The first of 4 full blown 5-day Tests between the Proteas and England at SuperSport Park, Centurion on 16 December 2009 at 10:30 SA Time. This is the match thread for the game which will have some score updates from time to time.
Test Drawn:
| South Africa 1st innings | R | M | B | 4s | 6s | SR | ||
 |
GC Smith* | c †Prior b Broad | 0 | 7 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 0.00 |
| 1.3 my goodness me, what a stunning moment for England, and what a breakthrough. Nothing much of a delivery, swinging gently down the leg side, but Smith tries to help it down to fine leg, doesn’t get enough bat on it, and Matt Prior leaps like a rampant salmon to snaffle the first wicket of the series! 1/1 | ||||||||
|
AG Prince | c Collingwood b Swann | 45 | 155 | 94 | 6 | 0 | 47.87 |
| 34.2 wow, he’s done it again! Swann has a penchant for early breakthroughs, and that’s a cracker. Perfect length, sharp and unexpected turn, and Paul Collingwood coolly accepts his second catch of the innings! 93/3 | ||||||||
|
HM Amla | c Collingwood b Onions | 19 | 88 | 67 | 2 | 0 | 28.35 |
| 20.5 Got him this time! Onions deserved that. Full and Amla is drawn into a firm drive but edges to Collingwood. Good low catch there going to his right 51/2 | ||||||||
|
JH Kallis | c Collingwood b Anderson | 120 | 306 | 225 | 16 | 1 | 53.33 |
| 96.6 my goodness me, it’s a breakthrough! I did not see that coming. Kallis was looking utterly serene, but Anderson found a good length with a hint of extra bounce and a fraction of away movement, and Collingwood at second slip scooped another fine low catch 283/5 | ||||||||
|
AB de Villiers | c Cook b Swann | 32 | 82 | 66 | 5 | 0 | 48.48 |
| 54.3 gone this time! Thrown up and gets the inside edge from de Villiers’s defensive stroke and goes straight to Cook at short leg. Bit of turn and extra bounce, classic offspinner’s delivery. England really needed that. 159/4 | ||||||||
|
JP Duminy | c Collingwood b Swann | 56 | 218 | 150 | 6 | 1 | 37.33 |
| 108.5 Swann does it again! He has a real habit of getting a wicket early in his spell. Nicely flighted, finds a little turn and Duminy, leaning forward with a slightly open face, guides it to Collingwood at slip who makes no mistake 316/6 | ||||||||
|
MV Boucher† | c Cook b Swann | 49 | 156 | 100 | 6 | 0 | 49.00 |
| 134.1 Swann does the trick again. Regulation offspinners wicket. Pitched outside off stump, spun back sharply, caught the inside edge, and it went straight to Cook, who snaffles it gleefully. Unlucky for Boucher to fall one run short of 50 and England continue to stay just in reach of South Africa 377/8 | ||||||||
|
M Morkel | c †Prior b Onions | 13 | 53 | 48 | 2 | 0 | 27.08 |
| 121.5 he’s gone this time! Still feeling the effects of that blow, perhaps, as that was a bit of a flat-footed waft, and a thin low snick to the keeper, who gathers well 341/7 | ||||||||
|
PL Harris | b Onions | 38 | 117 | 89 | 4 | 0 | 42.69 |
| 150.5 oh, and that is out. Floated up outside off stump, Harris wafted, stood firmly in his crease, and inside edged in on to the base of the stumps. 414/9 | ||||||||
|
F de Wet | lbw b Swann | 20 | 78 | 67 | 3 | 0 | 29.85 |
| 153.2 review. Gets well back and is struck plumb in front. de Wet calls for a review, since South Africa have one in the bank, but third umpire confirms the decision. Swann has five, the third time he’s managed that in his career. 418/10 | ||||||||
| M Ntini | not out | 4 | 9 | 7 | 1 | 0 | 57.14 | |
| Extras | (b 2, lb 15, w 5) | 22 | ||||||

| England 1st innings | R | M | B | 4s | 6s | SR | ||
|
AJ Strauss* | b Ntini | 46 | 138 | 87 | 6 | 0 | 52.87 |
| 28.6 got him! Excellent length again, and this time it keeps low once more. Strauss was in position but the ball skimmed through at shin height, and demolished the off stump! 98/2 | ||||||||
|
AN Cook | c †Boucher b de Wet | 15 | 26 | 17 | 3 | 0 | 88.23 |
| 5.4 there it is! Friedel de Wet has his maiden Test wicket, as Cook pushes at an off-stump delivery, and feathers the thinnest of edges through to Boucher 25/1 | ||||||||
|
IJL Trott | b Harris | 28 | 170 | 117 | 3 | 0 | 23.93 |
| 41.5 oh dear. Trott runs down at Harris and swipes wildly, beaten on the inside edge, looking for turn that wasn’t there. 119/3 | ||||||||
|
KP Pietersen | b Morkel | 40 | 113 | 79 | 3 | 1 | 50.63 |
| 54.5 that’s the breakthrough, and it’s a huge scalp! Back on that probing length from Morkel, and just a hint of nip off the seam. Pietersen couldn’t resist any longer, climbed into an expansive drive, and inside-edged onto his off stump! 168/4 | ||||||||
|
PD Collingwood | c Kallis b Harris | 50 | 133 | 88 | 5 | 1 | 56.81 |
| 71.6 lovely bowling defeats Collingwood! Flighted, it gripped and actually spun, enough to get the outside edge of Collingwood’s defensive shot and it went low to Kallis who makes no mistake 221/7 | ||||||||
|
IR Bell | b Harris | 5 | 23 | 16 | 0 | 0 | 31.25 |
| 59.5 oh my goodness me, that is hideous! Shades of Adam Hollioake in 1997 as Bell shoulders arms to a straight delivery, and has all three stumps demolished! 189/5 | ||||||||
|
MJ Prior† | c de Wet b Harris | 4 | 44 | 34 | 0 | 0 | 11.76 |
| 69.6 oh dear oh dear. Prior goes for an expansive sweep, and Harris finds some extra bounce, it catches the top edge and loops down to de Wet, the only man deep on the leg side, at fine leg. England in all sorts of trouble here and Harris has been the destroyer. 211/6 | ||||||||
|
SCJ Broad | lbw b Duminy | 17 | 34 | 34 | 2 | 0 | 50.00 |
| 78.5 oh close lbw appeal. Good length ball beat the bat and rapped Broad on the pads. Finally they ask for a review and it looks very close on replay, and he’s given. 242/8 | ||||||||
|
GP Swann | c Smith b Harris | 85 | 139 | 81 | 10 | 2 | 104.93 |
| 103.6 Ah, it’s all over now. Swann attempts a big sweep but picks out deep square leg to give Harris a well-deserved fifth wicket. Swann shakes Harris’s hand, in a gesture of finger-spinning solidarity. 356/10 | ||||||||
|
JM Anderson | c Morkel b Ntini | 29 | 104 | 78 | 4 | 1 | 37.17 |
| 102.1 well, what’s happened here? Anderson miscued an attempted forcing shot off the back foot, and it’s looped to cover. For some reason there is a referral, but the ball carried easily to a diving Morkel. Anderson can go and rest his hand now, but that has been a remarkable partnership. 348/9 | ||||||||

| South Africa 2nd innings | R | M | B | 4s | 6s | SR | ||
|
AG Prince | b Anderson | 0 | 4 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0.00 |
| 0.6 gone! Fullish on off stump, shaping back at Prince, and it catches the inside edge on to off stump. Great start for England 2/1 | ||||||||
|
GC Smith* | b Onions | 12 | 53 | 36 | 1 | 0 | 33.33 |
| 11.2 that is a severely important wicket for England, and once again, it’s that low bounce that does the trick. Onions uses the over-the-wicket line to drag Smith forward, but the ball doesn’t get up, and burrows into his middle-and-off stumps via a thin inside-edge! 34/3 | ||||||||
|
PL Harris | b Anderson | 11 | 26 | 17 | 2 | 0 | 64.70 |
| 6.5 got him! Not sure how because that was angling safely down the leg side, but his leg stump has been knocked back. In fact, it’s clipped the underside of his thighpad, and deflected improbably back into his wicket. 20/2 | ||||||||
|
HM Amla | b Anderson | 100 | 315 | 213 | 10 | 0 | 46.94 |
| 81.5 there’s the shooter! And that will not please Andrew Strauss in the slightest, given that he – in all likelihood – will have to bat before the day is done. There’s no way to combat that, as the off stump is demolished at bootlace height. The hard new ball hits a crack, skids through, and a fine innings is over 266/7 | ||||||||
|
JH Kallis | c Cook b Broad | 4 | 45 | 32 | 0 | 0 | 12.50 |
| 21.3 big moment in this game! Broad digs one in, Kallis rocks back and tries to break the shackles with an expansive pull shot, but it comes off the top edge and flies down to Alastair Cook at deep square-leg, who takes a well judged catch. 46/4 | ||||||||
|
AB de Villiers | c Bell b Broad | 64 | 136 | 101 | 6 | 1 | 63.36 |
| 55.4 and that’s gone! Broad was probing away, trying to contrive something, and a fullish delivery stops on the wicket a touch, and de Villiers drives a fraction in the air, where Bell takes an excellent diving catch at short extra cover. 165/5 | ||||||||
|
JP Duminy | lbw b Anderson | 11 | 33 | 27 | 2 | 0 | 40.74 |
| 63.5 big appeal, given out, and it’s gone to review. Swinging back a fraction into Duminy and strikes him in front, it looks very close. Replays show it clipping the top of the stumps. Duminy thought he could have inside-edged it, but there is no clear evidence to suggest he did. Third umpire rules in favour of England, and Duminy has gone. 191/6 | ||||||||

|
AJ Strauss* | c †Boucher b Morkel | 1 | 5 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 33.33 |
| 1.2 got him! Huge wicket for South Africa and a massive moment in this Test. Morkel from around the wicket, lands one just back of a length, and it leaves Strauss slightly, catching a faint edge on the way through an ecstatic Boucher. 5/1 | ||||||||
|
AN Cook | c Smith b Harris | 12 | 78 | 56 | 1 | 0 | 21.42 |
| 18.2 there’s the breakthrough! Cook tries to get outside off and work the ball to leg, but there’s a bit of turn to take the glove, lob off the pad flap, and into the stretching right hand of Graeme Smith at leg slip! 27/3 | ||||||||
|
JM Anderson | c †Boucher b de Wet | 10 | 28 | 23 | 2 | 0 | 43.47 |
| 8.1 de Wet strikes! A short ball, outside leg stump, seemingly innocuous. But it climbs into the glove as Anderson attempts a leg-glance, and Boucher claims a simple strangle! 16/2 | ||||||||
|
IJL Trott | c de Villiers b de Wet | 69 | 316 | 212 | 7 | 0 | 32.54 |
| 81.4 stunner! Great catch from AB de Villiers, a shortish ball leapt off a length and flew off the shoulder of Trott’s bat to third slip, where de Villiers dived back and to his left, to claim a brilliant one-handed catch. 205/5 | ||||||||
|
KP Pietersen | run out (de Wet) | 81 | 191 | 143 | 11 | 0 | 56.64 |
| 61.5 from de Wet, that is an extraordinary misjudgment from Pietersen! A tap into the covers, a head-down sprint to the other end, and Trott just stands there in bemusement. He never took so much as a step out of his crease! 172/4 | ||||||||

|
IR Bell | c †Boucher b de Wet | 2 | 17 | 10 | 0 | 0 | 20.00 |

|
MJ Prior† | c †Boucher b de Wet | 0 | 12 | 9 | 0 | 0 | 0.00 |

509 – GBS, Office sounds good.
Super if you reading. How your rate De Wet? I think he is not doing too bad but we are missing D. Steyn.

Sal pataal

you wont believe it i never saw him bowl one ball , reacting on us here and cricinfo. I did watch a lot yesterday but we were batting the whole day.
513 – Super, I was just watching him now. Not bad. Still hope that Steyn is over that injury for the next test. Steyn has more aggresssion, sometimes it is good. Puts a bit of fear into the batsman.

i saw yesterday how fast Steyn got to his 170 test wickets, hope he stays fit he is really good.
516 – Super, Steyn is one of our very best. Not even the great AD done that so quick.
515
ja ek dink dis beter so
Good, Cook out for 12…… it is really going well.
How is this. All 13 players on the field are South African!!!!!! HEHEHE.
Come now Harris bowl out those Saffa Poms.. 😆
Somebody said yesterday that Harris was born in Zimbabwe , so there is 3 not from SA , the umps and Harry
Jonas Trit struggles along, 3 from 36 balls, must make it easier for GS, to contain them is now not a issue.
521 – Super, Sorry never knew that he was from Zim. Then 12 players on the field are Saffas. Don’t count the umpire just the players.
When did Harris come to live in SA? Remember Strauss too was born in SA but left here when he was 6 or 7 years old. That is forgiven. Leaving here after you are 20 to play for another country then I have no mercy…. 😀
522 – Super, Think they going to play it safe there. They waiting for the rain to come too. Pity we need a whole day today to bowl them out.
Maybe we declared too late last night. I was even saying only declare with 5 overs to go. Was wrong. Probably should have declared with about 15 overs left. They were exhausted then, we just may have had 2 or 3 out last night.
Probably end in a draw.
Hope we have better weather in Durban for that test, somehow doubt it. We are getting so much rain this year.
Full name Paul Lee Harris
Born November 2, 1978, Salisbury (now Harare), Rhodesia
Current age 31 years 48 days
Major teams South Africa, Northerns, Titans, Warwickshire, Western Province
Batting style Right-hand bat
Bowling style Slow left-arm orthodox
Windies played well against AUS, i hoped they could win, yesterday afternoon was disastrous for them.
525 – Super, When did you come to live here though?
I think today Parnell too would have done well in these conditions. Think the next test we need to select him. If Steyn is over that injury. Then of course he will come back in De Wets place but still would like to include Parnell. Maybe for Ntini? Not sure.
Ag, mistate there. Not you come. When did he come. Sorry really have to check my posts before sending.
🙄 another. mistate = mistake.
526 – Super, Good to see WI playing well again. What a force they were in the 80’s
So few countries play cricket we need a strong WI side.
Howzit all….
Superbul, you still here?
I had a reply from Prof Gary (the researcher I told you about) re the diabetes and mangoes. I sent him some bio stats on you yesterday (age, weight, job, etc)
He says mangoes,litchees,kiwi fruit and the like are all a definate no-no for you, they contain very high levels of fructrose that is almost immediately converted into sucrose (glucose) with an instant rise in blood sugar levels.
So, I was wrong about that yesterday, stay away from those fruit trees!
531 – Piet, How you doing with you knee?
Ja, Mangoes, Paw-Paw and Bananas too are very high in fructrose. They are classed as a sweet fruit. Think Super has to watch most fruits except the acid ones. I know this because I have a sister-in-law and brother-in-law with diabetes.
There is also hidden sugar in cereals and it is best to eat rye bread too.
Must be hard to watch the diet all the time.
Not sure if we going to bowl these guys out. They look comfortable there and our bowling not doing much. Needed someone like Parnell there today and D. Steyn.
Puma, doing ok thx, hobbling around the seafood potjie at the moment, in and out of the tv room.
Catch you soon.
Hi Pietman, i was at a dietitian and yes i know the risks. At one stage for about a year i kept my sugar right without any medicine.
Puma i am getting fed up with Duminy, he must get his game back in shape, he is like Ruan Pienaar now, not sure what he is. He must come down to mother earth. Sorry one flash in the pan performance every once in a while not good enough.
535 – Super, Yes he needs to play like he done against Oz. He did get a 56 though in the first innings. But think he is a better batsman than that. Still pleased he got that score faced 150 balls.
Sometimes when he bowls he can surprise and take a wicket. Let us hope he can do that today.
Think in Durban we have to select Parnell though. He can vary it up. Hoping that D. Steyn is over his injury to come back too. We need some aggression out there. Trott and KP look far to comfortable out there. Don’t seem too worried about our bowlers. Excpet Harris a bit.
Think maybe we declared too late last night. Then I thought maybe we should have declared with 5 overs left. I was wrong. Maybe should have put them in with 15 overs left or even 20 last night. They may have come out more positive to bat. We could have had taken more wickets I think by now.
Morning Boys, sitting in snowy sussex at a friends house…..with their little boy, Guy who is a huge cricket fan…..looking at yesterdays results!!!! The central heating has broken and it is freeeezzzingggg……..
Wish we had some Pretoria sun!!!
Hi Puma…..Bit cheeky,I should log off or I will get my leg pulled,,,,Have a great day all…Till later
537 – Hello Carol, Was wondering where you were? Our resident Brit 😆
You been busy?
Yip, I am being a bit cheeky 😆 Carol we have rain here but the humid weather is full on.
You need to get that central heating fixed quick. You will freeze in that weather. Seen some of it on Sky News.
