How old is Mark Boucher really? Officially he's only 34 but he seems to have been playing for 97 years.

I can't wait, toss was supposed to happen 20 minutes ago. I feel like I have waited my whole life for this and now I have to keep waiting ='(

You take South Africa a little too seriously

 

[Hallatia]

I have been looking forward to this for what feels like forever. I am sure others have too.

Hala is a poms supporter , oh hold on, South Africa A supporter I mean

 

[Hallatia]

no, I am South Africa. I just happen to love the Ashes and not be overly fond of the Australian side, plus England are basically South Africa A.

Hope they're ready to get destroyed by Phil Hughes again.

The sun is out, and things look pretty good at the moment! The Aussies are taking a close look at the pitch, which looks pretty brown with a few dark green patches, from where Firdose is watching. Peter Siddle has just marked out his run-up, so make what you may want to from that. He had a very good tour here the last time around. As did Phil Hughes.

So Siddle appears to be in the side
