With Steyn and Ntini rested and Kallis most likely rested as well, Australia would have to be morals, right? You'd think so, but christ you couldn't play them with much confidence atm.
I might parlay them with a bit of Orlando Magic ml...not sure.
If Australia can't score 300 against this bowling attack, well......they'll get thrashed in South Africa.

yeah AB, you'd love to think Australia would just crush this game from wire to wire given the South African 'outs' and the motivation to avoid further embarrassment.
but our guys look like they'd make hard work of beating ANYONE at the moment.
But having looked at the line, 1.43 about Australia seems very "suggestive" to me. Clearly South Africa is taking a pretty relaxed attitude into the game.

I believe the Australian batting order will stand up today, considering there is runs all the way down to Hopes at 8, 250-280 shouldn't be out of the question. The bowling attack looks better with the omission of Tait imo, and Bracken and Johnson should be able to limit the SA top order sufficiently and if Kallis is out I believe that SA will not come close.
Aus ML for me, despite how much chalk there is, may play around with a few props including Warner first to 25 and top scorer for small plays. This means more to Australua, SA will be happy to wait for their No. 1 position..just a couple of months.

Agree gun. Bracken makes the attack look far better and I'd even stretch that total of yours further. They really should get 280+ against this attack. If they can get Gibbs without too much damage done they should win

Has looked like a cat on a hot tin roof just about every time he's come to the crease this season. Nervous, jittery, going hard at the ball, forcing shots on the up ect. And his trademark bad habit of locking up and proping on that front leg.
he's got some work to do.
Ponting's batting SUCKS !
