...and you can add Rita Saffioti to the list of wankers for restricting crowd numbers to 40,000 at a BB final at the new stadium. Surely people can be trusted to get there a bit early and get home a bit later if it means getting a seat. If the game is scheduled to start at 4:40 as she says then you arrive at say 3:30 which is well within peak hour times and it shouldn't finish until near on 8pm....what's the problem?

LS...I just read what Mundine said...what a moron. Can you imagine the outcry by the PC and looney left if Horn had said that about Mundine? Why are they so quiet and not coming out and condemning his comments as they would if you or I said the same thing?

Watching this mob of arses getting strangled on normal cricket wickets is just a beautiful thing - and the looks on these vermin's faces is just priceless absolute gold , this lot just cannot play on anything that hasn't been doctored or rigged to suit themselves

Kohli certainly didnt like the send off that the debutant South African bowler Ngibi gave him after trapping him LBW on day 4 of the game. Like any bully he can't take the sort of treatment that he routinely hands out to others

There was a particularly nasty spray given to Hashim Amla in SA's second innings as well mate , and the normally sedate Amla was not a happy camper up in their rooms , he's a true cricket pro - and Virus's continual screaming upon dismissals & appeals is just a joke , I see there has been a penalty imposed for the ridiculous harassment of the field umpires about the early end to play & rain delays - the insidious prick then stormed into the Match ref's room with Shastri and both of them had another cry before the usual back down tactic.
One of the most satisfying & enjoyable viewings has been the failure of India in this series & the look on their faces when they get rolled , it's just pure stuff of gold

The other thing I noticed watching play last night Southerner is that the saffies attack isn't anything particularly frightening or concerning for the aussies. Sure it's workmanlike and useful and they're missing Steyn and the current track is playing a few tricks which makes them look pretty good but I don't think their attack is as good as Hazlewood, Starc, Cummins and Lyon. I guess it'll be up to the aussie batsmen to make a difference as the saffies bat right down to number 9....even Morkel at 10 knows which end to pick the thing up.

Vern Philander & Kagiso Rabada are without question two of the finest ever trundlers SA has produced - even without Steyn that is one hell of a lethal attack which will tear the Australian middle order a new arsehole unless Lehmann can conjure some magical transformation in the coming couple of months.
Only real weakness I've seen is SA's spin department & the keeper De Kock is out of form

Philander at 125 -130kph didn't look overly threatening imo although he did manage to get some swing away from the right handers. Rabada was quicker at 140+ on occasions but think the wicket with uneven bounce had more to do with it than anything they did...just my opinion.

Southerner: I tend to agree with you. I would also mention Donald and Van der Byl -- a big left-armer. Did'nt Philander bowl Australia out for 47 at Cape Town in one series?

You obviously missed the first Test where Philander took a 6 for and made a mockery of Kohli & co!
As AR has also noted he made us look like amateurs a few years back when we were 9/21 at one stage and were eventually rolled for a pathetic 47.
When the conditions and pitch suit Philander is just as lethal as Anderson with the late movement.
As for De Kock he is keeping superbly at the minute and his batting much like Gilchrist can destroy any attack on any given day.

Not long now - one more wicket and it's near on priceless looking at the flesh sagging from under Virus Kohli & Shastri's eyeballs sudden quiet in the balcony at the fall of every Indian wicket toward another defeat hahahaha
All of the rigged & sabotaged pitches , all of the bookmakers getting to officials & so called groundsmen , all of the onfield disrespect & arrogance well it's coming back to haunt that roost hahahaha

Gees mate that was a fair effort from the young 21yo Test debutant Lungi Ngidi to take 6/39 in the last innings including the wicket of V-Rat to clean up the currys and go 2-0 up after 2 Tests.
Ngidi won the Man Of The Match in his Test debut as well...there cant be too many to have claimed that honour over the years?
