I'm just looking forward to next summer and we're thrashing those convict cunts  Cheesy

Have gone for Amla top run scorer in the Aus v SA series and Cook top run scorer in the Ind v Eng series!



Looks like Amla is getting you off to a good start

JP Duminy has fucked his ankle and needs surgery after injuring himself during the after play warm down.

Will have surgery later and be out for 3-6 months.  

So Saffers down to 10 for the rest of the test match and as the left out Tahir he was the spin option!

I'd still back the Saffers 10 mind, Amla must be worth a few.

Wouldn't surprise me if ABdV could bowl some spin, he can do everything else. Rudolph bowls passable leggies I think.

Meanwhile, England's reserve bowling attack are doing a decent enough job against Haryana, who by all accounts aren't that great. Bresnan looks nailed on for the first test now I'd have guessed.

Is Chris Tremlett fit at the moment by any chance? Seemed a more direct replacement for Finn than Meaker (who I rate, but might be too early)

Hopefully it continues, love seeing the Aussies get pummled on a flat deck! South Africa must be on for a very good 500+ unless the aussies fight back! Shades of The Oval for Amla?

Aussies 40/3 in reply to 450 against the Saffers' 10. Shouldn't laugh really.

111/3 at the close I think that the lost day and the fact that SA are lacking a spin option may tell against them being able to force the win, but it's always nice to see the Aussies lose

They had Cowan caught behind late on too but Morkel overstepped.

Strange to think Ed Cowan was due to turn out for Bath this year...

Money on the draw at this stage, although with 2 days to go and if the Aussies lose a couple early this morning we may see them all out for around 200!

Hmm. Aussies now in front.  If they can get a shifty on and get infront by lunch tomorrow it could make things a tad awkward with the saffers a batter light. Unlikely though because saying the pitch is as flat a pancake is a big of an understatement!

Yeah, that's a little disappointing. Kleinveldt having a bit of a mare, Cowan is a proper opener (reminds me a little of Strauss, good on the pull) and Clarke is, as DMR notes, disappointingly good.

Didn't see the Aussies getting anywhere near SAs score, let alone a lead! Michael Clarke is a great player!

With the first test barring an extraordinary SA collapse heading for a draw.  The second test in Adelaide which is traditionally as flat as can be also having a reasonable chance of heading for a draw.  This series could come down to a 3rd test shoot out in Perth.

 Klienveldt was bollocks.  He bowled 16 no balls!  It is a shame for SA they cant get Marchant De Lange fit for a reasonable period of time.
