Tea Day 1
Australia 2 for 218
Katich 84 no
Hussey 0 no

 

[El Diablo]

Hussey given out LBW

now a referral

 

[El Diablo]

that should be not out going off the last test

 

[El Diablo]

yup

Hussey not out

 

[IanG]

LBW overturned.

Does that mean Australia still have their 2 referals?

I'm still getting my head round the system. Personally I prefered the system they used in that Johnnie Walker Super Series where the umpire could do the refering.

 

[El Diablo]

yup

you only lose it if you're wrong

 

[eddiesmith]

Be interesting to see if it affects the umpires decisions with SA having none, I get the feeling some of their decisions they make they are unsure but chose a decision that will see it referred, might start giving the Aussies out more

 

[DragonPunk]

congrats to Katich for his century..another bluebagger

 

[TheParraboy]

What's the crowd like, many in for the first day?

 

[chileman]

Clarke out for 3 bowled by Harris 4-267 with North in hopefully to stop the flow of wickets!

 

[IanG]

Yeah they keep making comments saying saying they don't have a test attendance culture over there. Which is weird, but it'd be a different story with the shorter versions of the game.

Wonder what attendances will be for the 2 Twenty20 Internationals and the 5 One Day Internationals.

As I speak they're putting the lights on at Kingsmead.

I'm going to bed

Australia 4 for 294 after 85 Overs

 

[chileman]

Good night IanG, I reckon the 20Twenty will be sold out, One dayers not so sure about.
4-297, we have nearly reached that magical 300 figure and I reckon Australia will be pretty content with that if they finish with Hussey and North still at the crease.

Great day for Australia 2 Bluebaggers putting us in the box seat. Hopefully Hussey can get a ton and shut the Saffas out of the series.

 

[aussies1st]

Great day for us hopefully these two can go on and drive home our advantage.
