The last time we won a test in Aus was when Ali Bacher was still captain and we won 5-0!

Yes they will beat them. The aussie team is in turmoil Haden thier openr is way out of form Lee is past it and thier wicket keeper think he is a batter and isnt. Its a real change of guard for them I think they are contemplating Shane Warne LOL PM

#Well we didnt win the third test but what a performance from Graham Smith batting with a broken hand and elbow. By loosing the lasrt test the Proteas failed to win the number 1 rankings but they won lots of respect for thier great performance led by thoier corageous captain.
Smith also finished the year as the leading runs scorer in Test cricket for 2008 with an aggregate of 1656 – the third best in history for a calendar year behind Mohammed Yousuf of Pakistan and Viv Richards of the West Indies. Smith also has taken his winning percentage as Test captain past the 50 mark.
Pretty impressive hey! PM

20twenties I never expected us to do well and who really cares about them, is a show for the fans, hardly enough time to get a decent braai and buzz going....

The 50over games will be good to watch....
