ok i read in the report that it was a small groud…
but when u have a target of 327 on the board, u do get a bit of a nerve…
but no such signs shown yb aussies as gilchrist made the intentions clear by hitting the 2nd ball of the innings for a SIX…
has australia become too good or its just that south africa has fallen below standards…
Just goes to show how good the Aussies are. At this rate the world cup next year will not be about who is going to win it as it will become a foregone conclusion, but more like who is going to come second.
I think the aussies have peaked toooo early for the world cup.

This is not the first time, a score this high has been chased, India chased the same amount against Pakistan but that was in Bangladesh, so no doubt this is different.
I think Australians are playing like usual but its the South African whose moral is low after the 3-0 test washout in Australia and more humiliation at home against South Africa, South African bowling is looking preety weak against Australian batsman but they looked preety amazing against NZ in the VB series, its just the Australians, same thing happend to Pakistan when they toured Australia after the 99 world cup in the carlton united series, there moral went down and they start loosing matches really badly.
