Well. Robbie Deans had a crack, so did Ewen McKenzie. They could stop the Wallabies from growing long hair and tying them back in pony tails. Can Chek?

At 9 to 1 on to win the World Cup, gotta be worth a lazy tenner.

Best to start practising in the rain.

Doesn't count; the only series which matters in cricket is the Ashes. Not looking good.

I thought Australia had smashed them for a few mins last night. We left the pub to go to the 4 nations at Suncorp & when I checked the score after the games Australia were batting again. By the time we walked to the next pub they'd lost another couple of wickets.
Top stuff but not a night to be revelling in it with so many dejected Aussies drowning their sorrows in the pub. Good effort by the Kiwis not so good from England but still a win

Australia is a playing Pakistan, not the Kiwis.

And playing them in Dubai as it isn't safe to play them at home.

Australia absolutely battered - great stuff

SA's lead as No.1 increases. The best that Aus can get at 1-1 is 121 points (down from 123)

SA still best in the world - as they deserve

But when England or Australia are No.1 (or can go No.1 by winning) it's a different story. Funny that

There can be only one

Come in spinner.

Who won last time we played SA in SA; forget about rankings which largely depend on how long since you played your last series - long time for us.

1st line of post #5628 above explains this Aussie attitude

Who won last time we played Aus in Aus - and the one before that?

Look I posted the Ashes is the only series that matters bit facetiously.

As I said, you came in hook, line and sinker when the bait was dabbled.

Well done Pakistan on the win, end of story.
