I mean 3:0 ; 2:0 or 2:1*

Win or lose, SA win the series 3:0 or 2:0 or 1:0 . SA win and that is that and nogals in Australia. Australia will do well to win against SA minus Graeme Smith.

Anyone rate that if SA get close with few wickets in hand that Graeme might bat with a broken hand? Its been done before.

Guys, any of you rate if SA get within 20 runs or so of Aus score and lose their last wicket that Graeme Smith might make a bold move and bat with a broken hand? Pom , while I agree with you that ntini is getting long in the tooth I would like to remind you that SA has 3 fairly in experienced test bowlers in Steyn , Morkel and Harris. (Not too much Steyn). I think it is important to have players like Ntini with the experience around for now. I believe that 10 more test matches will be enough to have Steyn and Morkel more settled. The same can go for Kallis and Prince and Mckenzie and Boucher who also only have about 2 years left in them.Gradually players like Duminy and other new comers will need to be added to the list.

Not to blow smoke up the Australians @sses but it just proves why they are the no1 team in the world. Ponting , Hussey , and Hayden fail to make good scores and Aus still reach 370 odd runs. They are without their prime bowler in Stuart Clarke and still sen our batsmen packing. we saffers know we could have done better but cannot jusdge on the starts we made that we didnt capatalise on as the Aussies also had the same problem. Steyn has met his match and lost. Johnson is absolutely magnificent. Hope the Saffers will fight back and not roll over.

Well done to Mitchell Johnson and Australia. Definitely in Australia favour. Tuesday feel free to comment now.

And he is only 24 Beecher, younger than Duminy although everybody makes such a big fuss over Duminy, Perhaps Duminy will come in and prove me wrong. Havent seen him perform against top ODI sides. A good long innings will put him in good stead.

Hi Tuesday . Any comments on Smith and his batting. I suppose it cant compare to Pontings brilliant first innings score.

Agree with Dazzler, dont want to run my mouth and have egg on my face when SA get knocked over for 150 lol. Hopefully that wont happen. Hope Duminy takes his chance with both hands. Seein Harris do so well it would be nice to have seen Duminy bowl a few overs. Kallis is under par but that normally means good batting from him. Normally when he bowls well his batting s sucks and vice versa. Sa in with a chance if they can restrict Aus to under 350 new ball on the way. Nothing from Tuesday yet since Punter made a duck.

Funny how 4 of the 5 wickets fell bowling around the wicket. During Bangladesh matches we were bowling around the wicket alot as well. Perhaps Saffers knew something the Aussies didnt.

Go Saffers 5 more to go. If Saffers can restrict Aus to under 300 we are well in with a chance, South Africans thrive on these kind of wickets. Steyn to clean the tail up early hopefully. Well done to Katich and Clarke. This is test match cricket at its best, No1 vs No2 what a day so far.

Expect the Aussies to start giving their comments once Katich and Clarke have rescued them

Reclaim* I meant reclaim the ashes

Thanks for Supporting the Saffers Pom. I'll be sure to support the Pommies when they retain the Ashes next year. They looked a far better unit than the Ozzies did when they toured India even though they lost that match. I think things could have been different when the Saffer toured Pomland if you had Harmison, Swann and Prior in your test teams. Your well on your way to getting back into the top 3 of the test arena.

Guys lets see what happens , I love it when the sheep shaggers run their mouths. Looks like England gave the Indians more of a go in their first test than the Aussies did their whole tour down there. tsk tsk. England had their hance and I fail to see them come back after this. Ozukman feel free to eat your words.

What was it that Tuesday said the other day of our Saffer getting injured , as far as I know we are playing with a full strength team tommorow. Wonder what OZ will do once Hayden retires, just downhill from here for OZ even if they win this series.

Actually Tuesday, we are not taking your jobs. You have a skills shortage in some departments and who better to fill the void than disgruntled South Africans being forced to leave their country to support their families. My previous comment was just a bit of tongue and cheek. The reason Saffers all leave to go to Aus is because the climate is very similar and the people(white) are very similar too, hence we are so competitive. You can only grow stronger with us filling in the voids. I see Aus as become the next economic powerhouse. While SA is doomed for ever due to the brain drain.

Tuesday, we all immigrate to Aus coz we get your jobs so easily. Apparently your people are not as clever and technically minded as our Saffers. Apparently your a lot lazier too. I would believe that from an prison colony. Dont worry me and my friends will be there next year to save your economy. Wish we could do the same for SA but unfortunately nothing will save Africa. My skins not the right colour anyway. Even Zimbos and Congolese who are not Saffers get the jobs before us whiteys. No point complaining though thats life.

Big up on the South African Sevens team for winning the George sevens. 2 out of 2. Defintely the best we have ever started. Keep an eye on Ebersohn, sure to take Jacobs place when he s over the hill.

lol at brilliant article, pity Swam doesnt see the liter side of the article.

Lol looks like ed changes all profound language to idiot
