***Official*** South Africa In Australia

Fair go. Has been dodging bombs in Pakistan for about 3 years.

But according to him it's perfectly safe! Pretty sure they'd have the net in Pakistan too......

 

[vic_orthdox]

Maybe three sets of brothers if John Rennie, Gavin Rennie played against the Waughs...

What about the Whittals?

EDIT: Super bit of work for that run out.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Few things amuse me more than Nathan Bracken running with pads on, and thrusting his bat forth as though he is attempting to reach the finals of the Olympic Fencing.

That, and Haddin hasn't really opened for NSW for quite a while.

Yeah make that four. Guy was one of my favorite cricketers as a boy. Had cool hair.

Nath just creamed his pants.

 

[TT Boy]

Dale Steyn, so unlucky today.

Best I’ve seen him bowl in ODI’s (excluding New Zealand, West Indies, Bangladesh et cetera...)

 

[Jono]

Nath just creamed his pants.

Haha all of CW watching thought that as well.

 

[Craig]

How did it miss the middle stump?

 

[Jono]

Haha Bill Lawry is right, Mark Boucher does look like he cbf

Great save to be fair to him from that wide, but I reckon his body is feeling this tour.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Not the greatest Australian innings, had heaps of let offs early and still didn't take advantage of it. Seemed to be too conscious of making a proper transition from Twenty20s to ODIs. Clarke especially seemed to have no idea. Hussey was great though.

Anything over 250 tends to be a good score at the G. Tends to be a lot harder to bring up the boundaries, although the deck is a bit easier to score on this season.

Last time we see M. Morkel bowl in the final overs for this series me thinks.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Geez, CW's been down for a bit.

Competitive total, nice work from Marsh, Dussey, and Haddin at the end, though SA bowled pretty decently until the end, just fielded poorly. Australia probably favourites at innings break, definitely are now after early wickets. SA need a big innings from one of these two.

 

[Dydl]

Finally can comment on the game again!

Gibbs a big wicket; was looking good.

Give us some credit, we are not that bad of an ODI side. We have been ranked 2nd and 3rd before in recent years it is our stronger suit then Tests.

 

[Nate]

Bracken (hearts)

Good start for Australia. Hope the fifth bowler doesn't hurt us.

Certainly don't have a good record against anyone with genuine pace, though.

True, I never said they were better then Australia or South Africa, but he seems to be putting them down as rubbish, which they are not.

 

[Alysum]

Not sure why Hopes keep getting picked, he's done nothing today Hauritz would have scored more runs and we need a proper spinner...
