Philander and Boucher can be relied on to fail tbh
 
This is the same attack that let us rack up several scores above 500.... Really SA?
 
SA are the best team in the world with the best players for all conditions and their bowling attack is the best and their batting lineup is the best and they are so talented and oops I have no evidence to back this up but I'm saying it anyway because they won one test in India and I don't like England and.
 
I knew SA are Crap , they play on bowler friendly pitch their bowler average look good but they did nothing to improve their batting, they thought they will blow the aussies away on this type of wicket, they forgot that aus also have fast bowlers in their ranks.
 
LOL, I guess we're not the only one who'll gift Watson a five wicket haul
 
i am just shock i went for lunch and it was 49/1 and came back it's 83/9
 
284 and follow on could happen, wow Clarke's innings starting to look spectacular now!!!
 
Watto have made history by taking a fifer in just 4 overs. Might just be the first player to do it a test match. Incredible achievement.
 
Well maybe the BCCI is watching, collapse would not have happened if not for the decision review system.

Amala and Kallis both reviewed and given out, DRS is MoM for Australia!

Clarke (Pup) did it in 25 balls against India.

Watson did it in 27 balls.

Caddick did it in 15 balls against WI.

Kallis got found out when there is chin music he is hiding,LOL.

LOL as if they were one false Imran Tahir stroke away from actually following on.

Bunch of pansies.
 
Harris and Watson will be a handful in English conditions in 2013 if they last as regular bowlers for that long
 
Cnngrats RA, under the circumstances pup's inning must be one of the best this year easily did not get to watch any of it but damn he must have played well.

One quality innings from south Africans greatest run machine Kallis or how to pull and as i'm writing Thair is gone.

96 all out SA.
 
S. A 96 All out.

Just goes to show how good clarkes inns was for the Aussies!

Seems the Aussies love playing in these conditions!

lol more are coming in:

"Jermaine Lawson topped this. He cleaned up Bangladeshis tail in Dhaka 2002. 5 in 13 balls, or even better 6 in 15."
 
Well, Morkel's run out reminds me of SL in Cardiff. Absolutely suicidal:murali

Just as I type, SA all out:facepalm:

The best team on paper, sadly remains so only on paper. Even Gary could not help them find a way out of the Choking habit that they have:20:
 
Just like in Galle a few months ago, Aussies showing how to cause damage on a sporting uneven wicket by attacking the stumps and just bowling straight!

S.A will be lucky to stay in the match now!

u mean that chucker! banished from test arena.
 
One that DRS has high lighted is how poor an umpire Ian gould is and lets not talk about Billy Doctorove.
 
Now it looks so stupid to be having a two match test series!

On bad session and the SA has no chance of winning the series.

ICC should pass a rule of 3 tests minimum
 
1st wicket 12.03 pm local time

10th wicket 2.23 pm local time

:)))

Both the Kallis and AB De Villiers looked notout to the nake eye.

AB no umpire in the world could have given that out, ok maybe Aleem Dar

I know Doctrove is horrible, but those two were just difficult decisions
 
I loved that piece of fielding from a fat bowler Siddle , that was awesome one chance bull eye nailed him .

Are u Watching Pakistan team.

I agree test series between the vaunted sides should be 3-5 games but there can be no excuses after that South African display. Loleth.
 
Thing is Steyn could shoot Australia out for 80 and they'd probably still win.

Fun match though.
 
Watson gone 3rd ball. lbw Steyn.

Game is moving at some pace. :zahid
 
Wickets are falling like a pack of cards :akhtar !!!

But at least it's more interesting than 87 in 57 overs... :misbah
 
This innings has once again highlited the reason why SA could not achieve what OZ has achieved in the past. The knack of failing on crunch moments has costed SA a lot already. They do maintain a high ranking because of consistent performances, but they also fail miserably when it matters the most.

However, we can only hope that SA shall somehow find a way out of this hole that they've fallen into.

P.S:- I wish Ryan harris was 3-4 years younger that he is. It's a pity his knees are gone.
 
My point is proven look at that pathetic decision by gould ball that is going down leg side, given out wtason should have reviewed it.
