***Official Australia in South Africa***

Great stuff by Ponting and Hayden, and Gilchrist`s over was awesome.

Gilly! Stumping!

I can not believe what Nel did to Gilchrist after being smacked around. When that happens, you go back to your mark and don't say anything. I'm all for a bit of chatter between the two teams, but that's just stupid... he's only making a fool of himself.

Geez, Sth. Africa are doing a lot better than i expected.

 

[Nate]

I agree completely. Though I do partially blame Smith, the captain should be telling the bowler to keep his head down in those situations.

 

[benchmark00]

Hahaha who's listening to ABC radio?

Who is this bloke who's on now, the guy that's close to being incomprehendable?

He's a crackup, loved his work last test and this one. Up there with Waqar's commentary.

 

[Nate]

Langer doesn`t drop anything, even though he tried bloody hard to.

 

[Top_Cat]

Two quick wickets to Warnie and the Saffies would be spooked right now. I say, bring on Lee and tell him to cook up a steaming hot plateful of chin music!

 

[Nate]

Warne to take 9-for... that is all.

C`mon Aussies.

 

[Nate]

Warnie! Goodbye Mr. Bore-meister.

 

[cameeel]

Yes!

Warne gets another

 

[Nate]

Can I count that towards Warnie`s 9-for? Haha, stuff Clark.

 

[cameeel]

Anyone know how many overs are left?

CricInfo isn't working for me.

 

[Nate]

I don`t know what the Net is saying, but I`m estimating 65 overs.

 

[andyc]

Cricinfo has it at 59

I was intially dissapointed to see the 3rd test not listed on Skys Cricket pages but I flicked through the TV Guide today and gladly its on

Is Gibbs really worthy of his place in this team at Test level on current form?

 

[cameeel]

Yes!

Prince gone! South Africa 5 down now.

It wasn't that long ago he scored a 90 and a quickfire 50 in Sydney, looking like he'd take them to victory before Kallis ran him out.

In summary, yes he's worthy.

According to the radio - Kallis, Smith's, Prince wickets were all poor decisions. Thats pretty sad and being an Aus fan makes for a bit of a hollow victory. If we win, of course

From the sounds of it, the umpiring this test hasn't been very good at all. That said, I did see a repeat of the de Villiers appeal in the first innings off Lee that people were saying was plumb, and to me it looked to be going a bit high.

 

[aussie]

lovely 5 down now, 5 more 2 go, Go Australia wrap this up..

edit: 6 down Rudolph goes yeaaaaaa

 

[Jdz]

Australia to win.
