***Official*** South Africa in Australia 2012

[Burgey]

Fine over this from Morkel.

Nine overs max to go today, so Australia should be 20-40 odd in front at the rate they're currently going. Presumably another early start tomorrow, so they could conceivably go nuts for just over an hour or so and still have a decent crack at SA before lunch if Clarke chose to

 

[NUFAN]

Meaningless ones though. Ditto Hussey.

This doesn't answer whether or not he will be right to face the English attack in England.

Obviously SA bowlers here a different matter with their lack of swing.

At what point did the runs become meaningless? Its not as though Australia are 236 runs in front, we are still behind ffs.

Clarke had a good Ashes series in England in 2009 tbf

No-one's going to hit those, too short.

Hah, and now getting pulled for four. Morkel seething for sure.

no but clarke's awesome series in england last time 'round is probably an answer for that.

What has happened to the Vernon we know? Being ineffective on a flattie despite accuracy is one thing, bowling 2 half-trackers an over completely another proposition.

Sounds like Sreesanth


Cop it.

Oh my god Hussey can cover drive.

17:15 Australia v South Africa – Australia @ 2.18 – 1st Innings Lead – $50.00

Wish I put the bet on at a different stage in the match, but will take it.

 

[morgieb]

In the lead. **** today's been ugly for South Africa....

 

[ajdude]

clarke gets to say 220 tonight, they put the foot down tomorrow morning and bat the 2 and a half hours till lunch (maybe 1.5/2 hours to have a go at them before lunch)...he surely couldn't join bradman, lara, sehwag and gayle could he?

 

[Dan]

How long until Rudolph gets an over?

 

[Spikey]

dude threw away a chance for 600* in a test he's not gonna bat all day tomorrow

 

[ajdude]

i said for a couple of hours, surely 80 runs or so in a couple hours at a good click isn't that farfetched? but yeah he'll probably declare soon or something

regardless, we get a double ton AND it's in HD

It's well known that he's not the fittest bowler around in terms of bowling long or multiple spells; it's one of the reasons it took him so long to actually debut. No surprise to see him bowling poorly towards the end of the second consecutive day in the field, really.

 

[Burgey]

Clarkeh. What an amazing vein of form he's in.
