Oh dear. It seems Graeme Smith and his boys are in a spot of bother. Our Aussies walloped 434 for 4 (highest ever ODI score) with Ponting top scoring with 164. South Africa just went in to start their innings, and they've already lost a wicket for just 3 runs. I'm already looking forward to the press conference after the game to see Graeme Smith eat some humble pie. I only hope he doesn't "choke" on it. C'mon Aussie!!!

Ummm, yeah. I went to bed after the Australian innings, not even thinking about anything but a big Australian victory. I backed South Africa to win this series and I'd completely written off that bet. Well, I've just got up and heard the news. Incredible. :eek:

Looked like the choking comment was a day too soon, watched it from work on cricinfo.com. Evey refresh the runs kept coming. Lost 10pts on that test.

Heard something quite hilarious the yesterday, some punter did a live bet during the switch over of $20,000 on 1.01 for a quick 200. A few hours later...


Heh, I'll take 10 pts over 20k loss anyday!

Edit: Should read bottom....up. re: ouch.
