WICKET! Bowled him. New ball does the damage and it Bracewell again who claims the scalp, Greame Smith departs for 115 and Rudolph is coming in at 5. South Africa 247/3. Kallis is currently on 99

Kallis gets his 42nd test century with a 5
Great knock by the great man

 

[Hallatia]

South Africa 256/3

 

[Hallatia]

Rudolph was given out, overturned on review. South Africa 267/3, lead by 232

This University Oval seems like a suburban ground. It doesn't even have floodlights

Well it's all part of that new direction that New Zealand Cricket are taking test cricket over there. Playing test matches at more boutique grounds.

Hence why Auckland cricket are wanting NZC to make an exception next summer when the Poms are over there cause they want to host a test at Eden Park

 

[Hallatia]

it's stumps on day 3. South Africa are 268/3. South Africa lead by 233.

And Cricinfo is still down and that is going to cause me a nervous breakdown. I NEED it!

[Hallatia]

I don't want a hug, I just want cricinfo working! *hyperventilates*

So do I. There's a few podcasts up there I wanna download

We regret to announce that a DNS error has caused the site to behave erratically since yesterday. The problem was fixed immediately, but frustratingly, it’s taking time to propagate to all the servers round the world.

That’s the reason why some of you can’t still access the site while the others can. We are grateful for your patience

I still don't have access and it is driving me mad

 

[IanG]

Grinding your gears

 

[Hallatia]

it's more severe than mere gear grinding. Cricinfo is second to oxygen in my survival

 

[Hallatia]

it's back!
I am so happy

[Twizzle]

he looks fat

 

[TheParraboy]

he looks fat

every cell in his body has a purpose

 

[Twizzle]

you probably right PB, maybe he just has way too many cells

 

[TheParraboy]

Every cell has made him into the great cricketer he is, many are envious

 

[Hallatia]

they've put "heavy bails" on because the lighter ones were blowing off because of how cold and windy it is in Dunedin. I know the wind will help, but won't the heavier bails be more resistant to falling off at times of an actual wicket?
