***Official*** South Africa In Australia

[aussie]

This really is a idiot selection picking McDonald though & then batting Haddin @ 6. Its like in back over here when England played SA @ Edgbaston & Ambrose batted @ 6.

Hope it doesn't back-fired.

 

[Mister Wright]

Katich the leading run scorer for 2009. Wonder if that will remain in December.

Why? McDonald and Haddin are both all-rounders. There is no way he would have been picked were he unable to bowl, and Haddin is an established bat.

And this sightscreen is a joke. Over-rates...

I wonder what Hayden will say .

 

[Mr Casson]

I thought ICC regulations meant it had to be half an hour before the start of play?

Something like that. We just had a relatively clever punter dump a massive amount on Australia to win it at 9:56. Seems fishy to me.

 

[pasag]

Carn Haydos, don't get out.

 

[Jono]

Top shot Katman.

 

[Mister Wright]

Didn't really notice the commentators until Taylor started talking. 'Shocking' is being kind to the man.

 

[GIMH]

Yeah, lovely shot and I think Mark Nicholas nearly creamed his pants

 

[Zinzan]

Such an important toss to win by Ponting by the look of this wicket

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Hope Katich can make a big one today. For a guy with a knack for big scores at domestic level he's been throwing away good starts a fair bit since he came back into the test side.

 

[Zinzan]

Yeah, lovely shot and I think Mark Nicholas nearly creamed his pants

No, I think he does that when he watches himself on the TV replays later in the day

Well he's continuing to look so sure of his own game here. Uncanny cricketer

 

[Craig]

He does that all the time TBF.

 

[Mister Wright]

He does that all the time TBF.

Pretty sure they showed the event on hotspot.

 

[GIMH]

 

[Zinzan]

Pretty sure they showed the event on hotspot.

 

[Craig]

Pretty sure they showed the event on hotspot.

 

[Mister Wright]

New year. New fortune for Hayden. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come today.

 

[Craig]

Katich out.
