1st Test: South Africa v Australia at Centurion Feb 12-16, 2014

[no name]

Apparently Smith "consulted" with his fast bowlers if SA should bowl first, LOL

Didn't he also leave it to the batsman with 3 wickets left to do what they wanted against india in that drawn first test, when victory was so near, they decided to go for the draw, LOL

How can the bloke have a (c) next to his name when everyone else makes the decisions

too funny :lol::lol:

I remember seeing that on Fox Sports News, half the crowd couldn't work out what was going on, the other half were just giving it to them.

They poked and prodded to be 8 runs short.

With 4 frontline pacemen in the team, how can you possibly justify bringing Duminy on straight after a long break... Wtf Smith?

The commentators thought the quicks were changing ends, then he gets another over and no one says a word :lol:

Amazing the free ride that fat smug prick gets from the SA media.


Rhino goes for a handy little 20.

Is Steyn not fully fit?

Looks like Smith prepared for this series by asking Alistair Cook for advice.

BTW, a few years back I decided I needed the 1999 World Cup DVD. Couldn;t find it ANYWHERE in Oz but eventually tracked one down from the UK. A great way to brighten any day.

And last ball Steyn belted a 6 as easy as you've ever seen. Gave me another good chuckle.

How many times can we chop on

Johnson you idiot, fancy letting that pie thrower get two wickets.

Not sure if they even released it on DVD, when did DVDs first come out?

I have the VHS of it, and I could it watch it all day. Amazing how we lost 2 in a row, and the odds were against us.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

400 odd would be pretty good.

 

[chigurh]

Probaly gifting Peterson a few wickets so we don't have to verse the might of Imran Tahir next match :sarcasm:

 

[Horrie Is God]

Sidds fancies himself against spin..

 

[8Ball]

Peterson's figures massively flatter him. Just two batsmen going for pure slogs..

 

[Horrie Is God]

Be nice if Tiger Lyon can produce another one of his innings topping knocks..

He's got form doing it in Seth Efrika..

Yeah I found one, good DVD.

The SA cameramen are pretty gifted. Even when those only 30 people at the ground, they can still get shots of all the glamours.

All the "best" attack in the world has

Have we heard yet if Steyn has been 100%?

 

[hineyrulz]

Siddle goes, a little disappointing after being 4 for 331. But 397 is a good score on this deck. Hopefully we get a bit of cloud cover and the ball starts doing plenty.

Is Steyn not 100%???? Really news to me........
