***Official*** Australia in South Africa

[0RI0N]

Who will be Johnson's 100th wicket do you reckon? There are 36, or 37 (depending on Smith) wickets still available in this series and he's on 88 at the moment, so you'd think he is an even money bet to get there this series... I'll say Steyn.

One Kevin Pietersen...Sophia Gardens? Get the feeling that KP is going to have a bad Ashes '09?Wouldn't mind Midge owning KP(like Aldermann vs Gooch '89).

Alastair Cook would be my guess.

Might own him with a broken arm.

[Protean]

Kallis

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Far out blood.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

TBF to Smith, he was in a cast in Sydney as well.

Farkkkkkk re: Kallis. Would be so painful.

 

[Matt79]

Johnson retiring a second Proteas here?

 

[pasag]

Kallis hurt pretty bad it seems, what an incredible couple of spells from Johnson. Crazy day of Test cricket.

 

[0RI0N]

And they say Test cricket is dead...

You two don't think Johnson's going to take a third of Australia's wickets in this test and the next if we manage to win?

 

[Demolition Man]

wow, would not want to be facing johnson at the moment.

 

[Matt79]

Yep, Kallis off. If he gets the chance, Ponting would have to enforce the follow on here...

 

[Johnners]

Have gremlins in the pitch played any part in the 2 injuries, or is it simply a lethal spell of bowling?

Deffo, gives Kallies less time to recover.

 

[wpdavid]

Gee this is a throwback to the good old days when WI did this from time to time.

Memo to the ECB - do NOT produce any quick tracks this summer.

Nah not quite. especially with Smith not batting twice and who knows about Kallis now.

 

[Demolition Man]

Have to feel for Steyn especially, he is going to cop it.

 

[wfdu_ben91]

Johnson has just cleaned up South Africa's two best batsman.

Kallis was sledging Johnson in Australia aswell. Johnson very well made Kallis eat his own words.

 

[Jamee999]

I wonder how often two batsmen have retired hurt in the same innings.

might depend on the ratio of broken bones to broken stumps.

While the former is more effective it doesn't pump up the stats.
