Not how I'd describe this one.

In case folks hadn't noticed, this is the Australia in South Africa tour thread. Let me make that clearer
Australia
South Africa
Note the lack of "England" in those words (jokes about South Africans in the English team aside).
Consider this a general warning. People bringing up the English (or any other team) for no good reason (ie. not as part of the natural flow of conversation or as part of a natural comparison whilst sticking to the central topic of the Australian or South African teams) will be construed by me as trolling and I'll not hesitate to hand out points.
Carry on.

Mark Nicolas seriously ruins that whole hattrick.
When's the feature to mute out the commentary coming into being?

Gotta be an ironic post, surely?
There's a difference between mentioning England as a natural part of the conversation (ie will South Africa's bowlers do the same to the Australian batting as England's did) and just randomly inserting the fact that this England side is the greatest in the history of the universe when the discussion is about how well Mitchell Johnson bowled in South Africa last time round.

No. He wanted things done differently than what went on and never really had his way. Hidilch and Chappel did pretty much whatever they wanted.

It was one guy and he's an irritating troll who needs to **** off.
Everyone please ignore his baits.

Don't know why I am replying to you but I couldn't resist.
You were bragging about England like usual and trying to undermine Australia and South Africa in their own thread. So yes you were baiting.

Is praising Australia baiting? The emphasis of my post was based purely upon the contest between Australia and South Africa. As you well know.
Now grow up and post on topic!
Australia are my pick to win this series.
Yeah nice phrasing there.
Replying to trolls is always a mistake I guess.
Is this your way of saying you own a mirror?I can only see one person dragging this off-topic and trying to bait supporters of cricket!
Stop spamming and return to the topic at hand please!

Maybe I'm not on here enough but I haven't noticed any over-the-top posting by England supporters.
Two factors will make this series closer than I would have predicted a few months ago, that Australia did relatively well in SL and that SA have played bugger-all international cricket in ages. The Saffer back-up bowlers have big question marks too so they'll be reliant on early wickets but they'll have plenty of opportunities for them against an Aussie line-up full of nervy starters.
Since it'll likely be a series of risk-free cricket, as a punter we'll have to do it for them. Risky prediction; AB to not score a ton all series.

You make it sound like there is an actual series rather than two ****ty tests.
