Match to begin in 2 hours - This should be a cracker of a match!

Really excited about this.
 
2 hours??? I thought it was 5 in the evening PST


Btw anyone know what channel its being broadcasted in Pak?
 
Very excited about this but the timing of it means I won't catch too many deliveries.

Don't really know who I'm supporting.... will go for SA but will of course want Ricky Ponting to do well. Love watching Ricky bat.
 
can't wait for it...

been like a month since i've seen any cricket....that's long wait

who's PPer's supporting????

Chokers fan here :amla
 
I want Australia to bowl first!

South Africa has become number one test team 3 times since 2000 and they have lost their number one position losing to Australia twice, let's see what happens this time.
 
I actually want SA to bowl first, just to see Philander, Steyn, and Morkel bowl
 
So much is written in media about aggression and planning Aus. should do ... I think it's fake hype by the media, but nevertheless it's always good to see Aus. pacers firing all cylinder against SA batters first up. It sets up the series nicely.

Just checking the weather it says its raining in Brisbane.. not sure whether or not to stay up and watch it now..
 
I want to see South Africa bowl! Steyn, Morkel and co swinging the ball at pace and batsman like Clarke facing the music, nothing could be better than this.
 
Pattinson the one to watch for us, he has been in ripping form in the Shield. Can he continue his superb start to a Test career?
 
18 minutes to go! Starc 12th man we have played a spinner. Saffers with four quicks.
 
I wanted aussies to bat first so I can watch Ponting!

But Smith, Amla, Kallis and AB vs Pattinson will also be good!
 
Matches between SA, Aus and Eng are always the most exciting for me (after Pakistan). Should be a cracker.
 
Haven't been keeping with this, so a nice surprise to know its starting now!
 
seems like a lovely day out there and smith off the mark with a brace
 
Finally some proper cricket. Hopefully this one will go right down to the wire. :)
 
Petersen needs to be watchful here otherwise he might be undone by some swing
 
Pitch is flat with bit of bounce.

Here we go Hilfy and his habit of finishing overs quickly!
 
Looks a dud, aussies really want to see the back of Smith
 
I don't know why Clarke went for the review! Keeper wasn't even interested with appeal.
 
james pattinson is bowling flat, really needs to improve to take wickets

Why didn't strac play
 
Need to bowl out side off and let SA chase ball.

Now that is the line and length to bowl.
 
Hilfy was preferred over starc so starc had to sit out as even Lyon was going to play .

I think Starc should have been there for mixing things a bit as hes a left hander . 3 right armers are way too many and a bit identical .

Left armers are good for variety. But Starc in no way deserves selection over proven Test bowlers who average under 30 over a decent period or a guy who averages less than 20 in his first five Tests.
 
Just great to see some test cricket again. Gonna watch a bit of it despite the approaching ungodly hour.
 
Looking forward to a good series. Purely neutral this series.

Rooting for Pattinson, Watson, De Villiers and Steyn to have personal success though.
 
Aus bowling radar seems to be off. Too straight, too wide, too short, just not enough testers. If you don't make early inroads at the Gabba going to be a very long day for the fielding side.
 
Finally a wicket for Aus, a big one too.
 
Let's see if Aus walks the talk. Want to see some real aggro.
 
Wicket number 27 for the best young Test bowler in the world....go Patto!

:junaid lol
But surely the best from Australia, I am tired of this Starc talk because of LO wickets.
In order to play Test cricket he has To perform in First Class cricket!
