Australia v South Africa

[Richo]

Great start for Australia......1/123 off 18 overs, I just hope Australia go on with it and can actually defend a big score because they haven't done it in recent time (In NZ).

Anyways C'mon Aussie C'mon !

awsome start australia are making a statement to other teams espically south africa hayden aggresive shot making is a good thing and
1/152 only in the 21st over the aussies are going to get a big score
but will we bowl well

aussies need to nuild a parntership ponting needs to hit more boundries and clarke needs to hit a run a ball he bats to slow
shame on the slectors dropping brad hodge no victorians

 

[Richo]

I don't care if there are no Victorians in the the team as it is not about that but I thought Hodge should have played !

 

[steve-o]

i ment that for the sake of the team hodge is a great batsman is unfairley treated

 

[cliffy21]

I agree I thought Hodges should be in the team ahead of Clarke but Pup came through for us today! Looks like Australia are putting the squeeze on... I think Mcgrath has bowled magnificently since his first three balls went to the fence. Just shows the experience of the champion and yet again he proves his doubters wrong. I am still worried about our bowling attack leaking runs though

 

[Magicman]

boucher out, bowled by Tait . 4/256 with 11 overs left.

 

[lockymac]

AN AUSTRALIAN wearing a Canadian hat.

and great bloody effort wooooooooooooooohooooooooooooooooooooooo and wasn't that a nice innings by Punter? But Hayden definitely set the tempo!

Great win by the Aussies over the #1 one day team in the world.

Whilst he didn't do a huge amount (probably a good thing) the presence of Symonds makes a huge difference to the look and attitude of the team. He adds a heap of depth and experience. Aussies will only get better from here.

 

[AndrewG23]

what a batting performance by matty hayden!! great win by the real #1 team in the world.

 

[Klattsy]

Anyone worried about Mike Hussey's form?

I love him to death and I know he's got a great record behind him but it's been a lean trot...

Just saying...

Mark.

A fine win by OZ - didn't see the batting but looks like I missed a treat.

That's the best I've seen the Aussies bowl in ages over the last 15 or so overs. They were all on the money - looking good for them...

 

[clarkescards]

Watched the Aussies bat. What a display. Didn't seem they were scoring heaps of runs, but still almost made 400.

Didn't see the bowling, as I had to sleep, but seems like a good effort.
