Australia in South Africa Oct-Nov 2011/12

[Sedition]

Maybe Haddin could've gone for it, but it was a pretty simple take for Watson.

Good start from boys, could have been different if aus caught properly but that's the way it goes. Hopefully smith and hash can go on for a bit more.

Maybe it time clarke tries the spinner??

 

[Sedition]

Almost ready to turn it off in disgust. I hope I never see a more embarrassing game in my life.

Aussies are done for here. They could not afford to miss any chances and they dropped Amla twice. This will be an excruciating defeat for the guests.

 

[aussie1st]

For the love of God can we please get rid of Johnson once and for all.

Yea should have been taken. Another reason Copeland would have been good.

 

[Paki007]

Match over.It was in their bag but second innings was just awful

 

[barmyarmy]

Should be but if Aus can lose 9/21 then SA can lose 9/92.

This actually needs to be the end of Johnson, simply cannot afford him anymore. It will be a joke if he gets picked for the next test.

----------

Even when Copeland doesn't take wickets he'll create pressure by going at 1-2 an over, while Johnson in the same situation goes at 5-6

 

[Sedition]

I wish I could stop watching, but I need to make sure we hang our heads in shame when we walk off.

One positive to take from this is that we can only get better from here, even if we pick 11 debutants for the next match. If all we needed was a crushing defeat to drop the axe on Hughes, Ponting, Haddin and Johnson, I wish it happened a long time ago.

 

[ferg512]

At least you have us as a warm up for the indian series, surely you guys won't lose to us

 

[aussie1st]

Just wish we could get some bowlers that can consistently do something with the ball. England and SA have it in the bag and even their depth bowlers can do it. But we have no one even our swing bowler Hilfy struggles to do it. The only one that can do it for us is Watson.

Jeez I've never seen Harris bowl so much rubbish before. We already got Johnson and Siddle doing the leakages don't need him joining the party.

I already have.

 

[Varun]

This is what I get for parting with cricket? I gotta follow test cricket from now on.

 

[Papa_Smurf]

Surely not. Any bets that the chokers loose their last 8 wickets for less than 15 runs?

Australia need to get rid of Johnson and Siddle. Give Copeland and Cummins a run. They surely can't do any worse. And I've been saying this for a while, but it's time for Ponting to retire. He's going to have his reputation in tatters if he doesn't soon enough.

 

[alexczarn]

Ponting, Haddin and Johnson axed. Put Watson in @ 8, Khawaja in for Ponting, Paine in for Haddin and bring Katich back as opener!!
