[Random Aussie]

Be quiet Saffer

 

[Justcrazy]

150 up

 

[SL_Fan]

Yeah, but you guys should also be extremely frustrated, loosing to NZL and that to at home..going by your comment, then you guys should be more frustrated?

Our fellas only get frustrated if they have to leave IPL early )

 

[Random Aussie]

Come here Sri Lankans, come here. We gonna belt you.

Be quiet Saffer

Its ok man, its oooo k lol

The misery will soon be over _old

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Our fellas only get frustrated if they have to leave IPL early )

sad but true, but lets hope that this isn't the case this time around

I feel that the SL'an will be downed by there bowling, they don't really have the bowling to disturb the Aussie line up

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia require another 479 runs with 6 wickets remaining

 

[Anfield]

Come here Sri Lankans, come here. We gonna belt you.

RA, what do you think of tour to India? Your team isn't that good right now but so is theirs. After England's good performance you should be hopeful._old

 

[Justcrazy]

:4 :4

record is under threat here.

 

[Justcrazy]

SA need to be patient here, wickets will come. Lots of time left.

 

[Justcrazy]

175 / 4

 

[SL_Fan]

Come here Sri Lankans, come here. We gonna belt you.

Lol you lot will prove nothing by flogging us. Even NZ carved us up at home

 

[Justcrazy]

181 / 4

 

[SL_Fan]

sad but true, but lets hope that this isn't the case this time around

We only have one practice game before the Test series. We are screwed all over.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Justcrazy]

50 runs partnership

 

[Justcrazy]

The pitch is still pretty flat, if one gets in difficult to out.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Clarke

What a beautiful delivery, well flighted

 

[mmkextreme_1]

record is under threat here.

prevails once again

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Madplayer]

Just wondering what will the world test XI look like if we forget stats and take current players purely on basis of form.. Hussey ,cook and Amla,steyn ,ajmal would make an invincible team

 

[Justcrazy]

must be delighted .............. :

 

[Justcrazy]

188 . 5

45 overs left today
































































































Plus 90 tomorrow

 

[GentleMan]

this should settle the imran tahir debate.. he shouldnt play any more tests for south africa.

 

[Kwremb]

It will be all over today itself I guess

 

[Kwremb]

Morkel kissing Steyn )

 

[Kwremb]

Steyn on 298 wickets

 

[leatherface58]

Morkel kissing Steyn )

I hope it's on the cheek or forehead and not on the mouth

 

[Saurav]

lol Morkel kissing Steyn

 

[Kwremb]

I hope it's on the cheek or forehead and not on the mouth

It was on the fore head but there was another guy who kissed him on his cheek a second before as well

 

[JibranAnsari]

Phenomenol by SA , sseries wins in england and australia in the same year. True number 1.

 

[Random Aussie]

RA, what do you think of tour to India? Your team isn't that good right now but so is theirs. After England's good performance you should be hopeful._old

We will lose. We might be competitive but we will lose.

 

[Kwremb]

7 down now, peterson bowling well in the rough

 

[Saurav]

Congrats Keith n Jo_Don

 

[James]

What an awesome comeback from South Africa in this match. Their players are amazing. Historically most teams will lose a Test match if they've conceded 7 wickets by the first afternoon.

 

[James]

I am not an expert like you all friends .... very mechanical in things I do.

KP instead of AB

 

[amlafan79]

Congrats Keith n Jo_Don

wbu me ?

 

[SL_Fan]

VP = Vernon the philanderer

 

[Saurav]

vp????

Philander

 

[young guns]

VP = Vernon the philanderer

ok,,,i tht,,,venkatesh prasad,,,,

 

[SL_Fan]

KP instead of AB

Not really a number 6 though?

 

[SL_Fan]

Hussey will however give AB a good run for his money. Tough call between those two.

 

[Saurav]

ok,,,i tht,,,venkatesh prasad,,,,

[Kwremb]

Not really a number 6 though?

Doesn't matter AB has been in very poor form in last 6-12 months

 

[Keith]

Hussey will however give AB a good run for his money. Tough call between those two.

Tough call! Personally for me I would go for AB, awesome fielder!

 

[SL_Fan]

ok,,,i tht,,,venkatesh prasad,,,,

Lol certainly not plus this is from current players

 

[Xoib]

What an awesome comeback from South Africa in this match. Their players are amazing. Historically most teams will lose a Test match if they've conceded 7 wickets by the first afternoon.

were you not bagging them last game calling them weak or something. You change your statements quite often

 

[Justcrazy]

3 more wickets , SA should wrap it up soon.

 

[Saurav]

wbu me ?

wrong loyalties:headshake:

 

[Justcrazy]

Maiden to start with

 

[Keith]

were you not bagging them last game calling them weak or something. You change your statements quite often

Noted that, but then again we all do don't we?

We all make mistakes though and I believe that James actually came out and said that he was wrong. Kudo's for that.

 

[James]

were you not bagging them last game calling them weak or something. You change your statements quite often

I think myself and all other purveyors of the choker banter have been well and truly capped!

Maybe they are still flimsy in ICC tournaments but nobody can say that South Africa in Test cricket are chokers anymore.

 

[amlafan79]

wrong loyalties:headshake:

supported them when they were down out...

 

[Justcrazy]

philander continues here.

 

[SL_Fan]

Tough call! Personally for me I would go for AB, awesome fielder!

Yeah plus AB can score big when he gets going. Hussey is yet to make a double and does not really cash in. I mean out of 14 100s for AB 7 of them are 160+ (all against top teams). For Hussey out of 18 100s only 3 or maybe 4 (one not out) 150+ scores (one of them against Bangla).

 

[Saurav]

MJ gone

 

[SL_Fan]

another one gone

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[SL_Fan]

2 to go

 

[James]

At the risk of doing a Justcrazy, this is going to be an enormously large win by margin of runs.

 

[Justcrazy]

SA deserve to win , they are truly best team in the world at the moment.

 

[SL_Fan]

I think myself and all other purveyors of the choker banter have been well and truly capped!

Maybe they are still flimsy in ICC tournaments but nobody can say that South Africa in Test cricket are chokers anymore.

They hardly choke outside ICC tournies. If any thing they thrive under pressure. Pretty weird actually. A bit like the All Blacks.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

Hastings can get a few cheap runs here.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

hasting using the long handle here.

 

[SL_Fan]

Doesn't matter AB has been in very poor form in last 6-12 months

AB averages close to 60 this year.

 

[Justcrazy]

:6 more

 

[SL_Fan]

Also KP only averages 46 this year. AB miles ahead even after struggling a bit after donning the wk gloves.

 

[Kwremb]

I don't rate AB as much as KP in Test cricket

 

[SL_Fan]

1 to go now

 

[Looney]

Aussies are so cute getting humiliated at home .

 

[Random Aussie]

Well, we arent going to lose by more than 400 runs. Congrats to the Saffer supporters, Jo Don and Keith and JAF. Should be very proud of your team tonight.

As for our team *gets shotgun*

 

[SL_Fan]

It's only a game RA. No need to shoot yourself now.

 

[SL_Fan]

You lot will be back to winning ways in a couple of weeks anyway.

 

[Random Aussie]

It's only a game RA. No need to shoot yourself now.

I wasnt planning on using it on myself )

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia require another 384 runs with 1 wicket remaining

 

[waqar goraya]

This is surely one of historical loss for Australia....
