I hope so , but wont get my hopes up then i wont be let down will i ?

Yep, I feel partly responsible... for jinxing you. How about if I don't mention your date of discharge again?

Not your fault mate , i think i just expected to go then got miffed when i didn't ............... i will just wait and see .... maybe thats the way to do it ?

Yeah, I think that's the way to handle it.

Amazing cricket match. Oz 284, SA 96 and now we are 16/5 in our second dig. Lead by 204. 17 wickets in 3 hours so far today!
Crazy... isn't it?

I haven't been following it to be honest , sounds like a interesting game . Just looking at the scorecards now , no audio commentary on bbc . How do you seeing going ?

If the trend continues....

Another one. Could be lowest ever Oz score. 18/6....?

Got the Skycentre on now with the ball by ball play on . What is OZ lowest test score ?

Would you believe 36?

That low , i wouldn't of believed that no . So are they batting that badly to get out for less ?

Yes, but SA are bowling very well and are making it look easy. Are you glad you are not in my shoes?

Yes , been there a lot over the years though . What would you settle for now ?

52 would be nice... do you still remember?

Remember what ?

They're asking about it on the test match thread... the 51 England made in the Windies... in early 2009?

Ah right , well erm 47 .... will there be a result ?

there will be a result, do you think it will be over before tea tomorrow?

Of course... they'll knock the runs off fairly quickly don't you think?

Listened to it this morning , next test should be interesting ?

yup, do you think changes will be made?

Who would you drop ?

i would drop phil hughes, but who would come in?

Im not sure , but i dont like Watson & Hughes as a opening partnership . So the batting line up needs changing not the bowling ?

They're talking about trying Cummins for Wanderer's which suits a little more pace... might be an option?

Dangerous thing an Australian side with a point to prove dont you think ?

im staggered that people wanna keep hughes in the side..

am i the only one who thinks he's awful?

No, I'm with you on that... did you hear what 'Mo' (Greg Matthews) said about the team after the match?

No what did he say ?

Linebreaker, what did he say mate?

Sorry guys... I just woke up.

He was at some function with Katich on Thursday - and said he (Kato) "should be in the team"... "should have punched Clarke in the head" (during that change room altercation a while back) and "what the #&%$! is Hughes doing in the side?"

here it is...

Mo is an absolute nutter yet he does have a point doesn't he?

ah right yh i saw that

Clarke isnt bigger than the team, do you think he will last long as skipper?

Not sure mate. To be honest he has grown on me a little - that was a decent 1st innings the other day... but he doesn't exactly live up to the reputations and achievements of our past captains does he?

Not his biggest fan but there is a LOT to live upto though isn't there ?

Maybe it will be a while before we have another legendary captain. Warner flew out this morning... do you think he can help us turn things around?

Are things that bad ?

Well Marsh was injured and had to be replaced... but yes, I'd say so after the 47. Have you forgotten?

That was just one innings though , a very bad one yes . Do you think Clarke will lose the captaincy ?

Thanks for your kindness...
No, not for a while - unless they keep losing.

That wont happen SA are a good team but i expect Aus to comeback fighting , so will Warner come straight in ?

Yes, it's between him and Khawaja but I think Warner is preferred. If it was up to me I'd drop Hughes... is that too mean or has he had enough chances?

Maybe drop him before he loses all his confidence , do you think he's suited to test cricket ?

Only against NZ although he did score 2 tons against SA last time

Just out of form then ?

I keep missing the question marks, don't I?

Yeah, out of form for about the last two years... since the NZ series in 2009?

How has he stayed in the team ?

Absolutely no idea... maybe someone thinks he will come good suddenly?

Friends in high places ?

what places are high?

The selectors I suppose... the pressure is getting stronger isn't it?

When is the next test ?

Tomorrow - Thursday... in Jo'burg. Have you been to SA?
