A question ladies and gents

If we win the Saffas series , do we become the No 1 Test nation in the world ??

 

[happy_tiger]

I imagine the only chance Watson has of getting a recall will be if he can bowl at 100%

Who he replaces is the question

From memory, we just overtook India to be second in the rankings. South Africa I believe are a clear front runner that even a 3/0 whitewash in out favour wouldn't rank us number 1.

Watson just doesnt cut the Mustard, Sore Shinn, sore Toe, sore Hand, as someone said, He has to earn back his spot.

Aussies set Saffas 492 to win

 

[everett]

Peterson out Johnson again.

His 250 test wicket.

Should be over today.

PmSL graeme smith

2/12 Johnson gets Smith for 4

 

[foreveratiger]

Well Marsh can't be dropped after that performance , Watson might have to bide his time now till Doolan or Marsh have a lapse in form .
Aussies looking good might be all over by day 4.
Johnson is killing them

 

[everett]

8 wickets to go.

Johnson on fire. 2 more wickets to overtake Gillepsie on leading wicket takers.

Same team for second test.

 

[happy_tiger]

Can't agree with Clarke's tactics of bowling Warner when you have Lyon or even Smith in the side

Something I'd expect Alastair Cook to do

 

[innsaneink]

Haha the whole team gave it to DuPlessis as he walked off LBW Siddle

 

[happy_tiger]

Siddle gets Du Plessis

Saffas now 3/49

 

[everett]

3/65 at lunch.

7 wickets to go

 

[happy_tiger]

Amla and De Villiers are the two wickets , roll them and Saffas are gone

 

[Pierre_M7]

5/129 now, Johnson already has 3 and 10 for the match so far!

 

[softlaw]

HEEYYAHHHH!
Flogging :slight_smile:
Clarke, Lehmann & Mike Young have done some fantastic work with this team!

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Amazing, didn't think we'd slaughter them by nearly 300 runs, this side has really turned it's fortunes around. Massive props have to go Boof and McDermott, they've really done wonders with this side!

Went to bed with them 5 down….final 5 wickets falling in 10 overs.

Unbelievable turnaround......no rotation, no homework, just treating them like adults and playing them as a team

 

[Knuckles]

What a humiliating massacre …. The question needs to be asked is there anyone out there who can match it with Australia ? Perhaps India in India is the only obstacle.
