It'd be nice if the WACA pitch was actually like the ones way back.

The one against India would have been, had Graeme Wood not ordered the grass be shaved more so that the match would last longer.

Australia vs South Africa on a bouncy WACA pitch.... Thats a mouth watering prospect.

I think SA would not mind that one bit if it happens.
I feel that the best chance to beat Australia is to prepare helpful wickets for the seamers. It may backfire sometimes but it still remains the best chance for sides.
The Aussie batting is just a bit vulnerable against good seam/pace/swing bowling as Ishant Sharma and Co. showed at Perth last year.

I didn't mean it by trying to say we would smash em if that was the case but more that it would be a great contest with bowlers like Ntini and Steyn causing troubles for our batsmen.

Especially with the way both Lee and Steyn are going now (let's hope they keep it up until the series), and the ridiculous amount of times the West Indian batsmen were hit on the helmet.

SA batsmen will obviously have better technique, but it should be very good to watch them against Lee.

And to watch us against Steyn.

 

[venom2011]

Ntini was great against Aus the last time around, didn't have any support from Pollock and co. Hopefully Steyn and Morkel can do a little better this time....

And I never thought I'd see the day when SA had a better spinner than Aus. It brings a tear to my eye

Aus power batting vs SA bowling will be great to watch.

 

[Arunava]

wow. .most anticipated tour for me .

Go South Africa, I think this is the best Cricket anyone can see this year, atleast me anyways.

Not easy for either team, it's like France V Italy that. Great fun.
