[Mainze]

Saffers knocking the stuffing out of the Aussies already.

Standard ton on its way from Amla.

Aussies think far too much of themselves they need the extra bowler and in the end restored to bowling hussey and quiney.

 

[essex boy]

dont recognise half the aussie names in the side these days

 

[stephen cartwright]

Good to see. Aussies as ever went overboard on their bowlers.

Indeed, McGrath, Healy and co were foaming at the mouth at the start of play about their bowlers...

Hope they come here next summer with the same level of unjustified arrogance.

 

[essex boy]

if they come over with that bowling attack, carty could be paying out next summer

You'd have thought they'd have learnt to be a bit more humble after all their patter before the ODI series earlier in the year.

In fairness though, they've still got a decent record over the last few years if you take out the series against England.

Bit of a shocker for Duminy, out for 6 months after rupturing an achilles kicking a rugby ball about in a warmdown. He must have worked up a canny sweat watching the top 4 bat.

Watched abit of this earlier today.

Amla - quality
Aussie bowling - awful

England 4-0 next summer.

Pity the rain is bound to fuck up at least one of the tests.

I know I'm asking a lot but I hope it's not the Old Trafford game

Same here. Got tickets for Day 4.

Was wanting to book Day 1, it was "sold out" so the day after I booked tickets for day 4 Lancs announced "limited tickets now on sale for day 1"

Aus 365/4

Hundreds for Cowan & Clarke

Clarkes knock was superb to watch. Absolutely knackered today as result like.

SA wont mind a draw in the 1st test as the have effectivly been playing with 10 men.

 

[S'land till i die!]

Shite in the WI. looks good on flat wickets

 

[Crayon]

Ooh, Saffers in trouble. They could lose this.

 

[SAFC 2012]

That would be amla

 

[S'land till i die!]

That would be amla

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
