i'm finding it funnier that Snith was saying how the crowds were going to be
more hostile in SA and Aussies were going to find it real hard, THERE IS NO
***ING CROWD! No wonder, SA play the most boring cricket in the world that
their own fans dont bother to show up. Absolutely appalling crowd numbers.

The Aussies choked at the Bullring with big help from the crowd, or have you
blocked that out?

Yeah it is a bit sad that they're not pouring in - Durbanites are usually
sports freaks. Must be good waves. Hopefully they'll come in during the
afternoon and tomorrow to get behind the boys.

Is that Brearley's final Test average against Aus? Smith's? Has Smith
played his final Test innings against Aus?
