I really hope he returns by Boxing Day though, because I'd love to see him bat. I've never seen him bat in test matches yet, only in ODIs.

I don't know, it's almost worth Kemp staying in the team just to hear Warne give him another personal tutorial on the nuances of leg-spin. Funniest on-field moment in quite some time.

LOL that's true. "Its called a leg break, Darryl."
Absolute gold.

Nel shaking his head claiming he didn't hit it.. replays showed it came straight off the glove. What a parasite

That was appaling.

It's one thing standing one's ground with a blank expression but to shake your head during the appeal when you have blatently gloved it was a disgrace.

Boucher should be fined for cheating but I'm sure instead they will find someone who has a bat sponder 1 millimeter out of place instead.

Then again, doesn't help when you have inept umpires missing obvious things.

I really hope you mean you havent seen him bat live in test matches yet, because otherwise you should not have made such judgements about him...

Yes Mr. Pedantic, I've never seen him bat live.

Catches win matches. By my count SAf have dropped 7 this match totalling in an extra roughly 300 runs conceded with 190 after Kemp grassed Hodge. So potentially SAf could be chasing 200 to win rather than 500 win. Wats easier?? u do the math

Lovely bowling from Lee.

How much has he improved since his return to tests? It really is quite remarkable that the bowler that's averaging around 20 this summer is the same guy who went for 100 in 17 overs at Edgbaston.

Haha yeah, that was brilliant.

'Its called a LEGBREAK. You got no idea, I'm just gonna call you Darryl.'

lolm yep Bings been very good since the australian summer has began really am happy for him.

 

[aussie]

around half-hour to lunch, SA have only lost one hopefully the aussies can send one more back before the break.

 

[vic_orthdox]

If I were to be selfish, I hope it's a draw. It sets up Boxing Day so well...

 

[aussie]

WARNEY, finally

 

[Top_Cat]

Justin Kemp really has no clue against Warnie, does he?

 

[GotSpin]

Phil Jaques is in for boxing day

Phil Jaques is in for boxing day

Excellent!

Rudolph has played so well. Whether Kallis returns or not, he'll definitely be in the team for the Boxing Day test.

 

[aussie]

christ its hard enough stayin up in the middle of the night to watch the game, but dalm these SA's are putting me to sleep, just get outtttttt geeeeez

 

[Demolition Man]

Daylight savings (lack of it) in WA could cost the aussies the win, as they would have got in more overs yesterday.

Or we blame the frigging victorian, who said he shoud be picked for australia. No we should blame the Suddies for dropping him on 13

 

[Jono]

Good 50 Rudolph, has actually batted as a 'replacement' for Kallis in this second innings, or as close as one could get.

 

[Right arm fast]

how many on the trot has warney bowled now?
