Steyn's a classy bowler, he'll recover with several wickets.
Would like to see Tahir come in for an over or 2 before lunch.

Sunshine in sublime form, I reckon this will be his 1st test ton on foreign soil

Aust 0/40

I think he has been a bit fortunate hitting the ball in the air through covers

Hughes looks pretty solid though, he normally looks like he can get out at any time but looks like he has worked hard on changing his technique

terrible session for South Africa.

But Steyn is all class and will redeem us in the next session.

I dont believe that for a minute,

he may have said that in an interview but all bowlers dont like getting hit for boundaries
I did believe him, even from watching him,conceding a few often helped him get the batters out to shots they shouldn't be playing.

He didn't only say it about himself, he has said it in commentary too, that you don't mind conceding some of those for a greater purpose.

looking at this pitch and these guys batting, makes you wonder how we bowled them out for 260, or worse still, how we are gonna bowl them out in their second innings

shit, I thought it was meant to be lunch after Tahir's last over and gave it a break then:oops:.
Probably a good thing missing that last over, come on South Africa, give us a couple before lunch.
