My dear...everyday is not a Sunday. Albie had a fine Sunday during 1st match.. That would be his last one in the One Day Internationals. Aggressive Cricket is not a Vase of Luck...

I also want to say Sunday was lucky day for Morkel. After M.Johnson return I think Aus is going to win with 4-1.

You guys are kidding yourself when you saw Morkel can't do it again. He's done in the past and will do it again. Why do you think he is in the team? See his strike rate in last match, he didn't face enough balls to get them home. Duminy and Boucher wasted balls early on albeit to good bowling.

Your contentions are wrong Ms.Chel.
The Strike Rates of Boucher and DUminy are above 100.00 while S.R for other players including Devilliers, Gibbs, Kallis were very poor. So right from the start nothing was right for South Africa. Even umpires didn't get anything wrong (fortunately for Australia) to blame them at least.
In the end, Morkel should have tried getting strikes as he claims to be a Hero (like the likes of "once" klusner). But, never did he applied his brain taking unnecessary 2's on the last ball to donate the strike.
In the end, you should never fail to appreciate Aussies for their inexperienced attack performing extraordinarily with the help of some excellent fielding and stunning captaincy.
