***Official Australia in South Africa***

[GotSpin]

You're joking. No way should Clark be getting a game over MacGill, especially on a pitch expected to turn. You'd think that with Clark playing they could take out Symonds and put in a real test batsman (Clarke), and at least make one right decision. Looks like you were wrong about Martyn getting a game over Clarke.

The teams, by the way:

South Africa team:
*GC Smith, AB de Villiers, HH Gibbs, JH Kallis, AG Prince,
JA Rudolph, +MV Boucher, N Boje, AJ Hall, A Nel, M Ntini.

Australia team:
JL Langer, ML Hayden, *RT Ponting, DR Martyn, MEK Hussey,
A Symonds, +AC Gilchrist, SK Warne, B Lee, MS Kasprowicz,
SR Clark.

hope Kaspa does well ...well everyone actually

For the record, MacGill >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tait

Macgill is terrible

 

[andyc]

?

Oh god.
I'd explain it, but it'd take too long. I'm currently writing an English and History assignment so I'm very distracted. And I'm just an idiot.

 

[Nate]

No worries Nady.

FTR - Kapser will do excellently. And Clark should be a handful IMO.

 

[DanielFullard]

Surely I am not the only one who thinks Bracken should be playing?

 

[andyc]

Surely I am not the only one who thinks Bracken should be playing?

No, definetely not the only one. He'd get a game over Clark in my books anyday.

Welcome to CW, by the way.

well he would be a better option that Clark, but he's playing so hopefully he goes well..

 

[Perm]

Dont worry DF. I think he is a far better bowler than Clark yet I've no idea why he is not playing.

 

[aussie]

For the record, MacGill >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tait

well yea, but that doesn't matter now Clark is playing

 

[DanielFullard]

Anyone know if the weather conditions have changed from yesterdays report?

The coverage should be starting on TV right about now so if anyone sees anything of note in the next 10 minutes let me know

Daniel, I`m Nath, and I get bashed frequently for my probably unhealthy obsession with Bracks.

Seriously though, I reckon he`s a gun player. But I like Lee, Kasper and Clark as well.

Surely he play at least one match in this series?

It is a three match series isnt it?

Yeah I'll admit that Clark has grown on me recently. I'd still prefer to see Bracken in there, though.

Anyway, to the game. Will be interesting to see how Kasper goes opening the bowling. With the things recently said about Lee's workload, we might actually see Symonds get a bowl this match. Should be good, hopefully he does well.

indeed, im a little dissapointed Clark is in over Macgilla

He's already gone back to Australia, Daniel. He's not in the test squad for some reason.

Result: Aus 2 - SA 0
Man of the Series: Warne
Top Runscorer: Ponting
Top Wicket-taker: Warne

wouldn't argue with that

 

[age_master]

Solid first over from Lee, nice save from Symonds in Kaspa's over - 2 no balls so far though hopefully he will find some good rythm soon.

 

[andyc]

Kasper starts off with 2 no balls in his first four balls.

 

[Pedro Delgado]

Any swing/seam out there?
