South Africa

How have they managed to become so shit in the space of 3 weeks? I can only think it's complacency. They completely turned to jelly for the jamodis after winning the test series in England last year, and the same now looks to be happening after their success in Australia.

Doesn't matter how, or why.

If it continues, then lets add it to the list of great SAffy cricketing chokes.

A home series against Australia, having just beaten the Aussies in Australia, meaning that the world No 1 spot was on the line. Maybe it's the ODI choking spreading to the Test arena.

Sandy in 'not giving the aussies any credit' shocka...

The series in Aus was the same. One team would have a good seesion then the other would hit back.

Taips, you're typing with your accent now. seesion, FFS.

You knew what I meant unless you are chanelling taily/red.

Oh, and guys...it's the 1st session of the first day.

This Test has some ways to go yet.

Don't even think about going there...

So you are happy to channel taily?

well, south africa did need extraordinary performances to win the two tests in australia. they didnt dominate that series at all and with a bit of luck australia could well have won 3-0. so all talk of them suddenly destroying australia at home was way off the mark

You farking what!?

Australia always had the likes of Warne, McGrath, Gilly and hayden to win the big moments. Suring the past summer homes series we just couldn't win the big moments and it cost us the series.

The ABdV/Duminy partnership in Perth then the Duminy/Steyn partnership in Melbourne cost us. TGM x 2 wouldn't have let that happen.
