[AthenianOwl]

5-0!!!!! NEVER SAW IT COMING AT ALL!!! Mitchell Johnson, in my opinion, is the MAN OF THE SERIES!!!

Great series ! Well played Australia !

For sure.

Our batsmen are in for a treat when the Aussies get here next month.

Best we do our homework properly.

These Aussies will be cock a hoop and boy, do I dislike their facial expressions - it's like looking at a roomful of Kevin Pietersens

Shame Mickey Arthur isn't around.

Shame Mickey Arthur isn't around.

He is unemployed and because of it the aussies won, so why would you want him back?

The south africans suffer from the same thing as england in that they are reactive, hopefully that changes otherwise the aussies will be calling the shots

Yip, we were outplayed 3 1/2 days out of 5 in first test against India and they didn't have a Mitchell or a Siddle.

Fortunately the Indians gave our bowlers some good stick which means we're not complacent in that department (and they hit Tahir out of the attack which is a good thing!)

I wonder if the thrashed English will update the original Ashes notice from 1892?

SA will be a different beast to England. England were complete and utter ****, Our A team would have given Australia a better challenge.

I expect us to wipe the floor with Aus. Their batting is brittle. How many times in this series were they 90/5 and escaped??? SA won't let that sort of advantage slip

+1

But we must be ruthless - no slip ups

I cried when the Ozzies got 10th wicket One of the best Test series I have ever watched in my entire life.

The Aussies actually batted poorly, it was their bowling that undid the Pommies.


we have only one man to worry about.

Both openers scored two centuries each, number 3 scored one, number 4 one , number 5 two, and wicketkeeper number 7 a truckjload of runs...the only consistent failure was the number 6

Aus did have a mitchell and siddle when we chased 400+ in Perth...

The old, undisciplined Mitchell, not this one.
