Anyone shed any light on why AB De Villiers is called exactly that? I heard them say what it stood for (Abraham i think), so why isn't he just called that? Also, is he related to Fannie De Villiers, or is that the equivalent of Smith in RSA?

A tough day at the office for the Aussies.
Bowden no idea. Magill ordinary. Warne a little inconsistent. Fielding subpar. Ponting is still a shit captain alas.

Botha looks solid at the moment. Looks like pollock looks likes he going to up the tempo. Probably about due as well.

Once again when things don't go their way, the 'tough' Australians become petulant cry-babies...

Gotta agree with all of that REB, plus your thoughts on Hodge I really don't think he'll have a long test career either.
