

[DanielFullard]

Ntini is cauing Langer no trouble whatsoever here.

 

[DanielFullard]

Langers gone!!!! A very dubious decision and infact hawkeye has just indicated it probably would not have hit. I thought Langer was going to comfortably rack up a big total but this changes things a little

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

If Australia can get to stumps 1 down, they could take control pretty quickly tomorrow with conditions improving.

Nel's bowled well though. Definite chance of more wickets tonight.

Nel has done okay. He has just had a quite expensive over but overall neither him or Ntini made the Aussies play early on and they are just starting to out some pressure on now

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Lee was hinting at some serious reverse swing towards the end of South Africa's innings. Might be interesting around lunchtime tomorrow, with Nel and Hall getting similar movement.

thse dalm selectors why pick Clark over Tait or even MacGill urghhhhhhhh

What's a dalm selector?

Either way, you REALLY want the Greig award this week don't you?

It would make all his hard work worthwhile.

 

[marc71178]

, completely irrelevant to what you have been saying all along. Firstly you wan to start accusing me of being a glory hunter & then when i tell you that accusing me of that makes no sense at all

Actually it makes perfect sense.

 

[marc71178]

Looks like the southies used up all their luck on sunday.

At last the Aussies have found something else to be bitter about and thus the Ashes is relegated to 2nd place!

 

[marc71178]

"Aussies dont have a genuine fast bowling alrounder like Agarkar. thats been their problem over the years"

ROFLMAO - that is pure gold!

To be fair, practically everyone was dubious about Clark's selection. In fact, I'd say you can remove the practically from that. If anyone expected him to do well, they certainly didn't say so before play began.

 

[marc71178]

205 all out. I wonder if SA would have done any better if their batting order was reversed completely.

I blame the dropped catches by SA.

Already after 1 day it's stopped them winning this series like it did in the last one.

 

[marc71178]

It would make all his hard work worthwhile.

To be fair I think he's already got it sown up anyway.

I said he couldn't do any worse than Gillespie or Tait.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

I said he couldn't do any worse than Gillespie or Tait.

Okay, and Nath said he expected him to be a handful. Still, aussie wasn't alone in thinking Clark wasn't test standard.

 

[DanielFullard]

I too had my doubts about Clark at test level but it was a pleasent suprise to see him bowl well for the Aussies. 5-55.....brilliant.

Loved the Warne 'Toe-poke' as they called it on the Aussie Today show this morning.
