Top stuff by Smith playing with a dodgy elbow and broken finger/knuckle. Too bad he got a peach of a ball that would've got most lefties out. Reminded me of what Wasim Akram used to dish up. Johnson is def the main man for Australia for next 6-8 years if fit.

Siddle is an honest work horse who puts in all day, lol @ comparing him to Steyn though. Wait till he gets 120 wickets first.

You obviously missed the whole series. He was producing balls like that regularly. Of course there willl be deviation on the 5th day......... The problem was the 3rd day when the Saffas used the light roller (20kg) instead of the heavey (60kg) as they thought that the pitch would crumble. A heavy roller would have made it a lot easier to bat on.
Tbh rollers have little effect on a turf wicket. Whatever job they do in holding a pitch together last for 30-45 mins tops. Pointless exercise having them imo.

45 mins is a godsend to Hayden and Niel Mckenzie :p
