2nd Test: South Africa v Australia at Johannesburg Nov 17-21, 2011

Sooner the first test is forgoten about the better

Usi may come in for Marsh. Bring in Copeland for Siddle

This is Johnsons ground, he will be retained, and IMO this is his last chance to deliver. Needs to be cut from the side for an extended period. Ponting needs to deliver or be cut for good

Hopefull we can level it

Yep if Johnson doesn't perform in this one he is finished IMO. Only change will be Khawaja in for Marsh. Siddle bowled pretty well IMO. Our batsmen let us down.

 

[aussies1st]

No more if for me Johnson is done. Copeland might not fix it but so far our best two Test series performances have come when we have had a steady bowler (McDonald here and Copeland in SL).

Bitch Johnson doesn't deserve a spot in the Castle Hill under 12s yet alone the test side. For mine he's the softest, most disappointing player to play for Australia I've ever seen.

 

[Hallatia]

Can't wait for this test, it feels so far away, especially with the first test only being two days and a session.

We have to win this thing properly, to prove that we don't need three tests to prove who's the best.

 

[lockyno1]

If any of Haddin, Johnson, Siddle play the selectors have rocks in their head!

 

[Hallatia]

did Australia bring another keeper with them?

I reckon both Siddle and Johnson will probably play this one.

He's softer than the 1999 Magpies defence.

Johnson is a bitch who cries in the corner when his mother talks.

We need to start up a FOFF for him.

I can't believe we're getting smashed by these Yarpie scrubs

smh 'we'

 

[Big Pete]

Edit.

Upon reflection I realise the depth of Australian cricket is at an all time low and there's nobody suitable to call up.

It's a shame Marsh and Paine are both injured as they should have both been included in the line-up.

I suppose we will see Cummins come in for Johnson. Unsure what to make of that. Cummins started the tour really well but I felt the Saffas worked him out towards the end of the ODI series. For his sake, I hope he takes it with both hands.

 

[Hallatia]

smh 'we'

I'm a Protea. I make no apology for that.

 

[aussies1st]

Marsh out of this test with Warner called up. Would love Warner to play but he'll be carrying the drinks which is a waste as he could be playing another Shield match.

 

[Matt23]

Foxsports news reckon Warner will play

 

[TheParraboy]

Sunshine down the order, Warner opening?

Feel for Usi if he is not in the 11

 

[Hallatia]

he could always replace Ponting ...

 

[yappy]

He's softer than the 1999 Magpies defence.

No where near that solid

 

[BunniesMan]

Warner and Khawaja should both be playing. Khawaja for Ponting. Warner opening, Watson down the order to number 4.

Hughes
Warner
Khawaja
Watson

 

[yappy]

he could always replace Ponting ...

Fingers crossed.

Hopefully they get Wade on the plane too.

Hughes
Warner
Khawaja
Watson

correct weight

 

[aussies1st]

His only chance is if they drop Hughes. No way they would drop Ponting.
