2008/09 SA tour to AUS - ODIs and Twenty20s

[Guest 20221009]

Amazing stuff, the only remaining thing is to rename our new found colony, disband their team and revoke McGrath's citizenship

Great playing, boys.
So nice to beat the Ozzies.
Now let's cream 'em in the remaining two. And make sure they don't beat us at home.

There's only one left. We are 3-1 up atm.

We beat Australia on their National Day. Feeling good right about now

The commentators keep going on about the missing Aussie players, yet they conveniently forget our missing key players. More than just that, at this rate we would have chased down well over 300...

1 run to go. AB, put it in the stands, boytjie!!!

Ummm who is missing? Smith a batsmen? The aussies are mighty short of good players and i think denying that would prove pointless.

No excuses as to why they suck so bad of late but they are missing alot of key players and experienced players no doubt about it.

Maybe you should remove the "Brisbane" thingy from your location

 

[fonefreak]

The boys have done us South Africans proud.

No matter where I am, I'll always be a South African

Isn't this the same SA ODI side that lost 4-0 to England? And would have been 5-0 but for the weather?

The ashes are gone.

And NZ kicked England's ass just quietly.

And Bangladesh nearly beat us....

And Zimbabwe beat them...

Zimbabwe > Australia?

By that logic, I'm going with yes.

So chiskop, we only win the 'real' cricket not the mickey mouse thingies?

The Aussies jinxed themselves on Aussie day: 222 (double nelson)

 

[rwenzori]

Fantastic win - quite a thrashing in fact!

 

[AirWolf]

Well done SA.

That other game where we lost by 5 runs was ours for the taking as well.

 

[HypoThesis]

Has anyone ever beaten the aussies in a test and one day series in their backyard?

Not since Richie Richardson's West Indians in 1992-93 has a touring side won both Test and one day series in Australia, a harsh reminder of how far Ricky Ponting's men have fallen.

Straight from an Aussie news site.

Those same players got smashed by the indians recently. they may have made a difference or they may have failed as well.

Our boys deserve all the credit. They have smashed the aussies at home.

 

[chiskop]

Who's missing from our team? Smith, Prince and Boucher, all of whom are senior players who have captained the team on occasion, IIRC.

So chiskop, we only win the 'real' cricket not the mickey mouse thingies?

Correct.

That depends. Their nelson is 87, since it's 13 from a 100 and 13 according to them is an unlucky number.
