1st Test: South Africa v Australia at Cape Town Nov 9-13, 2011

Harris and Watson bowled magnificent. I think Siddle and Johnson were wayward and we'd be better of served with Pattison or Cummins in the side, if not both. They have line and length and would've perhaps made the scoreboard even more embarrassing for the Saffa's. That's the big secret (not!) bowl at the stumps at a good length consistently and be rewarded. McGrath showed us the way for a decade +, why these youngsters took so long to understand that basic fundamental I'll never know..

What I don't understand is how Watson is the only bowler we have that can move the ball. Johnson can't even bowl seam up ffs. To have a second change bowler routinely come on and show up the openers has become beyond ridiculous.

Ryan Harris is our strike bowler now, just have to keep him fit, the pie chucker Johnson needs to sort out what lines to bowl or piss him off.

We really need to be serious about pissing off Johnson, bring back Dougy or start grooming a new paceman. Sunshine dow nto no 6, and bowling more and more, he is that good now, always consistant

You could tell after the first two balls that Watson was not going to last the over.

Ponting really needs to step up in this innings and prove he deserves his spot beyond the second test.

I dont think Marsh is gonna bat this dig, or if he does it will be down the order

I reckon Punter will shine this dig, a good decent 75 plus for mine

Agree on both counts although Watson could be a 4 because I don't see the fight in him for 6. Even though Watson has made runs at opener he is still a slight liability in that position as shown by his third ball dismissal.

Johnson is just pure crap.
