No, it actually is.

Steyn is everything Shane Bond could of been.

Steyn is so damn good to watch when the is bowling. Mitch Johnson is nothing compared to him. Without the pitch assisting Mitch, he can't do much. Steyn some how seems to find that extra bit and create things.

I think South Africa found out quickly that if you take out Mitch from going for your heads and just trying to scare you, then he gets lost a bit.

6 Months ago really isn't that long :lol:

All I can say is

Thank god that winning streak's over

Now we can all get on with our lives

Well this, Mitch relies on sheer speed and terror, if the pitch isn't bouncing and its slowing balls down by 10kph on average then yeah he isn't going to be as potent.

Be interesting to see what the CT pitch is like, can see it being quite green after what the second test produced.

Well this is the first Test we've lost in quite a while, can we just put it down to a bad performance by us and a good one by the South Africans?

Had our batsmen got the runs they were meant to get it would've petered out into a draw.

:lol:

Australia gets found out when Johnson isn't trying to take every batsmans head off :lol:

Pretty much if the pitch offers nothing, neither does Australia :lol:

Saw highlights yesterday of Mitch Johnson copping one on the helmet.

Best image of the summer :lol:

Gogo Australia

Go to bed 1/135 feelsgoodman.jpg

Wake up bowled out.

Wtf.

Fuck I love Dale Steyn.

Top order fails....again

V England 1st Innings in Brisbane - 5/100 , 1st Innings in Perth 5/143, 1st Innings in Melbourne 5/112, 1st Innings in Sydney 5/97. 1st Innings at port Elizabeth 4/112 and this innings here. Can't keep doing that & hoping teams let us off the hook.

Up to Warner now ( can't believe I'm saying this) and hopefully Lyon can hang around for a while. Morkel gave him a nice battering last night & after bowling what felt like a gazzilion overs still survived.

Not wrong.

-PB

I can see this being a draw unless we crumble in the first innings.

Boring pitch makes for boring game...

Uhhh, Clarkey, the slips cordon goes behind the batsmen, right next to Haddin :lol:

2/11. Here we fucking go!

Pretty insane game between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka last night, Sri Lanka recovered from 67/8 to post 180 and Bangladesh went from 114/2 to 167 all out in the chase :lol:

Surprisingly 'mature' innings from him too. If the old McCullum had batted two straight days, he'd be knocking on Brian Lara's record :lol:. Hope he gets the 300, full deserved.

Imagine batting for nearly 2 days. BMac must be f*cked. 20 runs shy of the highest score by a kiwi ever and subsequently the first kiwi to score 300.

McCullum is crazy good atm. Forget Australia/South Africa, New Zealand taking on the Aussies is the series I want to see right now.

Great knock by the both of them. Just confirms the fact the India are not much chop outside the sub-continent.

McCullum and Watling doing massive work in New Zealand atm. Partnership just hit 300 runs, from 104.4 overs. Still a long way to go though, only a lead of 148 with day and a half left.

Made them look shit.

Yep. Close to the worst run out I've seen given the circumstances :d probably the most brutal I've seen a number 1 team beaten on home soil

lol @ that finish.

Wtf haha.

Mitchell Johnson the best player in world cricket. =d> =d> =d> =d> Fuck the haters.

Middle stump is somewhere in another dimension. Now a broken bat.

Great catches today.
