England are already 1/3.

Cook went in the 2nd over to Phillander.

Said this on another fourm I post on, but Amla is my favourite player outside of Australia.  Just a beautiful cricketer to watch.  Amazing effort.

Where can we get one of these blokes??? Would love him batting 3 for Aus.

Surprised though that he was the first. SA have had some great cricketers over the years but no really big scores til this.

Was reading a joke on Facebook about this. How do England pick themselves up and be competitive in the next match. Answer : get Hashin Amla a british citizenship. He can join the rest of the South Africans playing for England

last time we went over there it finished 1-1, Patty Cummins got us over the line in the second test though, and Marsh was in really good form.. so i guess alot has changed since then.. i'm backin' us though :D

haha I know that, but cheers for refreshing my memory!

Still, I'm not confident for Ashes 2013.

Always rated Amla as a cricketer but there is something about him I don't like for some reason (maybe its the beard) ::)
