South Africa's tour of Australia - November 2014

[Spickery]

There will already be one change to Australia's winning team with Steve Smith set to replace the injured Michael Clarke. Rumours are also going around Mitchell Johnson may be rested from tomorrows match. I would prefer he played the final match at the WACA and I would instead drop Mitch Marsh because of his poor performance in the last match, which would allow Kane Richardson to play to give us another specialist bowler in the team.

What a gritty innings from the little Marsh?
Sheer Talent.
Just thinking what India will do on this piece of 22 yards.

Mitchell .Starc. IN FOR Mitchell Johnson
Kane Richardson IN FOR Nathan Coulter-Nile
Xavier Doherty IN FOR Glenn. Maxwell

Channel 9 commentary team is so biased, especially Mark Nicholas and Slater. Even if Australia are struggling, both of them will find a way to kiss their ass. They desperately need an outside perspective and they should have really had one commentator from South Africa.

I don`t think if history can ever be rewritten ;-). Its just made as events occur.

From 98/5 to 268/7

Steven Smith (The Future Captain)

The MCG jinx is over !!!!!!

1st win in 7 matches against RSA at MCG !

Fantastic batting by Steve Smith who made 104 and guided Australia to victory! James Faulkner also played a big part in Australia's win late in the innings when he scored 34 runs from 19 balls not out.

This series win over South Africa will give Australia a lot of confidence now in the 50 over format of the game. We are also close to working out the squad that will play in the World Cup.

Just need to get rid of Maxipad and we should promote Faulkner

 

[Spickery]

The finisher Faulkner does it again! That got way too close at the end.

Disappointing series. Side lacks balance without JP. Work to be done before the world cup.
