Australia in South Africa

[aussie1st]

They should get 300, with Hussey and Symonds down the order both of whom love this situation, 300 is a minimum. We need one of Gilly or Katich to go onto make a 100. Hopefully its Gilly cause that will really push our run rate up.

EDIT: sorry cricinfo skrewed up. Ignore

Losing Pollock is a huge loss really.

 

[aussie1st]

Sad but true, once again SA can say they were under strength. I would like to beat a full strength South Africa then there is no doubts as to who is the better side.

 

[irottev]

Australia, without doubt.

Those latest two matches SA were at almost full strength, Pollock being out is a big blow. But only as much as Symonds and Ponting were big blows earlier.

Pollock has been in good form with the bat lately. SA will miss that very much also.

There are doubts?

 

[aussie1st]

There are doubts?

Not to the SA, they will say "oh we were missing Nel, Pollock"

Katich hits a 6 This series seems to have brought a few of these from him

When Smith is in bat Ponting should bowl, get him out then see what smith says after that..

 

[irottev]

Katich is on 30 runs and hes got himself stuck on strike again lol. Just kinda frustrating when he has Gilchrist at the other end.

Cricinfos going slower for me. Sounded like another poor delivery. Good way to start the over Katich. Now get a single.

When Smith is in bat Ponting should bowl, get him out then see what smith says after that..

Or he might get whacked for six 6s and give Smith more ammo.

ye gods kat hit a six!!!!!!!!

go the katmeister

 

[siddharth2002]

I've put all my money on Aussie win so they better do it.

 

[Sman-21]

watching on foxtel

looks like it should be a good ground for chasing,high altitude meaning if you take risks and go for 6's they stay hit.

 

[aussie1st]

Dam Gilly out to a brillant catch. Time for Ponting to produce one of those captain knocks.

 

[irottev]

Gilly did his job. Now Katich needs to bat through.

Its pretty scary though really. Now theres still Ponting, Symonds, Martyn, Clarke, Hussey all to come. I mean you'd be happy to get Gilchrist, but not for long as you'd realise theres a lot more key wickets needed to be taken yet.

This Tele fella isn't a bad find for South Africa.

lol Teletubby ill call him.

 

[genghis_khan]

a captains knock like the 2003 WC final i hope ...hey, its the same ground

teletubby's bowling well
