Rain saved Australia last year at the Gabba. A bit too late here though.

 

[Gideon]

What a time for the rain to come. Surely SA will win even if D-L comes into effect.

 

[Jdz]

Is the rain that heavy?

Boring! This is horrible! We only neede 2 more balls!

 

[auscricket]

Haha, just to add to the drama is the rain. D/L suggests 220, so it shouldn't affect the result. Hope we get some more play though.

 

[Josh]

Lee's gotta stop being used in the last 10 overs I'm afraid.

 

[Gideon]

Play is set to resume in 15 mins :|

Surely they can get on the field quicker then that.

 

[auscricket]

Lee's gotta stop being used in the last 10 overs I'm afraid.

100% with you, he just loses it. He can come up with an awesome performance, like that one a few years ago against some team where he bowled the tail end out in an over or something. He's gotta control himself better.

 

[jot1]

Maybe the rain should continue. We are notorious for chucking the game away in the last over.

I think that was against England in the 2nd VB Series final back in 2002/03. Bowled well then. Generally though, his brain falls out of his head and he bowls pretty dumb.

England lol.

Yeh I think they need to find other avenues because Lee just loses control and goes nuts and stuffs up!! Bring back Ian Harvey

Maybe the rain should continue. We are notorious for chucking the game away in the last over.

Possible outcomes:

1) Boucher gets another nick over Gilchrist's head, that'd be the 3rd today
2) Bowler bowls a huge bouncer that goes for 4 byes
3) SA hit a 6

We are indeed notorious ... Kaspa ... Lee

 

[Jono]

Great win South Africa. Terrific considering their depleted bowling line-up, that's a very good performance. Good fight back from Australia, but SA earnt that victory.

 

[Josh]

Yeh, great win I must say. Aussies were in a good position but fell away with their bowling. Hopes and Lee just giving away too many runs in that crucial period.

 

[jot1]

Well done to us!

 

[Langeveldt]

Haha what a pleasant surprise this sunday morning! Kemp, the new Flintoff.. Looks like a great team effort and I look forward to watching..

 

[Nate]

Gah, how frustrating. Well done to the Saffies though, really used the conditions. Symonds underused IMO.

 

[SJS]

I defy you to beat our beloved India at that

This is Australia's best squad of 12, and ideally the team I would like to see in the VB series - though it obviously won't happen. I do think, though, that all of these players will, and should, be there for the World Cup. In batting order:

Gilchrist
Martyn
Ponting
Clarke
Symonds
Hussey
Watson
Hogg
Lee
Warne
McGrath
Bracken
