Australian cricket tour of South Africa September/October 2026

[Neoprod]

Same for me. I value away wins more. Sydney 94 and Melbourne 2008, JP + Dale pulling us from 140/6 to 450-odd to set up our first post-apartheid series win in Aus...

Yeah, we've won 2 series in India which should matter because of how hard it is to do (they do) but I don't feel much for them. I guess the Aussies have always been the benchmark since re-admission.

I'd throw that session of Amla and Smith smashing it to all parts at the Waca 2012 in there also...200 runs in the session when the game was still in the balance to set up the series win.

I can't remember the match or the opponents. But some years ago, I think it was Steyn bowling; the batsman hit the ball straight back to the bowler, who caught it. The batsman asked, "Did you catch it?" in disbelief, and the bowler just nodded and smiled.

Had fires to put out from around 2pm till now. What did I miss?

 

[Devo1]

Nah , there are some level headed people on here.

Go back on the thread to play on day 1 and read the comments.

You can add Test 1 to that reading list in the thread.

I heard a stat that this is the first time the Aussies have lost a test match after Head has scored a century.

 

[bwana]

Pity there weren't more spectators. Bit sad.

You can blame the weather and the period it was scheduled over... or apathy towards test cricket.

Fortunately a small crowd at St George's still produces a nice atmosphere.

to be fair they lost the test BEFORE he scored it. Head could have scored 200 and they still wouldn't have won it.

I saw you can get a desk at workshop 17 for R600 for the day... I'm thinking about it.

Its the hope that kills.

We have a little magic trick here where as we lose hope the side pulls it together. The correlation is unbelievable.

Who do we have in the squad to replace Nortje?

You need to get your face scanned and get parking Stubbs for the high school.

You have to watch through the glass of the offices, the roof balcony or by the railway bridge.
They don’t let you into the seating area..

It’s this workshop 17 building.

Who do we have in the squad to replace Nortje?

Bosch or Karate kid

Like for like - Gerald Coetzee.

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

Bosch or Karate kid

Bosch should be playing regardless. Drop one of the walking wickets...

Ay, at one point it looked like he and Scott Boland invoking the spirit of Don Bradman were going to force a draw.

 

[Werner1975]

you work at a call centre ?

No, but these people I work for adheres strict discipline in the office. Turks. say no more.

No love for Dane?

I don't rate Gerald or Bosch that highly. Bosch's batting can go either way, certainly not a solid all-rounder.

61 with the bat and 18 with the ball is ok, even with only 4 tests.

County cricket bowled him into the group. He almost 38 and his pace has dropped a lot. 5+ Kph slower then Wiaan Mulder. I don't rate 38 year old version Dane.
