***Official*** South Africa In Australia

[Evermind]

ABDV = best fielder in the world since Jonty Rhodes.

 

[pasag]

Another one!

 

[Uppercut]

I think the key is not to bowl short to guys like Johnson and bowl to him as you would to Hayden and Katich.

Yeah maybe. But they got him with a short one in the first innings but Ntini stumbled over the rope.

 

[Craig]

sixezzz

And all of a sudden Haddin is one of the best players in the Aussie team.

To borrow a quote from Heals:

"He hit the best shot so far in this game, remember? In the first innings! He hit Kallis straight over his head for 6, what a shot!"

Yes Ian, we get it...

 

[Craig]

Not a shot at you, but if anybody can come up with a better way to stop guys like Johnson scoring so freely and get him out, then say so.

 

[Pratters]

Come on South Africa! Will be awesome if they (the team I always support apart from India) win this.

 

[Evermind]

Bring Steyn back!

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Thought as I type he continues the tradition of Australian batsmen throwing away their wickets!!

Getting a bit carried away, no?

 

[Beleg]

brilliant counter attack by haddin. he deserves to hold his spot in the team just for that.

I'm amazed anybody actually listens to him.

 

[Craig]

Nearly a return catch there.

Was more a reference to this match. Hussey, Clarke (twice), Symonds (twice) and Haddin have all been out to some pretty poor shot selection.

Nah i see what you're getting at, i was just pointing out that their plan would've worked well for Johnson if Ntini could keep his balance. The idea against tail-enders is to get them onto the back foot but if these guys are good on the short stuff it's a crap plan anyway.

Since when did Harris started to spin the ball like a top....

Anyways given the kind of game Mitch has had so far, i guess expecting a 50 from him would only be fair enough....

Yeah becoming a bit of a trend now, hope it turns around ASAP.

....or a golden.

 

[Alysum]

Krezaj is good at defending, this will enable Haddin to make a big one hopefully.
Strange action Harris has, he keeps his arm pretty low - I hope he keeps it staight

 

[Johnners]

I think Nath hit the nail on the head during the first day when he said Australian batsmen don't seem to value their wickets nearly enough anymore.

Predicting massive SA choke on day 4.
