South Africa vs Australia | 2nd Test | Johannesburg | 17-21 Nov 2011

[Strike!]

115 runs in 47 overs, Pretty doable.

 

[Justcrazy]

Tahir is useless in Test matches.

 

[Justcrazy]

202 /5 now

 

[Justcrazy]

Dropped.........

 

[Justcrazy]

Hadin has batted well.... looks good now.

 

[Justcrazy]

Steyn unlucky this innings

 

[hur rizvi]

Almost an edge from haddin there

 

[Justcrazy]

Hussey is a cool finisher.

 

[Poison]

Boucher :kami

 

[Justcrazy]

Saffers on the back foot.... a wicket though can change the situation here.

 

[Justcrazy]

"Haddin should try his luck in the casino today," says Purav.

 

[hur rizvi]

20-30 runs for this prtnrship will get Saffers in choke mode..


but they have Imran tahir to get them over the line

 

[hur rizvi]

Runs required into double figures


98 reqd


to hussey

 

[hur rizvi]

hussey

 

[hur rizvi]

S.A are favourites now

 

[hur rizvi]

Johnson should hit out...

 

[Genghis]

Philanders magic debut series continues. Oz still 95 runs behind.

 

[Poison]

Great Test match.

 

[hur rizvi]

to johnson

91 reqd

 

[hur rizvi]

tahir can get a wkt here


johnson not good against legspin

 

[Justcrazy]

Johnson can bat.... he is a pretty good bat.

 

[Justcrazy]

Philander has surprised me..... he has bowled well , far better than what I expected but he would be tested in conditions that do not suit his style of bowling.

 

[hur rizvi]

88 reqd

 

[hur rizvi]

great googly from tahir....


johnson beaten


TEA time

 

[Justcrazy]

Tahir is useless in Test matches, just over hyped.... he is a domestic cricket bully , not good for International Test Cricket.

 

[hur rizvi]

Philander has surprised me..... he has bowled well , far better than what I expected but he would be tested in conditions that do not suit his style of bowling.

he reminds me of

 

[Justcrazy]

This match is interesting now..... Steyn needs to come back and strike.....

 

[Justcrazy]

Haddin has looked awful but he has survived and that is what really matters.

 

[Justcrazy]

88 runs is possible, but I doubt Australia would push for it.... if they lose early wicket..... Aussie Tailenders can bat though.

 

[Justcrazy]

Very very interesting series this one.... its a pity that there is no 3rd Test match

 

[AZ]

poll added.

go on Mitch, win it for Austraya!

 

[zulfiqar]

This is the final partnership... haddin is a walking wicket so it will be upto Johnson to finish this off! What an insane series!

 

[zulfiqar]

88 runs is possible, but I doubt Australia would push for it.... if they lose early wicket..... Aussie Tailenders can bat though.

You kidding? Why wouldn't they push for it? It should be 1-1 or 2-0 from here!

 

[Poison]

Where's the 'draw' option? Bad light could intervene I feel.

 

[Shayan]

If I was an Aussie fan, I wouldn't want to see any batsman try and play for the draw. It should be either 2-0 or 1-1 from this position.

 

[zulfiqar]

Poison I feel that atm it's just a matter of getting Mitch out. If Mitch goes, so will Australia. if he stays till the end (even a shortened end) i think they'll end up getting the runs

 

[zulfiqar]

FOUR from Haddin!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Aus 226/6

84 needed for Aus

4 wickets for S.A

Really hope we get as all the play we need in this final session!

would hate for weather to ruin the end off this test!

 

[hur rizvi]

+ to haddin


80 reqd

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pretty much heres a chance for Haddin to redeem his recent woeful form and keep his place in the Aussie team!

 

[hur rizvi]

Aus 226/6

84 needed for Aus

4 wickets for S.A

Really hope we get as all the play we need in this final session!

would hate for weather to ruin the end off this test!

Sun is shining brightly even if we can get 25 overs out of 36 scheduled i guess we will see a result

 

[hur rizvi]

Steyn in to the attack...

 

[hur rizvi]

choke start??

 

[hur rizvi]

more


73 left

 

[hur rizvi]

68 reqd

 

[hur rizvi]

20 runs in 2 overs since tea

 

[Amjid Javed]

Haddin looks like hes going for this!

Target down to 68...

Such a shame this is only a 2 test series, when ever these two teams play its usually competative!

 

[hur rizvi]

Tahir in to the attack

 

[Amjid Javed]

S.A just need to keep hunting wickets here, litterally this game will be won one way or another1!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Will MJ and haddin try and get after Tahir?

 

[Shayan]

What a game!

 

[Strike!]

Aussies are really going for the win now.

 

[Genghis]

Aussies probably inching ahead now.

 

[Shayan]

Ron: "C'mon Nitin...start a petition for a 3rd Test." ICC are you listening??!


SO TRUE.

 

[Shayan]

Every series should be a minimum of 3 tests. The boards should then be forced to adjust the number of ODIs/T20s accordingly.

 

[khalil1986]

they need atleast 25 runs before the new ball

 

[Shayan]

Aussies probably inching ahead now.

61 to win with 4 wickets, I wouldn't say they're ahead yet. One more wicket and it's South Africa's game.

 

[Amjid Javed]

new ball due soon, so i guess Aussies looking for as many runs as poss before that!

 

[Amjid Javed]

S.A will feel if they get one off these two guys out they will win the game!

Aus 254/6 now.

 

[Amjid Javed]

56 needed or 4 wickets now....

 

[adnan yasin]

46 runs needed now 4 wickets

Can S.A do what pakistan did yesterday ?

 

[zulfiqar]

Like I said, Johnson still holds the key! Even if he gets out right now I bet australia will fold like cards... atm he's raping them

 

[adnan yasin]

 

[zulfiqar]

Morkel smashed for :

 

[Shayan]

South Africa being strangled, they're struggling to breathe......

 

[adnan yasin]

Referral

for lbw taken

 

[Genghis]

Aussies have wrapped this up. SA wasting reviews now ... A bit desperate.

 

[hur rizvi]

Review wasted

 

[zulfiqar]

Mitch has too much talent to be dropped!

 

[adnan yasin]

as expected it was a despo referral

not out

 

[zulfiqar]

Review is wasted but they have another review remaining so maybe he was just buying time

 

[adnan yasin]

Who is commentators ...Talking ********

*when referrals are taken every fielder should be in their position so that time not wasted*

lolzz

 

[hur rizvi]

39 reqd

 

[hur rizvi]

no ball

 

[adnan yasin]

38 more needed

4 wickets in hand

 

[kashmiri_lad]

Its in the bag now..SA will always lack the sucker punch...
What a fightback by Aussies..
3 players fighting for their places and all of them have delievered...(Ponting, Mitch and Haddin)
What a turnaround..

 

[zulfiqar]

New ball will be taken soon and most likely be given to Steyn & Philander... if anyone one of them strike it could be all over, especially if they get Johnson

 

[hur rizvi]

2nd warning to tahir for running on the pitch..

 

[Shayan]

Who is commentators ...Talking ********

*when referrals are taken every fielder should be in their position so that time not wasted*

lolzz

I completely agree with the commentator.

 

[hur rizvi]

New ball due
