First Test Match at the WACA: Australia v South Africa

[stan]

Good spell from Johnson. Well you say you cab best judge someone when you play against the best and your in the poo. Well he stood up today. Some excellent bowling from him. Smart to. Although McKenzie was a gift the ball he got Morkel with was well thought out. I was inpressed with his effort today.

[NFC]

What. The. Heck.

Started work and they were 4 down. I only just find out the score and I see Johno has taken SEVEN wickets.

WTF happened i go to Alicia Keys concert when AB and Kallis were looking a million dollars and come home to see they have collapsed to what others have described as a magic johnson spell. Can't wait to see the highlights tomorrow.

first of all let me ask the question why were you at an Alicia Keys concert when the cricket was on?

Also has anybody worked out WTF McKenzie was trying to do. That still boggels the mind just watching it.

Also the way this SAF top order was talked about Bradman would struggle to get a spot in it. After watching Amla, yes he is good. Excellent batsmen and well all know Kallis and DeVillers are also outstanding with the bat. But Duminey is a handbag and McKenzie seems to have mental issues once hes at the crease. So maybe there are a couple of holes at the crease there - just maybe. I guess we will find out as the series goes.

And finally another question - Kallis bowling at first change when you have someone on the ropes ??? WTF WTF

Ashwell Prince is a fairly handy inclusion though for the Yarpies. You've got to remember that South Africa have been doing their usual flat track bullies routine but remember they were 3/230 odd yesterday. Johnson's freakish spell has changed the game but the series hasn't been won yet.

Is it just me or does it look like Siddle just doesn't ever look like he's going to take a wicket?

Was saying the same thing last night, just doesn't seem to trouble the batsmen at all.

is krezja gunna be called THE NEW BRADMAN now that he has 4 centries in 3 inns

harsh but true, krejza is in good touch!

Lets hope the Aussies knock over the last 2 wickets very quickly this morning. Boucher is a dangerous batsman and can score quickly if given half a chance. Niot sure if Steyn is much with the bat, looking at a couple before him I doubt it. A big lead followed by another score of over 300 should see the Aussies home by lunch on the last day

Doing the right thing my the missus . I did only miss the last 45 minutes of play and i certainly didn't expect to miss what i did. I saw his wickets this morning and the Kallis and AB's dismissals were good balls and the others appeared to be well thought out so good on MJ for coming of age.

I think this has been the most entertaining two days test cricket I possibly have ever seen.

Plenty of runs, plenty of wickets.
This is the way test cricket should be, and both sides should be commended for the standard to date.
Your comment above makes sense, Australia is on top.
That being said, South Africa do have a potent bowling attack and they're still in it if they can string it together.
I hope it goes down to the wire. Either way it will be a Test to be remembered.

and Brett Lee is in the same boat

[mighty_tiger_79]

Ntini is the only south african fast bowler who bowls a consistent line-length to get the batsmen thinking - the others are just too wayward no consistency

australia will win the series and win it quite comfortably
