South Africa in Australia

[Sovik]

this was a great match.

[sandpiper]

Aussies are sorely missing McGrath, Warne, Langer and Gilchrist

[Sovik]

they couldn't defend 418 in perth. loving their downfall

hope there is for bangladesh!

what was so great about Mushy's innings was that not only he batted from #8 but also, he single handedly took the score to 250 in this green bouncy wicket against currently one of the best bowling lineups in the world. i was hoping for an encore in the second innings...but oh well

Smith was at his peak, de Velliers was brilliant - but for me the man of the day was JP Duminy. Any batsman would be proud of the way that he batted after failing in the first inning on his debut. I'm sure the Australians gave him the verbal stick when he walked out to bat in the second inning with the test match on the balance.

[Zeeshan]

having lived in south africa for some time i have lost my appetite for supporting this team. i was hoping for an aussie win...

[Russell2k7]

ABD is my favorite player outside the Bangladesh squad. How long since he has been playing? just look at him and Ashraful... what a difference

[ialbd]

good job SA..... keep it up... my second fav team after BD (still????)....

[nsd3]

SA's positive batting right from the start of the 2nd innings facing a target of 400+ runs was outstanding.

[Sovik]

can't wait for the second test

[sandpiper]

Its goin to be another heck of an humdinger

[Rommel]

Does anyone have highlights of the 1st Test? I would love to see it.

don't forget martyn.

[karimjay.]

the win wasn't how i envisioned it.

i expected paul to get caned, ntini to perform moderately and steyn bowl beautifully.

i expected mckenzie to hold one end while smith flops. i expected kallis to fail miserably. i expected boucher to save sa from disgrace.

i need to work on my punting.

[Sovik]

australia to bat after winning the toss. this should be interesting match

[Sovik]

hayden's poor form continues.

[sandpiper]

Ktich unrooted by Steyn after 54

[Murad]

Hussy gone for a duck. His second in this series.

[Sovik]

if only mckenzie could hold on to that chance

[sandpiper]

Ponting is leading from the front
Completed his 37th ton.

[Sovik]

ponting gone

[sandpiper]

Is it the opening of sluice gate ?

[thebest]

Aus going down 277/6. Ponting 100 and the rest crap. Clarke is competing with Dravid/ Kallis for most boring batsman

[sandpiper]

Another great battle in the offing

[sandpiper]

Its now Clarke vs Steyn
