Australia Vs SA

Australia have handed Test debuts to Doug Bollinger and Andrew McDonald as they look to avoid a whitewash against South Africa and cling onto their world number one spot. I think SA are going to win...

Post by: yvk3103 on January 06, 2009, 10:52:03 AM: Difficult than last time as they do not have Grahem Smith and the pitch is a total wreck.

This pitch has some of the longest and biggest cracks I have seen in modern times....can you believe ccrqacks running end to end from about 3-4 inches on either side of the wickets!!!
