North is a decent alrounder, his bowling could be useful for Aus.

182-4

Strauss being put down twice - one a regulation slip catch by Chris Gayle - not helping the West Indies.
And Graeme Smith shelled a doozy earlier on today off Ponting.



A maximum from Cook! There's a collectors item

Aus are 411-7 with North 116no, pretty good recovery after being 38-3.

wheres frederick gloating

look now

we came back from 2-nil vs kiwi's . now look at the test vs sa

Paul Harris has had a stinker of a decision there, but their referrals are all gone. South Africa in big bother.

So are the Aussies maybe not as bad as we thought (hoped?)

Then again maybe SA can chase 400+ again!

As an england fan, i really like peter siddle.

Enthusiastic, and from what i have seen of him, bowls a tidy line and length and doesnt give much away.

Hope he has a 'mare in the ashes though!

cmon saffa's show some ticka

Aussie's on the verge now, SA 224-5

Come on lads bat out the draw!

6-271

there goooonnnneeee

Think you mean 271-6, Aussies ..... always backwards.

8-289

now in for a cup of tea

291 all out . thanku

spawny *#*#@#$

Aussies flying 119-0 (28 )

Hughes is 75no (90)

f---ing south africans, can't do anything right!

can we do it

Saffers 62-4 @ tea on day 2. They also have Smith and Kallis retired hurt

It's days like this I'm glad I'm not a Test batsman. That was a hell of a spell of bowling.

lets hope we keep the no-1 test ranking

All credit to the Aussies for bouncing back, but after winning 5 succesive tosses you wouldn't expect anything else really.

thank you
