Australia in South Africa Oct-Nov 2011/12

[AngryPixel]

They still need 2 more runs

 

[Themer]

Have they averted the follow on yet?

Nope two away. I hope Australia can manage it here, would be humiliation.

 

[angryangy]

Smith's form doesn't look too bad on this scorecard.

 

[Paki007]

ah saved but it's shame that only 2 batsmen reached double figures

 

[Themer]

BOO!

I wanted a follow on.

 

[AngryPixel]

I'm not watching it live. So can anyone tell me what the hell happened? Really good bowling? Crappy Shot selection? Demons in the pitch?

 

[aussie1st]

Oh dam Steyn will be mighty angry when he gets that new ball.

 

[AngryPixel]

Yup. Now Aussie just need to finish the tail here and see off Steyn's burst. Play out 5 consecutive maiden's if you have to. But just survive the Steyn.
What makes him even more dangerous is that not only he can swing the ball ridiculously, he can crank up the pace at will too.

Guess what, this is the fourth highest partnership in this innings

Is it possible to prepare a pitch with half off it very grassy and other half as crumbling.
Would be fun to see the batsman negotiate seam and swing from one end and Spin from other

 

[swacker]

Well that's not a score I want to wake up to.

 

[Sedition]

Oh man. That is the greatest session I've seen in my life. Absolutely brilliant.

 

[Themer]

GOONE!

What a session, shame I only caught the back end of it.

 

[aussie1st]

Thank God for that, have too many bad nightmares from the tail getting away from us.

 

[aus_maestro]

C'mon now Hughesy, don't fail here.

You should be appointed as the groundsman for all stadiums. Certainly you will take test cricket to another level.

 

[swacker]

I wonder how the Australian batsmen will approach this pitch against Steyn and co
