South Africa v Australia | 1st Test | Brisbane | Nov 9-13, 2012 |

[SL_Fan]

Kallis has slowed down considerably. He was flying yesterday.

 

[SL_Fan]

Time for SA to get a move on.

 

[Tridibans_16]

Not sure about Lyons domestic form but he is clearly our best spinning option. There is nobody in domestic contending in any way really. He has bowled well this session actually.

He did get some turn in the first session. SA will miss Duminy I feel on this pitch on day 5. Looking at the saffers rr, I think this match may well end in a draw, save for a steyn/ Morkel assualt.

 

[Sledger]

Only 2 days left after this. Almost certainly a draw, especially if Kallis keeps going. Zzzzz..

 

[Ruri]

Only 2 days left after this. Almost certainly a draw, especially if Kallis keeps going. Zzzzz..

Certainly looking like a Draw, or SA win if Steyn fires.

 

[Random Aussie]

Patto finally gets Kallis for 147, reward for some good bowling today from him.

Now we are in the box seat!

 

[Random Aussie]

At this rate we should be able to get them out for about 700.

 

[Random Aussie]

Pattinson with another, stupid batting from South Africa

 

[kungfu90]

Another wicket for Patto.

 

[kungfu90]

that's the difference between Amla and ABDV.

 

[Random Aussie]

They absolutely just handed over their wickets Kallis and ABDV.

 

[Madplayer]

This match is going to be a draw.. SA tried to do the right thing by accelerating but unfortunately they lost wickets. If they would have reached 600 then they had a chance of winning otherwise it was always going to be a draw given a whole day was lost.

 

[Justcrazy]

390 / 5

 

[Justcrazy]

The match should be a draw , only silly batting by Aussies can make SA win

Bill: "I hope this is the last series South Africa play with AB as keeper. He's too good to watch his batting drop off."

All out, Hilfy gets the last two.

Now we bat...fingers crossed our top order can bat

 

[Justcrazy]

Good total , but draw likely unless SA pull out something special.

 

[SL_Fan]

VP looking very good

[SL_Fan]

Love watching Steyn bowl. Rare sight these days.

 

[SL_Fan]

I sense a wicket or two early.

 

[Justcrazy]

For a result something dramatic needs to happen

 

[SL_Fan]

Wowzers cut cowan in half there.

[LethalSami]

3 down

 

[SL_Fan]

Ponting goes as well 3 down.

 

[Random Aussie]

Ponting gone. This one is over, we gonna get flogged.

 

[LethalSami]

Punter punts a duck

 

[SL_Fan]

Damn rain killed this match. Could have ended being a cracker.

 

[SL_Fan]

Brilliant bowling. Quick and accurate.

 

[SL_Fan]

Clarke to make a 100.

 

[adnanulhaq97]

Aussies in trouble

 

[LethalSami]

I don't get it...why do such quality batsmen go fishing outside off ????

either commit fully OR DON'T commit at ALL!! or suffer being caught behind

i know some deliveries are too good to leave....but that one was WAY outside off and Ponting just had to fish at it

 

[Random Aussie]

Our bowlers must feel like throttling our batters right now, they worked like dogs to restrict the Saffers and grind out some wickets and the rest go out and hand over their wickets.

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia trail by 406 runs with 7 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[Random Aussie]

You know things are bad when....Ed Cowan looks like your best batsman.
