1st Test: South Africa v Australia at Cape Town Nov 9-13, 2011

[Hallatia]

Tahir's on!

 

[Hallatia]

looks plumb to me, 10 to go for the record

 

[AlwaysGreen]

How many times has ponting got out like that in the last 3-4 years?

Steyn is so far ahead of every other fast bowler in the world its not funny.

 

[Hallatia]

Beautiful aggressive over from Steyn to Clarke.

This test is living up to my anticipations. I LOVE the South African attack for this test.

 

[hineyrulz]

Lovely shot by pup, we really need a captains knock here. Steyn has shown his class this morning.

 

[Hallatia]

Steyn! 9 to go!

 

[Gidley Up]

Michael Clarke is looking better than me. Supreme batting.

 

[Patorick]

"Marsh's confident and bold assertion against the LB decision was akin to a child defying his parent that he didnt eat the chocolate, although it is evidently smeared all over his face, hands and pants."

[Hallatia]

my man Morne gets one

 

[Hallatia]

Number 4 for Steyn! 8 to go!

 

[lockyno1]

Please tell me why on a damn greentop we are playing Siddle ahead of Copeland or Cummins...please I would love to know!

220 is a good score on this wicket,we can roll their lineup under 200.

 

[saint_marto88]

Outstanding hundred by Captain Clarke

 

[Hallatia]

and Johnson throws his wicket away. Philander gets his second
Australia 202/7

 

[Big Pete]

Well done to Clarke, terrific innings.

Unfortunately Johnson gets out not too long after, doubt we'll make it through today.

 

[Gidley Up]

Brad Haddit...

 

[Hallatia]

Philander picks up his third

making it hard for Steyn to pick up 12 in this match. He will still get the record if it takes him 2 matches, but if he compleetes the 250 in the next match he will have to share the record with Lillee.
Just give Steyn the ball back now, he can take the last 2 in this innings and six in the next.

 

[Patorick]

Bad light, they're off.

 

[Hallatia]

this bad light call is utter bullshit, we have already lost enough play and the light is fine, what crap. This is most annoying

 

[Patorick]

Most.

 

[Hallatia]

There's some drizzle and they look likely to call stumps soon.
The good news is, early start tomorrow -7pm Sydney time, much better forecast for the rest of the test at any rate and we should get a result with time to spare judging by how this pitch is playing.
