Mitch Marsh in before White please.

 

[Twizzle]

Watson and Marsh bat at 1 and 3, how is White a replacement for them ?

I see Hildich is still around doing his dirty work, I thought he'd left.

 

[Hallatia]

Ponting is in the ODI squad, so I guess White will open?

Go the Proteas!

 

[TheParraboy]

South Africa can draw level with Australia on the ICC ODI rankings with a 3-0 series win

 

[Hallatia]

I read that, apparently Australia will still be ahead by a fraction of a point.

 

[Twizzle]

Ponting is in the ODI squad, so I guess White will open?

Go the Proteas!

Clarkie has opened previously, he could probably step up for one game

 

[beads6]

They better play Cummins! Seriously if he is in the test squad I want to see how he goes in the ODI's

 

[Hallatia]

Someone make the cricket start NOW! I don't want to wait another hour!

 

[Hallatia]

I've got news

Early news from the ground is that Pat Cummins and Mitchell Marsh will make the ODI debuts for Australia. Shane Watson and Shaun Marsh are both out injured so Ricky Ponting will open Here is their team:
1 David Warner, 2 Ricky Ponting, 3 Michael Clarke (capt), 4 Mike Hussey, 5 Steve Smith, 6 Brad Haddin, 7 Mitchell Marsh, 8 Mitchell Johnson, 9 Xavier Doherty, 10 Doug Bollinger, 11 Pat Cummins

 

[Hallatia]

South Africa have won the toss and will bowl

 

[Hallatia]

No Tahir for South Africa tonight

1 Graeme Smith, 2 Hashim Amla, (capt), 3 Jacques Kallis, 4 JP Duminy, 5 Faf du Plessis, 6 David Miller, 7 Mark Boucher (wk), 8 Johan Botha, 9 Dale Steyn, 10 Morne Morkel, 11 Lonwabo Tsotsobe

 

[Patorick]

Surprised Haddin isn't opening.

Anyway...

 

[TheParraboy]

The great man bowls a maiden over

 

[Patorick]

Mike Haysman is the worst.

Wake up early to watch this and it's raining ffs. Shit Stain going for over 8 an over aswell :lol:

Watching this classic 09 has me thinking we were over there in 06 or 07 aswell, we're in that shithole as much as we are India

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

What a joke we only have 10 overs to get as many as we can and these pricks will have 29 to chase a modest total, call the game off ffs this isn't cricket
