If so what a career

Maybe, off to have an op, next test series is in October in Dubai vs Pakistan

Already talk of resting him there and having him right for Aussie summer and then Ashes in England.

Will all depend on how is older body recovers from surgery

Graeme Smith- classy bloke!!!

[LBT]

What a gutsy effort by Rhino. I had almost given up.

Graeme Smith- classy WIFE!!!

Agree

[mighty_tiger_79]

Well I thought it would go close to being a draw

I bet clarke was twitching

[mighty_tiger_79]

The finish to this test match
The tension
Better than any other form of cricket

[Jim05]

Great finish, great to stick it to that mob. Enjoy beating them more than the Poms. Fantastic to send Smith off as the skipper of a losing side. Absolutely dominated the series and a draw would of been a terrible result as we were probably only outplayed in a handful of sessions over the whole series.

Yep, far better than that teeball crap.
Instead of playing 5 tests we now have to play 3 meaningless hit and giggle games to end the tour

[The Dark Knight]

Eat it floggers!! Go the Aussies Australia you f**king beauty!

[mighty_tiger_79]

I think perhaps all test series involving countries ranked 1-5 are 5 match series??

looks like the beers are flowing

cant happen, the schedule is crowded enough as it is.

definitely should be 3 test series though, which has failed to happen recently

[Jim05]

Get rid of the T20 crap and the schedule wouldnt be crowded.
A month off for the teeball WC what a joke!

But the kids love it... isnt that the most important thing?

[scoob]

Don't think we will need 150 overs at them - unless we call in the spudback bowlers

Agree but Clarke is very agressive and worse case scenario for us is they fall a wicket or two short

Oops!!!!

Bang on.... only needed 135 overs

Fantastic interview with Michael Clarke on the CA website

Fantastic interview with Michael Clarke on the CA website

yep great interview, admitted he was out of line re Steyn, gives credit to SA where due and praise for his players and support staff!

Love this ending to a Kimber article:

In the years to come it will read 24.3 overs, 15 maidens, 32 runs and four wickets. But unless it was written in synovial fluid, tears, bone, tendon and blood, no one will ever understand how good Ryan Harris was today. Whatever is in that knee, I hope they remove it, and get Ryan Harris fit again. Then I hope they show the removed item in a museum and schoolkids are bussed in to see it for years to come.
