Australias Tour of South Africa #2

[elephants]

Steyn is crook apparently.

I still love this team atm. Not sold on Doolan yet but we are certainly in the box seat for this test early on :D

4-297 at stumps, current partnership of 199 :)

[Bill Manspeaker]

great day for the Aussies, especially after that start. been an awesome partnership between Marsh and Smiddy 8)

[auscoyote]

Great partnership!, needed it at 4 for 90 odd.
Way to see out the day boys :)

Get around Marsh and Hughes, still would be shocked if we even win 1 game in this series.

Even if England aren't that great it's hard to even smash crap sides like we did England.

I don't think people realise how good Australia is.

Steyn ain't even a shower stain. This will be closer than most realise imo.

Being a Richmond supporter since 2001 I know not to get ahead of myself  :D

Didnt doubt Marshs ability but doubt how he deserved to be playing But well done lads!

Could say the same about Doolan, no way he deserved a spot. Hughes is a much better player.

And Marsh has been scoring runs in all formats for awhile, he's in great form. His 65* in the BBL was the pinnacle and they had to get him in after that.

Exactly!

But flower me, well batted.

MY MAN MARSHY YOU FLOWERING LEGEND! PHIL HUGES WHO? I CALLED THIS SHIZZLE! EVERYONE WHO HASN'T GOT ON THE BANDWAGON ALREADY, GET ON NOW.

Oh, and lovely work Smithy.

So much yes.  ;D

Go Smarsh!

[PowerBug]

SMIDDY!!!! Make this gun captain already!

[henry]

Fantastic start from the boys, couldn't ask for a better start after being sent it. I predicted either a 2-1 or 3-0 loss for us but this first day has been very promising.

I didn't like smith at all at the start of the summer, but he is converting me :p. He seems to get better each innings and really hope he gets the ton.

Similarly I was one of many who has critical of the marsh selection, but credit where it is due the selectors have come up with a god one there.

[The_Captain]

Marsh and Doolan to play i reckon!

Told yas so!!

[GoLions]

The Shaun Marsh over Phil Hughes pick is one of the most questionable selections I have ever seen. Just what merit is he being picked on?

Not going to say he won't perform, he'll probably make a ton and make me look like an idiot but there is nothing that points to him being better than Hughesy...  Average of 31 in first-class this season smh

Hehe
