They have careers stats to get a break once in a while....Yuh think dat de WI batsmen bar SHIV, have international stats to be compared to the OZ ans SA batters? 8-) :lol:
So i guess the likes of Edwards and Bravo can't compare with the likes of Marsh, Hughes and Rudolph? OK DUNCY!! :lol:
:lol: :lol: :lol:
For the record, I don't rate Rudolph and Hughes....

I think Alviro and Khawaja respectively should be in the side ahead of them. As for Marsh, he's started with a bang! Let's see if he can maintain that momentum. Ditto for Lil Bravo and Kirk....

Smith and Amla get their half-centuries....

They seem to be batting on a totally different pitch.

Couldn't believe my eyes when i saw the close of play score on day two.

Seeing 23 wickets fall in one day has to be some kind of record. I can't recall the last time that both teams were bowled out from start to finish within the same day of a test match.

probably a record with 23 wickets in a day... Anyways, this wicket playing differently by the day... Aus bundled out for 47, then Smith and Amla scoring tons next day...

That's 266 all out!

Is that a good score, or a bad score?

We'll only know when the Aussies bat....

Australia 194/3 (47.5 ov)
Australia trail by 72 runs with 7 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

looks like 266 wasn't a good score to get a first innings lead..

The Aussies collapsed from 174 without loss, after 88s from openers Watson and Hughes....

Now, they're struggling at 233-6, after Steyn took three wickets. This could be a one-innings game.
