Nope good bowling poor batting, gave their wickets away, also some wicked swing bowling. Bye ntini welcome parnell

similar to how we went out last match, bowling was just awesome.

Totally different game today compared to Friday:). Excellent bowling upfront by Parnell and Steyn:).

again though the pitch favoured one side because in the morning the ball swings like crazy but afternoon it hardly moves.

Again the next one will be favoured by the toss, all that happened today was ponting never chose to bat second which was stupid.

On a side note, do you think Ntini would be worried about his place in the ODI team?

No doesn't. It swing for 10 overs and then gets better. If aus batted properly and saw off the new ball like they should have they could have competed.

But newlands the toss is crucial. Biff better get a magic charm for that game.

Great performance by the boys. a Better side picked as well. I liked parnell for ntini,ntini just isn't a good odi bowler any more. Roelf for morne was also good. Till morne gets his grove back its better to go with the extra allrounder.

I did not see aus swing it like parnell and steyn, sure the white new ball is a problem but its far more of a problem in the cooler morning session.

11 all rounder team is the way to go imho. Steyn, parnel , albie, good bowlers who can wack the ball a bit.

I hope so, I'm sick of his one dimensional bowling! In 10 years of international cricket he still doesn't have a slower ball, or any other ball for that matter. Parnell comes in at 19 years old and not only has a slower ball, but swing too.

Been saying it for a while now, our younger talent is far better than Ntini. Ntini is one of those bowlers who will have a good innings with 4 or 5 wickets, and then get smashed around for the rest of the series.
