Lets hope that this pays off.

Brave decision. If we skittle them early, it would be a brilliant decision

There better be something in the pitch as:

1) The Aussies play better in control and feed of good starts.
2) We will bat last on this pitch and if it helps the spinners I really feel Aus have the better of spinner in their team :(


You muct be joking.


Lyon will only get wickets if the Saffers go after him and play silly shots.

He really is no threat as a spinner..... and the Saffers do play spin better than most.

Considering that we bowled first, I expect us to have the Aussies 3 down by lunch...

We really need to get them out below 250 IMO.

Bowling 1st, attacking move!!!

Might be, or it was the Aussie head games that won out.

I do not think Lyon is brilliant but if we have a look at the stats he edges Peterson.

Also the Aussies are better players of Spin than SA.

Neah....

I still think that we have better batsmen . Hash, AB even Faf... all pretty handy against spin.

JP does not like spin all that much and neither does smith. I still think the Aussies play spin better in general.

Who watched the re-run of the 434 run chase last night. Even though I knew the outcome was on the edge of my seat for the last few overs - was Brilliant
