Australia Vs South Africa Test Series Discussion Thread

[tbagrocks]

Hmm, looks like we're relying on Clarke again.  :-\

This top order needs sorting real quick, Hughes just made a ton and Khawaja last week, I'd keep Warner and probably Cowan

[Windigo]

Give Quiney the boot FFS.

Ponting out.  :(

[Ringo]

Ponting gone - Game evening up.  Is this his last innings as well.

[JBs-Hawks]

Devastated was hoping to see punter bat tommorow as I will be on the hill :(

[colmullet]

yeah it may be a double change for perth with Usman and Watson coming in....the openers are doing ok i think its 1st and 2nd drop where we are in trouble lately

[Jukes]

Quiney pair of ducks :( never good to see that in a player's second match.

Reckon if SA can get Clarke and Hussey out before Australia hits 200 they'll win this. Lot will be decided session one tommorow.

[Capper]

That was the last time Ponting will play a test for Australia at the Adeliade Oval.

Quiney out, Watson in. Apparently hwe is right to go for the next test.

Im glad Siddle got out, he looked wrecked after the bowling today, needs some red meat in his diet

Maybe Phil Hughes should get a call up to the squad, perhaps not the XI straight away. :-\ The obvious choices are Khawaja and Watson for Quiney and Ponting and I think both need to go ahead.


South Africa right in this match, 273 is already a big total to chase, but this is going exactly how my dream test match would go, excluding the injuries. Team A makes a solid score, Team B finsihes short of the total but then has Team A on the ropes in the 2nd innings which usually brings an exciting 4th innings chase.

Yes and Adelaide Oval is a great place for a run chase to be held. The spinners will really come into it tomorrow afternoon and on day 5 and we are in for a fantastic finish to a great game of cricket!

I dont think they will drop ponting. but they might "REST" him

Been at the game for the past two days, members stand is an awesome place to watch cricket   8)

If Hussey and Clarke can put on 80 or 90 and the tail wags a little bit then we SHOULD be OK. I don't think Clarke will declare though, hoping it goes to Day 5 cos I'm not going today

[JBs-Hawks]

Mate the hill is where it's at. Beer with breakfast going down a treat.

[Tominator]

who was that big dark-skinned guy in the nets on Channel 9 at the tea break? I couldn't tell if he was West Indian or South African but he was signing autographs and getting photos with people too, anybody know who he was?

[stew42]

Sir Viv Richards mate, what a legend!

[Tominator]

Sir Viv Richards mate, what a legend!

Hope it lasts to Day 5 so I can get see some more action!
