They made a mistake It's Bracken returning not white

Not me, I always want Australia to win. Winning never gets boring.

I agree strongly.

Australia will win today. No Ntini and Steyn and for Australia they're using the strongest line-up yet.

Even if Australia win it wont make any difference. Of course they'll win, South Africa are putting a lot of inexperienced players, and giving them a run

Why am I not surprised?

Why am I not surprised?

Because White was already in the team?

No, because it is an Aussie paper.

It'll be embarassing if Australia today

Nice start so far got the dangerous Gibbs out. Bracken should have had him earlier but White dropped him.

I had to laugh at White when he tried to catch that ball. He was running slow and anything, and it looked funny because he was taking little girly steps

Now this bowling line-up is probably one of the worst I've seen in a while. Having Clarke + Dav splitting 10, both pretty orthodox bowlers. Then you have Hopes who isn't really an attacking bowler. Bracken (although I'm not complaining) is more so for the defensive efforts and then Johnson and Hilfy, neither in any great form. Not doing "that" bad though. Will be quite embarrassing if Australia do lose, will prove even without half their players SA are still great.

Till now i have not seen White in the filed i thought White is not playing today :confused:

SA are showing our batters what you do when the powerplays aren't on. Just take singles without taking a risk, not throw your wicket away time and time again. And it's worrying to see our batters continue to be slowed down by spinners, if it was Murali fair enough but Botha isn't in the same class. Surely we could play SA spinners similar to how they are playing ours.

Johnson went off the ground early, and got some extra tapping or some treatment, and White had the chance to take the catch.. 12th man
