2009 AUS tour to SA - Tests, T20s and ODIs

[stefan9]

He is actually right. Usually we would have an odi on wednesday the friday and the sunday. This week we have an odi on a Thursday and a Monday. I have no idea why they can't play odi's over the easter weekend. I would have though it would be perfect timing.

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.

It swings for 10 overs in the morning. If you see it off you can still post a decent total. Its not as bad as at newlands at night time. Aus just collapsed even with the swing they should never have been bowled out for 131.

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.

Parnell and Steyn compliment eachother well!

Yup steyn and parnell for president!!!!!!!!

I was at the game yesterday and it was awesome!

Must say the guys looked a lot more pumped up for this game while fielding.

The crowd was also cheering loudly after every over and boosting the bowlers ball by ball, was truely great to see.

** was laughing at a guy haolding a Sheep teddy bear shouting " Ricky's wife loves the green green grass of home!"

[Flanders]

If we can't win the toss its better if it rains out. If we bat second we have virtually no chance at newlands.

Why you say so stefan? Thats what everyone thought at centurion when we lost the toss again and look what happened there.

Is it raining n stuff in CT?

It was a day game in Centurion

There is always an advantage batting first at Newlands in a Day/Night game

At cape town for day/night matches the team batting first wins 80% of the games.

Centurion isn't nearly as bad as Durban and Newlands. The toss is crucial at these grounds.
