[Mad max]

The Overall average of Aussies Bowling attack is below 30 ..thats excellent but cant prevent Amla and Kallis ..

[Deep Dey]

25,114 people on day 1 at GABBA. A record attendance for a non-Ashes Test.

They were unlucky :O
No-Ball
LBW thing
Catch Dropped

Luck was not with them today !

[Deep Dey]

Duminy Injured after day 1 ended:
JP Duminy's participation in the Gabba Test is in doubt after he injured his left ankle during a training run at the end of the first day's play. Duminy had played no part in the on-field action but was doing drills with fitness trainer Rob Walter when he slipped. He was taken for X-rays immediately afterwards.

Bad for Duminy and Saf

He was the saviour last time when Saf toured Aussies

and only slow bowler in this test match

dont know how does Abd manages his Over rate with 4 quicks and no other slow bowler than Duminy

Might well Smith will bowl and may be even Alviro

ABD KAHA SE AA GAYA

Sa 1 batsman short.

Say it 1 bowler short

They already have enough of batsman

and let Aussies get 5 wickets ..then will think of Duminy

and dont forget Steyn's 76 at MCG last time and Morkel's 30 odd at Perth and MCG

so Proteas arent short of batsman i guess

M not telling u that Steyn will always score 50+
but i am saying u that Proteas arent short of a batsman rather they have an extra batsman

and this bowling attack isnt good enough preventing him from Scoring a 100 i guess

at that time he scored against Australia's best bowlers
Brett Lee,Mitchell Jhonson,Peter Siddle,Nathan Hauritz.

So this bowling attack is nowhere near when compared to that i guess

Current attack in better !

Lee was just not good in that series even Johnson.
Lee retired after that i guess !

[Deep Dey]

at that time he scored against Australia's best bowlers
Brett Lee,Mitchell Jhonson,Peter Siddle,Nathan Hauritz.

firstly Brett Lee didn't played

secondly Johnson scored century against the likes of steyn, morkel at durban, does that mean south african bowling isn't good enough ?????

Lee was playing @deep

I bet you Lee played .

Bt he did bowl only few overs because he suffered from Cramps.

of course Saf is strong enough..

but not everyday is a sunday isnt it

Steyn scored on a greenish tinge pitch isnt it ..

and more over Steyn is a very good batsman

he proved against India as well

remember Steyn and Parnell took South africa to very near but Saf lost by 2 runs or so

Steyn is more than capable of a Batsman

new ball is already taken thats why match was called off because clarke was going to his fast bowlers under fading light,so umpires called off.
