Australia v South Africa

[SAFC 2012]

opinions i guess, but i dont think ive ever seen amla play an expansive cover drive, and there records over the last year have both been pretty good

His cover drive is unreal

Amla for me too.

He does possess the most elegant effortless coverdrive mind. Dont know what you've been watching.

Could watch that Ponting dismissal all day long

Could watch that Ponting dismissal all day long

Was thinking the exact same thing. The expression "played all round it" has never been more true . And to make it better, the Aussie commentators were creaming themselves over the 4 he'd hit the previous ball.

Also, Kallis looks knackered. Pulled his hamstring, so twice in 2 tests have SA lost a player to injury on the first day.

Brilliant by Clarke. I wonder if the Austalian fans are still booing him?

What a day's cricket that was.

Well done to Pup for reaching 200 four times in a calendar year.

Imran Tahir - 21-0-159-0

Flat track or not, that is shockingly bad.

Do you know if he is on course for the most runs and most centuries in the calander year.

Iirc Mo Yousaf took both records from Viv Richards a couple of years back.

They seem to have butchered the Adelaide Oval. It'll be another concrete bowl soon. Big grass bank RIP.

Was just thinking that watching last night.

Don't know about centuries but he's just over 500 runs behind Yousaf.

If Tahir's one of the best spinners in the world imagine what Swann would have gone for!

Yousaf got 9 centuries
Clarke has 4 - each a double

He doesn't have enough innings left to break the most centuries and would have to get another 700 runs to beat Yousaf

Must be flat. Best spinner in the world

A poor decision. Will ruin the look the place both in terms of its beauty and its atmosphere.

its the best ground in aus, just making it into another soleless ground like the gabba and mcg, only perth worth visiting now

 

[dangermows]

Ball goes past the bat, makes a noise, deviates and leaves a mark on hot spot.

Fatty stands his ground.

Out!

Fatty shakes his head.

See ya fatty! (good knock like)

Aussies are flying here. 3 quick wickets and now the Saffers might not avoid the follow on.

 

[Mainze]

Safffers might last as long at number one as we did

 

[dangermows]

Safe hands from Ponting.

Saffers now 6 down for 240 odd.

Aussies look good like.

 

[stretch]

Bowling well -Aussie

 

[Crazylegs]

Didn't realise runners were no longer allowed.
