536@ Just For Kicks: Steyn does a bit, but Morkel would be damn scary……hehehe.
9 Needed
Cummins on strike to Steyn
Was that a 4?
Almost caught and bowled
Sharp catch put down, story of the day
Only 5 needed
I am so impressed with this 18yo Cummins, 4th 1st class match, and he is just soaking up the pressure, good on him. I think he has a very bright future ahead of him
Still only 5 needed, difference being Johnson will be on strike
Oh dammit, Tahir to bowl
Is this a good move? Tahir on
Single taken… Cummins on strike again
Review by the Blomme
Not out, going down leg
Could be out…
Wow, closer than I thought!
Fark, not out… marginal
Aussies win…
Cummins with a 4
All over-cadovers. Very poor show from SA I am afraid. Well done Aus to come back from that loss last week
To say that I am pissed off is a mild understatement. I disagree with Kepler, SA didn’t bowl well, there were times when they did, but in general not – except Philander
Almost, but not enough. If Steyn could only have caught that and instead it went to the boundary.
Well done Australia.
This is why I LOVE test cricket. Games like this make it so exciting one just never knows how it will end.
Pity this is the last test, should have been another 2 or 3 still to come.
man of the match should be cummins
player of the series … philander.
Well… that’s it.
Now the Blomme play Sri Lanka here from about middle December
Highest 4th Innings chase at Wanderers, ever
557@ Just For Kicks:Agree we should have beaten this Oz side. This is not a great Oz side and we should have beaten them well. But struggled to do so.
Said we were about 50 or 55 runs short. But if we had brought on Philander earlier who knows we may have done it. If Steyn caught that ball from Cummins we still could have. Pity it was a bit high but if he got him out the next surely would have gone.
Test cricket just got to love it.
Flok, dis hoekom ek eerder rugby kyk…
Cheers chaps, see you over the w/e for a bit of rugga
5 Days of graft, just for an 18-year old to take it away….. hehehe
Geluk aan die Chokers, vir ‘n oomblik gedink hul gaan ons verras en soos ‘n kampioenspan die kans aangryp om dinge om te draai teen ‘n swak Aussie span in SA, maar die hoop het al weer beskaam. Soos gewoonlik het hul ‘n ideale geleentheid om ‘n vashou op die Aussies te kry weggem..r. Die hele toer in geheel gesien, het die Aussies al strompelende gewen, want hul het die 1 dag reeks gewen en die 5 dag gedeel (T20 gedeel).
Weer 1999 oor, toe Gibbs vir Waugh gedrop het en hul daarna ons oorheers het vir die volgende 12 jaar, dieselfde geval hier, ons het ‘n baie baie goeie kans om hul vir die toekoms onder druk te sit en te begin oorheers weggegooi, nou sal hul weer sterte in die lug wees teen ons, vir die volgende dekade.
Geluk aan die Aussies, goed terugeveg, hopelik het die Proteas eendag ook sulke vegters wat die kanse aangegryp wanneer dit saakmaak.
Back again – just seen this on the wires, and thought I’d paste it –
Peter Roebuck Accused Of Sexually Assaulting Male Student
Nov 21, 2011 Steyn
Peter Roebuck
It looks like the investigation into the death of Peter Roebuck is far from over. The Australian sports journalist committed suicide at the Newlands Southern Sun hotel last weekend. He jumped six floors to his death from his hotel room window.
Police will now talk to 16 young men – aged 18 to 26 – whose education was being paid for by the sportsman and who lived at his eight-bedroom house in Pietermaritzburg. The men are mostly Zimbabwean, and many came from a home for abandoned boys in the country’s capital of Harare.
Roebuck had been accused of sexually assaulting one of them before his suicide. The alleged victim, Ital Gondo laid a charge of indecent assault against the former Somerset captain after claiming he had been “groomed” through Facebook.
This is not the first time Roebuck was involved with something like this. He was at the centre of controversy in 2001 when he received a suspended jail sentence for common assault after beating three teenage cricketers “across their bare buttocks with a cane”. The South African boys had been invited to stay at his former home in Taunton, Somerset, for coaching in the late 1990s.
frustrating!! this aussie side is nowhere near the great aussie sides of yesteryear … we shouldve beaten them and beaten them well.
wonder what gary’s plans are with this team … theres already talk from the aussies that they’re bringing in new blood … we? would most propably stick to those “you’ve served us well over the years”.
It was pretty obvious, I suppose, that something of this nature was going to come out
