Agree about Ponting - last chance for a few players actually.

I can't see Australia getting skittled for next to nothing again that's for sure. Well, actually I can see it but only in my dreams with a big dopey grin on my face.

All opposition teams should get stuck in and help themselves while they can.

You're a local, Vim. What's this irresistible offer the 'Australian Cricket Family' just emailed to my junk file?

I only signed up to the ACF to get priority Ashes tickets, it was all a big cock up needless to say.
SA batting and doing OK at tea after some early losses ... Watson injured, big surprise ...

Re: England v India, who is going to win
This SA team really are wasting their talent at the moment in my opinion.
They have all the right players in the right positions but you look at their record of the last two years and, quite frankly it's pretty poor considering.
They haven't won a home series in some ludicrous amount of time. They should be jossling for position with England on skill as well as test ranking and at the moment all I am seeing from them is an undeserved jossling in the rankings only. They were quite lucky to win the last test against quite possibly the worst Aussie team of the last 25 years and now they have just done a very good job of throwing away a position of strength

But, as ever, you can only judge when both teams have had a bat ... If the SA bowlers come out firing then who knows what mental state the Australian batting line-up is in?
The Watson injury might not help confidence early on either.
