1st Test: Australia v South Africa at Brisbane 9-13 Nov

[TheParraboy]

cuz it might be the one where they bowled us out for 47

they cant do that one, cause this rain delay is longer than 25 minutes

 

[El Diablo]

watch the racing

:lol:

I want cricket! I feel the anxiousness coming back in anticipation of play

I hear ya' but still raining. Cue the fill ins. No play anytime soon by the look. Bummmer cause through the week I only get to watch the last hour of play and rely on the radio while I'm at work.

 

[unbreaK]

I highly doubt there'll be any cricket today, it's meant to get worse this afternoon with storms, maybe tomorrow we'll get some play.

 

[hineyrulz]

Pissing down at work still ffs!!

 

[TheParraboy]

what an anti-climax

i feel sad

I am LOVING the rain! Lets be honest we are stuffed this test...so if we can't win I hope it rains for 4 days costing SA the test!

Yeah what a great way for Aussies to play for a draw... I would rather SA just beat us than have a washed out draw knowing we were going to lose.

Of ALL teams I can't stand SA is in the top 2...I like a few of their players but meh...they are ridiculously arrogant at the moment! Glad this rain will cost them 1-2 days. Plus I can't watch much of this test because of work anyway!

I'd rather go to Adelaide at 0-0 than 0-1

 

[TheParraboy]

what? we can still win this test

get SA out under 350 (very possible)

Score similar or over 400

game on, and they are one bat down too

They're arrogant because they're the best cricket team in the world at the moment.. Any team that has 4 of the top 10 batters in the world, 3 of the top 10 bowlers in the world and one of the best fielding teams in the world can pretty much do whatever they want.

Still doesn't mean I'll like them...still doesn't mean I won't pray for rain when we are stuffed.

Is Siddle dead? It is our only chance:lol:

 

[IanG]

With Dumany out it means Australia only have to take 18 wickets instead of the full 20.

He had surgary this morning appaently but will be out of action for 6 months so he wont be playing in their home series either.

Not to sound arrogant

but

Test matches are usually resolved in 4 days anyway these days

With the South African bowling lineup they might not need that long

Too many question marks on our batting order IMO

Hopefully yesterday for our bowlers was just a bad day. A couple of decisions go the other way and SA could have easily been 5 down. Not to mention Siddle taking a wicket off a no ball :x

Shame it's raining though regardless of possible result

Australian Cricket Team
UPDATE: Teams are now back in their hotels so due to the rain so far today, it's looking unlikely Day 2 will see any play.
