Michael : "As a South African living in Australia I complained a little about having to get Foxtel subscription but it is well worth it now"

Obeid: "@AJ, Being a Saffa fan all my life, I still feel this is a score that can be defended given Australia's fully fit bowling line-up and South Africa's jittery batting order. Should be a good contest if they can get Top 3 out early. "

AJ Simpson: "All those hoping for this match to be close are living in a dream. Australia are no longer the team they were at the start of the year.
