70 run partnership now and Smith belting Johnson around by the sounds of it, on 59 now. His is the prize wicket.

Time to bring Warney on

Rain delay! Players off the field.

One must wonder now what the future holds for one B Lee, he may well turn it around after this post ( which I doubt) and prove me wrong but he just doesnt seem anywhere, and I mean anywhere the bowler he was 9 months ago

Every year before the Perth test the media generally pumps him up saying he'll break the 160km an hour barrier and all this rubbish, i think it must have some sort of affect on him, he just tries to bowl too fast when he should just be concentrating on taking wickets.

by **FD88** » Sat Dec 20, 2008 6:48 pm

His opening spell was very good and deserved a wicket (or two) so you could say he's bowled without luck, but to be wicketless at this stage as our lead bowler is never a good thing. He has at least looked more dangerous than Siddle though.

The break may have done us some good. We need to keep their confidence and belief down.

The times the Adelaide and Perth Test matches started were all to cater for Melbourne and Sydney viewers. Of course the easiest thing to do is to have the news during the tea break (whatever time that is for you) but this sort of thing has been going on for years, probably since Channel 9 first took over.

How long has it been raining for and what else has been going on, only just got home so i don't have a clue!!

by **FD88** » Sat Dec 20, 2008 7:14 pm

Hate to put a downer on everything but we could be in -serious- trouble if we don't strike soon. 1/98 with the captain playing a super knock is a massive concern.

Johnson starting after the rain but you'd doubt he could produce anything like the other night.

RSA 1/100 resuming after the rain delay.

by **hearts on fire** » Sat Dec 20, 2008 7:17 pm

Im pretty confident we will win, once we get one of these guys out, we will see the wickets crumble. Kallis is in average form, we get him and they will fall like dominoes.

by **FD88** » Sat Dec 20, 2008 7:20 pm

Some confidence shown in Siddle here to put him on at such a crucial stage. Well hopefully when I come back we'll have taken a couple of wickets.

by **hearts on fire** » Sat Dec 20, 2008 8:13 pm

Graeme Smith makes his first hundred against Australia. Well done Graeme.

If Australia are going to lose to anyone, it should be South Africa, they are a joy to watch and play cricket the way it should be played.

RSA 1/158

Smith 101*
Amla 42*

RSA need 255 runs to win.

by **FD88** » Sat Dec 20, 2008 8:25 pm

Just as I thought unfortunately. Outside of a sudden burst of wickets we are so far on the back foot I can't imagine anything but a Saffer win.

EDIT: GOT ONE FINALLY!!!! Johnson strikes -AGAIN-, an unbelievable performance from this young man. Smith gone LBW but it's still an uphill battle.

2/172

by **RoosterMarty** » Sat Dec 20, 2008 8:26 pm

It is not looking good at all. We need a breakthrough tonight.

by **hearts on fire** » Sat Dec 20, 2008 8:29 pm

JOHNSON HAS THE BREAK THROUGH!

Smith gone LBW for 108

RSA 2/172

And there it is!!! MJ gets Smith leg before! Great knock and very important wicket.

by **hearts on fire** » Sat Dec 20, 2008 8:31 pm

Just the break through we needed, Kallis has been in pretty average form, made 40 odd(?) i think last innings, so if we get him, we are back on top.

Mitch Johnson has been our hero this Test, has picked up 10 wickets now, our other bowlers need to bowl like him.

FIRE UP BOYS!

by **FD88** » Sat Dec 20, 2008 8:31 pm

Kallis will make a ton here easy.
