Great stuff Harry!

I for one am damn pleased that Paul Harris finally got the recognition he deserved as he bowled SA to victory in the third and final test match.

Harris has taken a lot of criticism ever since getting into the South African side and for him to take 9 wickets against the Aussies is a power performance that shows just how valuable he is to the team.

"Harry" has always looked like a good fit for the SA side from a personality perspective and if he could learn to stick around a bit more with his batting he'd be an even more valuable contributor.

Aussie first innings - 17-5-34-3
Aussie second innings - 42.5-9-127-6

Damn great spell of bowling even if the Aussies had thrown caution to the wind and at least we restored some respectability beating the arcg enemy in four days.

Yes, he did bowl real well. Criticism towards him, is mostly unfair because the pitches that are provided to him, are usually for fast bowlers and I still feel he does a decent job every single time. Chips in once in a while. Good player.

SA did play well and showed their dominance from the start. A little sad that they showed up to the party a little late. Hopefully, this win will give them a boost for the T20s and ODIs. Looking forward to seeing Gibbs back and you can never go wrong with Morkel!

On a lighter note, SA has some real hot women! my jaw dropped every single time!

Yes we are damn proud of our women! MY jaw dropped a coupla times as the camera went around the park...

Albie Morkel.... hhhhmmm not sure he is a long term first choice solution and we need Morne Morkel back as an out and out first choice front line bowler in the not too distant future - maybe being dropped will serve as a wake up call for him

Agreed - a real gem from AB Devilliers...

Mitch Johnson's knock wasn't too damn bad either!
