South Africa vs Australia
« on: February 12, 2014, 08:13:13 AM »
With the first test just about to start I thought I would throw this up and see what people thought the final outcome would be.?

Naturally I'm going for the World Number One team to win the series 3-0

First test is being played 2 blocks away from where I grew up and is where I spent a lot of my time as a kid chasing pro's for signatures and bits of kit.

One thing I cant get over is that it would only cost about £6 for a good seat in the grandstand  :o

Could have done with a months holiday back home about now

2-1 to South Africa

The early Warner wicket is going to slow Australia's scoring this morning.

The debutant is in... Good luck Doolan!

Your an international captain, you'll probably play for England!  :D

Clarke is leading from the front or is a genius!

you can listen to this on http://www.southafrica.listenradios.com/radio-2000-live-streaming/

sounds like a quality morning's cricket

Why has Clarke gone back to hiding at 5?

Been a little disappointed with the Proteas bowling thus far...

Bowling too short.

McLaren has improved vastly in recent years and deserved to earn his second Test cap. He's bowling around 8-10kph quicker and swings the ball away as well.

Clarke at 5? Hiding from Steyn and Morkel first spells...

Yes I'm sat watching.


83for3 at dinner, who's session? I'd say Sa edging it, but South Africa have let them off the hook!

If Hashim had have held the chance of Marsh, if was very tough one, I think we could've had Australia 5 down at lunch.

Yes, Sky Sports 2.


Clarke averages 28 at 4 and even less at 3. Batting at 5 is where he scores his runs, he's been basically batting at 3 for most of the last two years due to Australia not having a settled top order. You could've put money on Rodgers going at short leg early on and Warner bats with little care so he'll always be in early.

Winning the toss and putting Australia in, I'd say SA will be disappointed with the session.
