Australias Tour of South Africa #2

[CrowsFan]

Sorry guys, but the point of locking the thread is to stop the discussion for a while and getting you to cool down. Just creating a new thread is going against the mods' wishes. So sorry to do this, but I'm going to lock this thread too.

[CrowsFan]

So I'm leaving this thread locked until the end of the current match. We will then reopen it and merge it with the other thread. When it is open please keep it to discussing the cricket and not resorting to insulting others. Bans will be handed out and some of you are already on your last warnings. I don't care if you claim someone else started it, if you respond then you will get banned too.

[CrowsFan]

Alright I've reopened the thread, so you can all celebrate the win we picked up. Who saw that coming a week ago! :o

Anyway you know us mods are going to be a lot stricter with this thread now, so everyone watch your behaviour.

good work and cheers HB :)

great work from the Aussies! Mitchy is on fire

1-0

If Watson is fit to play the next test, who makes way for him? As good as he was, it may end up being Doolan, or possibly Rogers if they decide they want Watson to open the batting. Going to be a really tough decision for the selectors.

[JBs-Hawks]

With a 4 day turnaround i doubt that they will risk Watson unless he is 100%.

[Bill Manspeaker]

I don't think they can drop Marsh or Doolan, so yeah it might be Rogers they drop for Watson and then either Watto or Marsh open

that's if Watson is 100% fit. don't want him to break down mid test

tbh I dont think they'll pick Watson even if fit :o

Yeah, surely they can't drop Marsh or Doolan, both played well.

Great win by the boys, :) :) :)

Way to demolish the #1 team  ;D ;D

I'm a bit over Watson in the test team right now. Faulkner is more deserving of the all-rounder role at the moment I feel.

I think Rogers will be kept until the end of the series and then sent on his way. He did a great job in the two Ashes series, but time to get someone younger in the team. Then it could be anyone from Hughes, Watson, Marsh or even Silk to open the batting with Warner.

[Bill Manspeaker]

just on Doolan, how flowerin good were his catches yesterday! them reflexes.

easy to do in indoor cricket, but outdoor cricket with guys bowling 140+ kms .. great catches!

[Nige]

Doolan's always been a good fielder.

[Adamant]

I think either don't bring Watson back at all or drop Rogers.
