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

[Burgey]

AB grinds out another tough 150.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Gosh this is fun, I obviously hope we win, but AB is back in form!

I still recon, a quick warner 100 pontings last test, clarke and watsons form... Could be some cricket left.

Faf taking mitch to the cleaners now.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

This all feels very English.

 

[cricman]

Faf a gew runs away from a sparkling 300 average

 

[howardj]

Can't believe we have full time selectors who get paid for this ****.

You don't need selectors

Each bowler is a generic bowling unit

To be rotated in and out of the group (even for our 'grand final')

We have good "bowling stock"

There is no pecking order

 

[Howsie]

Declaration bowling?

 

[Rasimione]

Abraham is canning it....carnage in progress. talk about ramming home an advantage.

 

[Spikey]

100 stand up already

 

[cricman]

There's children watching this

 

[Spikey]

that's one for the hall of fame. gets points for desperation

 

[Cabinet96]

Relying on Johnson to have pitched it in line. Poor form.

 

[benchmark00]

Defs a tactical one, just wanted a feed.

CLARKE YOU GENIUS!!!!!!

[Spikey]

we lose by 500 runs and mj's gonna keep his spot.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Downhill ton coming.

This is definitely the type of situation that's made for AB.

Ha, played.

draw = sa win remember

Nah, don't buy that. Think we're getting too hung up on the "#1 in the rankings" dealy.

Oz still hold the "Whatever the **** it's called" Trophy after their draw in the Republic, don't they? Bet the Saffers want it back.

exactly what was the reasoning behind Hastings getting selected? as a South african, makes no sense at all.

Could bat a bit, was in decent domestic bowling form. One of the oft-rotated part time ODI mob.

He rotten, tbh.

Selectors need to start watching games and not relying on cricinfo. Good figures, but just doesn't look a test bowler. Looks like a typical county trundler feasting on sappy late spring/early summer greentops.

That was a terrible innings. You'd think someone from South Africa of all places could play the short ball better than that.

Made Raina look like Robin Smith, tbh.

Surely the Saffer selectors must've had an idea he couldn't play short stuff. At all.

That being so, a debut at the WACA?

Johnson can make himself look like a real hero here if he bends over and makes out he's really really tired.

Always working the anti-Vic angle; beautiful in its way.

Ha, a wicket! Du Plessis a hack, etc, etc.

 

[Spark]

Decent catch given he was eating

 

[Howsie]

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Clarke playing for time with that review.

The bounce getting Faf out. Good signs for morkel.

 

[Burgey]

Christ, Australian cricketers running into bowl with a mouth full of lollies taking wickets. ****s should do it all the time, have CA pick up the dental bills.

 

[ajdude]

du Plessis' average plummets from 293 to a mere 146.5
