3rd Test: Australia vs South Africa, Newlands, March 1-5

[Illinois Nazi]

Must have hit the bottom of his bat and gone sideways. Unlucky bastard.

Just got the toe of the bat onto the yorker, into the ground and onto off.

 

[Smeg Head]

And now the sadness sets in that the test season is well and truly done and dusted.

Just in time for the football to start at least

Ticker tape parade through Bourke St after the tour plz

 

[DapperDon]

One can gloat without calling the opposition and umpires syds.

I don't want to live in a world where I can't call an umpire a syd from the safety of my animosity of my home computer.

 

[Dan Cooper]

To all those killjoys that tried to take the gloss of Australia's 5-0 win over England by claiming the South Africans would bring us back to earth with a huge thud....



.....UP YOUR BLURTERS!!

Just got the toe of the bat onto the yorker, into the ground and onto off.

Cheers. Didn't see him hit it and was thinking FARRRRRRKKKKK that swung a lonnnggggg ass way after the bat.

 

[TheHoneyBadger]

where are the plebs who said we would be smashed this series

Oh, if I had a dollar for every Indians comment on Cricket Australia's facebook statuses during the Ashes...
'just u wait m8 you aussi be found out by south africa and then come to india and play best team in world thats real cricket test'.
You just want to yell at them, but you know they won't understand.

 

[Public Enemy No1]

SA still Australia's bitches

 

[Illinois Nazi]

So anyway, I've just opened that envelope I sealed back in November, and would you believe it, I said we'd win 7 Tests this summer.

 

[Noctorniquet]

The South African supporters getting cockier with each dot ball was shitting me. They were ready to celebrate a draw for the ages. I wish I could have a book full of photos of every single face as Morkel's wicket fell.

A little something like this me thinks.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Bloody ripper!! Shit we cut it finely though. Amazing couple of yorkers from Rhino to snatch it, how bloody good is he!

 

[Harmichael]

Bed time cool dudes. Hopefully I get to hang shit on all of you tomorrow!!

So, how that all work out for ya, Van Der Flog?

 

[the distributer]

Test cricket is the bomb!!!!!! When we're winning anyway.

 

[Magma]

nothing but the utmost respect for graeme smith.

 

[Dan Cooper]

Test cricket is alive and well alright!!

 

[Rusty22]

this time last year Australian cricket was sliding badly, now its at its peak!

 

[ManWithNoName]

Just a build up of emotion mate.

Perhaps.

It's the same with AFL. I don't understand why after close wins, some people's immediate reaction is to turn to opposition fans and players and start screaming "F*** OFF" or calling them syds or what not. Or the umpires. Why take a moment of joy and be negative in that moment? Don't understand it.

Test cricket is the bomb!!!!!! When we're winning anyway.

The away ashes was amazing entertainment and drama (and fun on these boards!) even though we lost.

 

[tigs2010]

Surprised the Saffer commentators couldn't give away the man of the series to one of their players...

 

[Super Hans]

Jeez this guy is butchering the presentations. One thing I won't miss about this series is him babbling on.

 

[3rdManUp]

Wow, after all that he takes out MOTM and MOTS. Now that's sticking it to them

You're a legend Davey!!!

 

[tigs2010]

The away ashes was amazing entertainment and drama (and fun on these boards!) even though we lost.

I thought even better than the next 2 series. Up until tonight. Nothing will top this emotional rollercoaster.

 

[Kickpuncher]

Time to rewind the foxtel IQ and rub one out

 

[daz17]

Would take a tight test match over the entire Big Bash comp.

True, but I can't remember much about losing series.
