    @MN5 I don't know about that. Steyn is the undoubted stand out. Boult would be the #2 in a combined attack. Their spinner is on debut, while Santner just had a decent tour of India. I think they're still better, but it's not daylight second (even if Morkel was fit)

    Vernon Philander is pissed off you're ignoring his "better than Hadlees even in todays batting friendly era" bowling average. No fucken way Boult usurps him.

    jesus mate, he averaged 52. though his first class average is 48, and tests are a bit tougher, so i guess he might have made par.

    Fucking Marsh boys. Taking nice catches. Daddy will keep them on the strength of that alone.

    Oz fans probably scratch their heads at the inclusion of Mitchell Marsh. NZ do the same with ( insert any spinner since Vettori retired )

    de Kock getting stuck right in.

    RIGHT.

    IN.

    Proteboks get past 200 as a result. Decent total with that attack to back them up.

    Quite possibly. Also with Marsh the younger and Voges surely....SURELY due several failures against a decent attack she's anyones game.

    227/9 is nowhere near good enough on this pitch. Aus well on top.

    Welp, the Proteas better bowl a lot better tomorrow morning or they could be in dire trouble.

    Disappointingly, the Marsh brothers haven't fucked up nearly anything.

    Woah 158/0 to 241/8, solid collapse from the Aussies and it's game on. Though Steyn is injured.

    M Marsh with no wickets and a duck so far. @NTA torn between the satisfaction of telling the world so and blind fury at how bad he is.

    Just reading about that. If the tour result was in any doubt, it's not now.

    Also, this Aussie team shows me why this isn't a vintage Aussie team. Losing theg rip on the game with a collapse like that - very unAustralian!

    how many tests has he missed though? It's like the McCaw stat - he missed very few tests, so winning without him was difficult by definition.
