South Africa v Australia | 2nd ODI | Centurion | 5/4/09

[tdigi]

National anthems were played and atmosphere is terrific. Let the fun begin...

Aus won the toss and elected to bat.

 

[Informer]

Two of the worst umpires at the crease, Ashok and Jerling

 

[Informer]

Haddin gone dragging a wide one on his offstump

 

[tdigi]

Haddin gone in first over of Steyn....love the cartwheel of the leg stump.

Aus 2/1

 

[tdigi]

Ponting off the mark with a six...chakka mara hai

Aus 9/1

Now I am going to lay on my bed and watch the match. You guys have fun posting here

My prediction - SA will win today...lets see.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Ponting is GONE!

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Clarke GONE!

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Australia are in BIG trouble here, 14/3 in 5.1 overs...

 

[iafzal]

Are they practicing for the T20 WC?

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

DJ Hussey is GONE!

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Australia 19/4 after 7.0 overs...

 

[Informer]

19 for 4.

On a flat track

 

[tdigi]

Ha ha haaa....I had to get off my bed and post my laugh.

Aus 19-5 Mike Hussey goooneee

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Now, MIKE Hussey is GONE too Australia 19/5 after 7.2 overs!

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Parnell and Steyn just folding Australia here very early...

 

[Syndrome]

my god this is rape

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

I can't remember the last time Aussies were in this bad situation so early... 19/5?

 

[Informer]

It's 19 for 5

Parnell really bowling well. This lad has a good future and he can bat as well

 

[tdigi]

Parnell seems like a great find for SA. So young and he can bat too. Bats at #5 position for the under 19 team...an all rounder in the making.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

1 or 2 more wickets at this point and it will be all over for Australia here...

 

[iafzal]

What is the lowest score in ODI for Aus?
They are really making a big effort to beat that what ever it is

 

[HuZi]

if they can get a wicket here the match'll be over

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

I don't understand why Smith took off Steyn and Parnell, even though they were bowling really well...

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

There we go, Hopes is GONE!

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Australia 40/6 after 13.1 overs!

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Morkel drops Johnson from his own ball.

 

[invincible]

Just a bit of assistance from the pitch and the Aussies crash like a pack of cards!

Having said that, it was some spell by Parnell. The ball to Hussey was just pure magical. A batsman of his class got completely squared up!

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

SA need one more wicket and then they will be into the tail...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Aussies getting cained here!

 

[Random Aussie]

Once again the new kids are showing how to do it, Ferguson and the great Mitchell Johnson rebuilding at 6/97.

But still ) )

 

[Informer]

Proteas should get Steyn and Parnell to finish it off

 

[Random Aussie]

Aus 7/110 off 33.2 overs.

 

[usman_ash14]

124-8 off 36.3

 

[HuZi]

end total will be like 140 or something

 

[DHONI183]

Due to the retirements they suffered from, Australia may yet remain the number one team but will have some tough times against the top sides. They simply haven´t been consistent enough to their standards.

 

[Savak]

One thing is for sure, this current Aussie team is not as mentally tough as before.

 

[tdigi]

My prediction was correct. Congratulations to SA in advance on a terrific win.

 

[Informer]

Gibbs the brainless fool throws his wicket away again

 

[Amjid Javed]

S.A 85/2 at moment and cruising home to level the series...

 

[Informer]

game over. Easy win for the Proteas.

Australia looked listless, tired and homesick

 

[JustAnotherFan]

game over. Easy win for the Proteas.

Australia looked listless, tired and homesick

They must have had a good party on Friday night to celebrate SA's worst loss ever against Aus.

Proteas have turned the tables. Sometimes it helps having bowlers like Steyn and Parnell to have Aus at 5/19.

 

[OZGOD]

LOL, even by our current revised standards, that was bad.

 

[Random Aussie]

This Haddin/Clarke/Ponting/Hussey thing is not working.
