Cricket in South Africa.

After the great effort of SA in the first test :pinch: they have a few new faces in their line-up this time.

I was just having a look at the scorecard and discovered that no.7 batsman should hookup with the Pommies' Joe Root.

Sorry, but I have a child's humour at times.

Only on pay TV, Ray. Loving the cricket this summer.

Agree there, Steve. Johnson and Warner and Haddin have really played some exciting cricket.

Also good to see Lyon performing. We need a reliable spinner. This series might answer the question about whether the Aussies were so good or the Poms were so bad in the ashes. So far it looks like a bit of both.

Yes it is on the radio.

Good to see the aussies good form continuing and the opposition in shambles!

[ellicat]

Did everyone see de Kock making his way to the crease ?

Bahahahaha.

[samsteele115]

And the way he got out? Wow. Absolute Kock of a shot!

[benno573]

he looked like a right kock after that shot.

seriously though... could they produce a more boring pitch? bit of swing and bounce for the first 8 or so overs, nothing at all after that. more like a day 3 pitch than a day 1 pitch. MJ has them scared... or scarred.

tipping nathan lyon to have a big impact in 2nd innings.

Just wondering where the clever comments have gone?

Just wondering where the clever comments have gone?

After the 5-0 Ashes thrashing given to the poms, it was a bit of an effort to follow a secondary series, any way, look at that the Ozzies have thrashed the No. 1 test team on their home soil. :woohoo:

If your an Aussie you have to be happy with that
