....and your part in it was

Have to agree. I got this series so wrong it's untrue





I could see nothing but a South African walk over. Instead, their batting has been awful and Australia's weak bowling attack have stepped up the mark, particularly Mitchell Johnson.

Credit were credit is due

and a 80 year old record twin ies for the 20 year old aussie . step up and show some ticka

Looks like the Aussies have come back with some style.

6-318

need 220 more for a win . looks like sa playing for draw

You're so very perceptive - you figured this all out by yourself?

i can guess the no-1 ranking will be retained aswell

we won .

2-nil

Makaya Ntini was simply sensational this morning!! Just nothing went his way. Ponting also got a beauty from Morkel for a duck.

Australia 66-2 @ lunch

Australia have won all 6 tosses against SA in this year's tests and batted on good pitches each time, talk about lucky.

I hope pRicky has used up all his luck before the Ashes.

this 3rd test is a dead rubber

Strange how it mattered so much to the Aussies when they were 0 v 2 down in Australia and winning the last test

yer mann

we dont know how we going too handle the ashes

caught a bit of NZ V India last night Sharma and Khan were bowling beautifully, Ryder and Vettori contributing 220 out of their 279!

Saw some of that. 61-6 at lunch, so 279 was a massive score in the circumstances.

yes it is, entirely down to those two, India are 1 run behind with 4 wickets down

Australia 8 down and struggling

209 All out.

Really looking forward to seeing what this McGain fella is like.

how do you find that funny

Erm.......that would be because ALL non-Australians like to see them get their arrogant, cocky ar$e kicked all over the field

why do peeps think we are cocky

SA 148-1 at lunch, looking in good touch and aiming for a big lead.

Why Ashwell Prince was rejected in favour of Neil McKenzie once he was back fit I've no idea. He's perfect for an opener's role and already looks comfortable against the likes of Johnson who so dominated the first two tests.

Im sure a few weeks/months at Lancs will knock that out of him

He does not want to open, which is why McKenzie got the nod. The absence of Graeme Smith has forced it on him.

I don't know why - he's perfect for it. Great temperament, compact technique, and scores more quickly than he's given credit for. He's the natural replacement for McKenzie.
