Australia won 1st T20.
H Amla was the captain!
Re: SA vs Aus - series
AB Devilliers was injured thats why he was the captain.
Oh and I forgot to watch the match. Really looking forward to this series. Last two series between them were outstanding.
Re: SA vs Aus - series
Too bad it's a short series but should be fantastic to watch, nevertheless.
Re: SA vs Aus - series
Didnt i opened a thread on this series earlier 
Anyhow SA looked rusty …They will improve soon
Re: SA vs Aus - series
Second ODI in progress. First rain shortened one was won by Australia.
SA is doing good in second one. 218-4 in 40 overs.
Re: SA vs Aus - series
SA finished with 303 …
Can Aus chase it down
Go SA Go 
Re: SA vs Aus - series
Australia mean business, sent Ponting as an opener!
tough chase though..
Re: SA vs Aus - series
^ they only sent Ponting as opener cuz Watson is injured while fielding.
Re: SA vs Aus - series
Ponting gone
Re: SA vs Aus - series
122/3 in 29 overs, Hussey gone as well..
Re: SA vs Aus - series
Someone should take knives out against MEK Hussey for 37 runs in 62 balls, as well as Warner 69 runs in 93 balls (ODI).
Re: SA vs Aus - series
Australia 176/6 (40.3 ov)
Re: SA vs Aus - series
The Test Series Starts (means real cricket) :D
South Africa win the toss and bowl first.
Hpefully this will prove to be a quality contest
Looks like Khwaja is sidelined for a while after his poor run in SL
Re: SA vs Aus - series
Nothings like a good contest between Bat & Ball :D
**4.4
Steyn to Marsh, no run, welcome to Test cricket at Newlands, says Steyn! Back of a length at blistering pace and bending in, Marsh thought it was much shorter than that as he thought of ducking, and in the end takes a blow on the arm as he's caught in no man's land.
Shaun Marsh is in at 3.
4.3
Steyn to Watson, OUT, rip-snorter. Unplayable. Watson is gone, and he will look at the replays aghast. Steyn squares him up with a fierce away-swinger that as always angles in to land on leg and then goes away. It was too full for Watson to leave, and it moved too much for him to middle. It bangs the outer half of the blade as he gropes in search of the line, and balloons into the slips. Gone. Watson was made to look like a staggering drunk by the time the ball was done with him.
SR Watson c Kallis b Steyn 3 (20m 15b 0x4 0x6) SR: 20.00 **
Re: SA vs Aus - series
Things getting interesting 
**5.6
Philander to Hughes, OUT, another stunner, not a bad way to get your first stick in Tests. Vernon wins the battle of the Phils. That’s 500 Test catches for Boucher, too! 498 of them for South Africa. Similar ball to the previous one, lands short of a length around middle and off and then goes away like a charm. This was pacier than before, Hughes gets squared up as he angles the face of the bat in hope, but the ball takes the edge and is into Bouch’s gloves in a flash.
PJ Hughes c †Boucher b Philander 9 (27m 19b 1x4 0x6) SR: 47.36**
Re: SA vs Aus - series
Aus and SA test series is normally no less interesting than ODI series. Attack and counter attack keep on going till one goes down.
Looking forward to watch 'jhalkiAAn' tonight.
Aus were 3 down for 40 yet they are still scoring at 3+ rate over all (and almost 5/over in last 10 overs). This is the attitude that has kept them No1 for so long. They rarely goes into the shell. Just because of that they have almost recovered in 1 hour (113/3).
Re: SA vs Aus - series
Awesome stuff by Steyn. #1 bowler in the world.
Re: SA vs Aus - series
Aussies reeling at 214/8
Re: SA vs Aus - series
If not for Clarke, this match would have been over on first day.
See this is the kind of aggressive cricket and attitude we lack. Hopefully they will grow together as a team.
Go stuff those aussies! :k:
Re: SA vs Aus - series
I want Africa to win this test match
