They've just taken the third game, which makes it two-one in their favor.

Excellent stuff from the S'Africans, really they weren't in much of a place to win this one win 10 overs to go, but out came Albie 'I'm a fecking superstar' Morkel, where he proceeded to belt us all around the park - hitting 40 off 24 or something like that.

Ponting threw the game away by putting Hauritz on to bowl the fifth last over (by this stage they needed about 20 or so)... Now, I'm no world class Cricketer, nor am I one of the most successful captains of all time... But surely you DO NOT put in on an off-spinner when an in form Morkel and Boucher are at the crease, chasing runs.

But, like any good Aussie I'm happy to see us get done. If only to see Healy shut the feck up.
 
All 3 have been brilliant games. Hopefully SA will continue to win against the Aussies.
 
We get the Australian commentators.

They're all shit and horribly biased.

Healy, Warne, Benaud, Slater, Greig.

Huh? You actually want them to lose? Doesn't sound very Australian to me.

Yeah I do, and I know.

But I've been absolutely sick of our side for a while now, I mean yeah it was great and all when I was young and we were thrashing sides. But then it just got boring, especially after Mark Waugh and Damien Martyn retired.

Nowdays I only like the Hussey brothers, and that's at a stretch. Meanwhile I love Duminy, Gibbs, Amla the Morkel brothers, Ntini and Steyn....

Plus I hate the commentators we have down here.

Agree 100% cesc, im the same and like seeing Australia get beaten, people look at me like :eek: when i say that but it makes things more interesting, this series against SA will hopefully make things a lot more interesting and bring back some real excitement.
 
That was one hell of a thrashing by SA to take the series.
 
Is Symonds a complete fecking idiot or what?

In short, YES!

Doubt he cares though. I'm tipping he's looking for excuses to feck off and fish for 11 of the 12 months, then head off to India and earn a cool 1.3 million for a months work.
 
Duminy is awesome...

I hope he doesnt turn into a dick.

Healy was spokesman for some holiday thing which my parents bought into, only for it to go tits up and get little to no return. I bet Healy left with a good paycheck though the feckwit.
