***Official*** Australia in South Africa

[pup11]

This truly is McDonald's chance to secure his spot in the Test team with a handy fifty but I see him falling early.

He doesn't have much support left from the other end to do that imo, Siddle can still hang in there, but Hilf is pretty much a walking wicket.

400 should be the target from here now, but still given the kind of platform the openers provided, that too should be considered an underachievement, Australia had a golden chance to bat South Africa out of this game and the series this morning, but the batsmen have completly blown that chance away.

Goneeeeeeeski, rip-snorter of a delivery that from Steyn

Nice and simple that was.

Taking single of the first ball was brilliant from Macca. .

Rubbish bull**** from the whole middle and lower order. From 0/180 to 10/350. ****ing ridiculous.

What an epic collapse. Last 5 wickets gone for 4 runs.

While we(read you) are busy dishing out grammar lessons...

yeah noticed that after I posted, thought i'd fixed it. For some reason I'm always typing their, whether i mean there or they're and having to go back and fix it. Is kinda embarrising to be caught out like that though.
cheers

Amazingly horrible collapse. Ponting, Clarke and Haddin were just abysmal. Better stand-up second innings.

One feels Mcdonald was left stranded short of his maiden century there.

Granted well know better in a couple of hours, but looks to me like the match winning performance may have come from Hughes & Katich yesterday.

Nice collapse though. Glad to see Aus are learning something from England after watching us doing that for way too many years.

Yup, nice to see the attack blast out the tail for a change

The 'one' in question being AB McDonald maybe?

These two Aus-SA series have been so much fun. Just when you think one team is getting on top something happens and completely swings it the other way.

 

[Zinzan]

C'mon SA!! 100+ run lead
