2ND TEST MATCH AUST V STH. AFRICA AT THE MCG

[Thiele]

Do we bring Symonds on

Good call.

Thanks

[FD88]

Dare I say it, we probably won't bowl them out. They'll declare before we can do it.

RSA 8/396

[Thiele]

South Africa hits the lead

[FD88]

Bah. No chance.

AT TEA

RSA 8/399

Who would have thought that, prior to the start of play, well played RSA

[Dog_ger]

I know we are in trouble when ponting has that look....

Maybe it's time for a captain change?

keep him in the team..

Who could be out next captain? It's time for a change.

[Gozu]

I'm done watching this crap. About 20 minutes ago flicked it over to the NZ/WI T20 match. Will at least be more exciting then watching us struggle against their tail all day.

Big call Dog-ger but alas the side all appear to be disinterested out on the field today, they have just gone through the motions all day and have looked shabby. I am concerned what is going to occur when they come out to bat. The side has had it's confidence zapped out of them in 2 sessions. I feel it would however be very hard to sack Ponting as Captain and leave him in the side however like it or not he is still our best batsman by far.

As for our next captain, has to be CLARKE

[spell_check]

Well, what is happening now is what happens (or did) with frequency with the Australian tail-enders - Gillespie, Lee, Warne and recently Johnson combine with themselves or one of the top order. I'm sure the interest would have been high amongst fans then.

150 partnership up

RSA 8/401

[spell_check]

The highest 9th wicket partnership against Australia is 151 by English pair Walter Scott and William Scotton in 1884.

This record now belongs to this pair.

[spell_check]

The next record they have broken is the highest 9th wicket Test stand on an Australian venue, this was 154 by Sid Gregory and Jack Blackham at Sydney in 1894/95.

I just broke a record for the most beers consumed during a 9th wicket partnership

Gold.

[FD88]

I just broke the record for the most anger generated watching a spineless performance from the Australian cricket team. If they turn it around I will apologise profusely no doubt; I could not be happier to do so.

[Adelaide Hawk]

WTF, 124 overs and the all-rounder comes on to bowl

What all-rounder? We don't have one.

[Thiele]

We can't bowl South Africa out what a joke

[NFC]

The most depressing day of Australian cricket I can remember.

[FD88]

Don't pile praise on this partnership please. PLEASE. Anyone would be making runs against this pathetic, shameful bowling. This has just been nothing short of a no-intensity piece of crap day of cricket from our side.
