10am: South Africa win the toss and choose to bowl

Is it a good idea...or they see something in the pitch?

No. It's negative. Should have batted first. Aussies got into Saffers heads as always.

 

[Wall]

Lets hope that this pays off.

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

 

[SinghDude]

****in stupid.


Centurion is always a bat first wicket.


Idiots.

 

[CHURCHILL]

Good Luck chaps

 

[SinghDude]

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.

 

[Drifter]

Bowling 1st, attacking move!!!

 

[Wall]

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.

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.

 

[Wall]

COME ON BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Creag]

Finally this time has come... let the games begin

 

[Sapcat]

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

 

[Wall]

GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
