In your face............

International Tests Australia
by JJsLastLaugh (U4746666) 07 January 2009
comment on the article

The worst Aussie team in a decade this morning hammered the 2nd ranked side to cement their place at the top of the rankings tree!

5 points ahead of SA and a whopping 8 points ahead of the great pretenders India!

If there was ever a time that the mighty Aussies were to be surpassed, it was in this series, but skill, strength and mental fortitude has won the day for them.

I fear that SA and India's dreams of becoming number 1 will now remain just that as this Aussie team is going to improve in leaps and bounds in SA!

Ponting captained the side brilliantly in this match, finally having adapted to being in charge of a bowling attack with no matchwinners...............just hard graft toilers.

Victory today is going to give the inexperienced bowling attack new belief and the future can only gt better!!!

In your face............

JJ is hilarious, assuming I'm South African because I'm pointing out they're clearly a better side than you. No I'm English, and even as bad as we are at the minute, the Ashes are comin back this year. No Warne, No McGrath, no chance. 1st test: SA chase down 2nd highest score ever with ease 2nd test: even funnier, you have em at 190 odd for 7 and they get over 450!? haha. So what if you beat em in Sydney, everyone knows the saffers don't care about dead rubbers

dead rubber.......laugh

thats why the cripple captain came out to save the game!!

oh dear oh dear........i guess the need to kick an aussie is greater now than ever given the country is heading down the same toilet as your sporting teams.....

i think you'll find the trophy is merely on loan to SA till Feb!!!

remember you heard it here first

jimram makes a good point...south africa have a tendency of losing the last test when the series is won..same in england last year..but well played all the same..a great series for cricket, without the exaggerated macho idiocy that has been the trend lately. it's just a game at the end of the day, win or lose..when we take patriotism too seriously, we argue with strangers on the internet!
