Cricket: Test Cricket

Agreed, Amla's still got plenty of fielding credits as far as I'm concerned.

I don't think we'll get them out for <300, but <350 is a distinct possibility. Their selection changes have also had the effect of weakening their tail: Lee -> Bollinger.

McDonald got a nice welcome to test cricket :D

If SA wants to win i think they need take clark or the other tailenders on the other side asap.. if they can finish them off soon SA needs to score at least 150+ ahead after the 1st innings because i suspect the reason for the high % teams winning batting 1st is pitch deteriorating by the 5th day

It does deteriorate but this aussie attack doesn't look capable of taking advantage of that. They don't really have any tall bowlers who take advantage of uneven bounce like the windies,mcgrath and even the english tall bolwers did. Another key factor is hauritz is nowhere close to warne or even mcgill. If he wins the test for the aussies our buys need to get their heads examined.

I am confident we will win this one. Need to bat well in our first innings.
 
Whats with steyn bowling only 2 overs ??? Somethings not quite right.. Aus added 101 :s This unless they do something phenomenal Aus will soon be heading to 450-500 and then Sa will be struggling to survive let alone draw :s

he has a bruised heel. Him not bowling appears to be a preventative measure.
 
Steyn does it :)

Slower ball - although he is bowling a lot slower than usual.

this over:

127.1
134.2
135.9
139.0
120.4 (Johnson's wicket)
 
Cool .. maybe the okes missed breakfast ;) lunch musta been gooooooooood ;)
 
Smith smacked on the hand, walking off injured. :(

Mac looking as confident and settled as he has all series ... :eek:

35/0 of which Smith scored 30. (Getting irritated by the backward way the Aussies write cricket scores.)

Come on Amla!

his form is horrible, - 5 runs in 14 overs...

Not to mention he is trying his best to run someone out.
