http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia-v-south-africa-2012/content/current/story/592717.html

MITCHELL JOHNSON LIKELY TO RETURN FOR PERTH TEST.

GOOD NEWS FOR AUSTRALIA.

JOHNSON IS THE BOWLER WHO HAS REMAINED INJURY FREE THROUGHOUT HIS CAREER.

SHAME ON CUMMINS AND PATTINSON

[Deep Dey]

Faf du Plessis' 78 is the highest score by a South African batsman on debut against Australia (Tests since South Africa's readmission). The previous highest is Andrew Hall's 70 in Cape Town in 2002.

Jacques Kallis' innings was his first at No.9. His score of 58 is the fifth-highest at No.9 for a South African batsman against Australia.


The 93-run stand between Du Plessis and Kallis is the sixth-highest eighth-wicket stand for South Africa against Australia and their third-highest eighth-wicket stand in Australia.


In his last nine innings against South Africa, Ricky Ponting has aggregated just 102 runs. His last century against them came in the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne in 2008.

[Deep Dey]

PERTH TEST COULD BE PONTING'S FAREWELL TEST

[Deep Dey]

MICHAEL CLARKE HAS SCORED 1280 RUNS THIS YEAR(TILL TODAY) AT AN AVG OF 128.

MOST RUNS IN A CALENDAR YEAR IN TEST IS SCORED BY MOHAMMAD YOUSUF (1788 RUNS).

CLARKE NEEDS 509 RUNS MORE TO CREATE NEW WORLD RECORD.


HE HAS 3 TESTS AND 1 INNINGS TO PLAY THIS YEAR.

CAN HE BREAK THE RECORD?????

[Sanjay]

He is 5 not out

[Deep Dey]

He is 5 not out

yes i said that only

3 test(2 vs lankans, 1 vs africans) to go this year for him + 1 inning of this test

[Viresh]

Aus may win this test...

[Deep Dey]

Aus may win this test...

stop dreaming

they cannot win just 2 pacers and 1 spinner.

I said yesterday someone should make aussie remember kallis batting in cape town test of 2011 vs india.

my fear came true today.

now australia has to play for draw.

yesterday i said, australia may get trolled by scoring 550 at an RR of 5+, again my fear came true

[Haseeh]

First session will key for SA as Day 2 n Day 3 they will look for curtail Oz innings before lunch

[Mad max]

By seeing score of AUS

i was STUNNED for a second actually

When Aus were batting it looked like a ROAD
when Proteas were 120/0
i came to a decision that it was definitely a ROAD

and on third day the PITCH has Dramatically changed that aus were 111/5 all of a sudden

I can say you that even on second Day it just remained as ROAD although Wickets fell

the aussies threw their wickets away in first innings

and Amla and Peterson gifted their wickets

on third day it has dramatically changed to a huge extent that the Worse Debut i have EVER SEEN(Excluding Vinay Kumar) has taken 3 wickets :O :O

[Mad max]

If matthew wade doesnt score in this series

I am damn sure his place is in trouble for Lankan series

haddin scoring a Century in recent sheffield shield

haddin's most likely to come in for Wade for Lankan series if Wade doesnt score in Perth
