Published 26 December 2009 | By grootblousmile

The South African Proteas take on England in the 2nd 5-day Test of the series of 4 Tests, after drawing the 1st Test in Centurion. This is the traditional Boxing Day Test and this year it takes place in Durban at Kingsmead. This is your match thread for discussion of the game.

South Africa 343 & 133 (50.0 ov)

England 574/9d

England won by an innings and 98 runs


South Africa 1st innings		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
GC Smith*	run out (Cook)	75	256	186	9	0	40.32
58.2 from Onions, Huge mix up between the batsmen! Smith dropped into the off side, and de Villiers, Pietersen-esque, ran down the wicket at him. Smith started to run, hesitated, turned around and Cook ran in to take the bails off, just beating Smith’s dive. 166/4
AG Prince	c Swann b Anderson	2	8	5	0	0	40.00
2.1 Anderson strikes early! Classic opening wicket, just back of a length, moved a touch away from Prince as he tried to defend off the back foot. It bounced a little more than he expected and ended up fencing, off the shoulder of the bat, to Graeme Swann at third slip. 3/1
HM Amla	lbw b Broad	2	35	22	0	0	9.09
9.4 massive blow! The fullest delivery of the match so far, and arguably of Broad’s entire tour, as Amla plants his front foot and doesn’t even ponder wasting a review on that one. HawkEye shows that that would have hit middle and leg two-thirds up, and England are on fire 10/2
JH Kallis	c Collingwood b Swann	75	197	132	7	0	56.81
55.3 got him! That has come out of nowhere, pushed across him, like so many balls before, but this time it gets the outside edge and goes, slightly gently, to Collingwood at slip! Crucial breakthrough 160/3
AB de Villiers	c †Prior b Broad	50	149	98	6	0	51.02
88.2 Broad does the trick! Full length, where all the magic happens, and swinging away a touch outside off, de Villiers goes for an expansive drive but nicks it through to Prior. England really needed that. 269/7
JP Duminy	lbw b Onions	4	9	9	0	0	44.44
60.1 gone! This time it’s dead straight, swinging back at Duminy from that good length which Onions pursues, no uncertainty from the umpire. Onions really deserves that, he has bowled well all day 170/5
MV Boucher†	lbw b Swann	39	72	50	5	0	78.00
77.1 well, well, we have a review coming up … and it’s looking good for England … Swann straightened one from round the wicket, Boucher got in a good stride, but the ball clearly struck pad before bat, and HawkEye suggests it would have hit middle two-thirds of the way up. And that’s out! 233/6
M Morkel	lbw b Swann	23	87	49	2	0	46.93
95.6 well, that you have to say was coming. Morkel was bamboozled for five deliveries, and this one finally pins him in front of off. He calls for the review, but it’s a futile gesture. That struck him on the shin, and that is curtains 285/9
PL Harris	lbw b Swann	2	15	12	0	0	16.66
91.5 We have a review, very full and Harris is sweeping rather clumsily, he misses and is rapped him on the pads. Given out but Harris calls for a review. He may think he’s hit it but replays don’t suggest that. Pitched in line, and hitting, and given out 280/8
DW Steyn	c †Prior b Anderson	47	66	58	3	3	81.03
108.3 there it is, the end comes at last, and sadly for Steyn he falls short of his half-century. A short delivery, just straight enough to demand a stroke, and Prior behind the stumps gathers a regulation nick 343/10

G Onions	23	6	62	1	2.69
60.1 to Duminy, gone! This time it’s dead straight, swinging back at Duminy from that good length which Onions pursues, no uncertainty from the umpire. Onions really deserves that, he has bowled well all day 170/5
SCJ Broad	20	6	44	2	2.20
9.4 to Amla, massive blow! The fullest delivery of the match so far, and arguably of Broad’s entire tour, as Amla plants his front foot and doesn’t even ponder wasting a review on that one.

England 1st innings		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
AJ Strauss*	b Morkel	54	80	67	9	0	80.59
18.4 that’s done him this time! The round-the-wicket line, a hint of movement, climbing through the gate and taking out middle stump. No need to review that! 71/1
AN Cook	c Kallis b Morkel	118	401	263	11	0	44.86
92.4 got him this time! Morkel continuing around off stump and Cook finally has a nibble at one, catches the outside edge and goes through to Kallis, who makes no mistake. Ends a fantastic fighting innings 297/4
IJL Trott	c †Boucher b Morkel	18	39	31	2	0	58.06
27.3 massive wicket, and that will delight South Africa, because it’s the irritant Trott. Outside off, cramped for room and forced to play, extra bounce grazed the edge, and Boucher made no mistake! 104/2
KP Pietersen	lbw b Harris	31	86	52	4	0	59.61
47.3 huge wicket! Pietersen gone and Harris gets his man! Pietersen had looked edgy against Harris all morning, and he went for another expansive sweep shot here, but it was too full and crashed straight into his pad on middle and off stump. Given out, Pietersen entertained thoughts of a referral but correctly decided against it. So Kallis’s drop will not cost South Africa 155/3
PD Collingwood	c †Boucher b Duminy	91	283	215	7	0	42.32
113.5 gone! Collingwood’s long vigil has ended and he won’t make a hundred. Shorter from Duminy, but Collingwood toe-ends his cut shot and Boucher makes no mistake behind the stumps. Good reward for Duminy who has bowled quite nicely here 365/5
IR Bell	c †Boucher b Steyn	140	313	227	10	1	61.67
168.2 Bell’s gone now, and the end of the innings is nigh. Width from Steyn, swinging further away, and though he rightly chases the ball, he can only get a toe-end through to Boucher 568/9
MJ Prior†	b Duminy	60	134	81	6	1	74.07
145.5 Duminy’s persistence with a wide line outside off pays dividends at last. A bit of grip ensures an under-edge on another aggressive cut, and the ball deflects into the stumps 477/6
SCJ Broad	c Kallis b Duminy	20	65	59	1	1	33.89
163.5 on a good length, appreciable spin, a regulation edge as Broad props forward, and a looping edge to Jacques Kallis at slip. So, the breakthrough comes, and Duminy has three 536/7
GP Swann	c Prince b Steyn	22	15	14	2	1	157.14
166.6 and now he’s gone. Booming swing again, and Swann can’t get decent bat on this one. An attempted flick ends up as a leading edge, and Ashwell Prince gallops in from mid-on to scoop the chance 564/8

South Africa 2nd innings		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
AG Prince	c Bell b Swann	16	42	28	1	0	57.14
9.2 he’s done it again! Swann has made a habit of striking in his first over! Prince hangs in his crease, defending, but he’s playing for spin that isn’t there, it catches the inside edge and shoots off the pad through to silly point where Bell takes a instinctive one-handed catch 27/1
GC Smith*	lbw b Swann	22	97	56	2	0	39.28
21.1 huge appeal, huge wicket, and that’s been given! Smith asks for the review, but Swann turned that enough to clip leg stump from round the wicket, and that on-field decision will stand 50/6
HM Amla	b Swann	6	17	13	1	0	46.15
13.2 beautifully bowled! Floated up outside off stump and spinning in sharply, Amla drives a little loosely, and it bursts through the gate into off stump. Swann leaps for joy! 37/2
JH Kallis	b Broad	3	4	4	0	0	75.00
14.2 bowled him! Kallis has done an Ian Bell! Ball comes back at Kallis a fraction but it was way too close to leave and it sends off stump cartwheeling! Massive moment in this match 40/3
AB de Villiers	lbw b Broad	2	18	15	0	0	13.33
18.3 REVIEW de Villiers is given out, padding up to Broad. The replays show it clipping off stump so that can’t be overturned. OUT. Another huge wicket for England, Broad shaping it in and de Villiers shoulders arms and clips his front pad in front of off stump! 44/4
JP Duminy	b Broad	0	2	1	0	0	0.00
18.4 Gone again! Broad on fire! Another leave proves suicidal. The ball was shaping away from Duminy who, caught in two minds, correctly opts to shoulder arms, but it flicks the inside edge and cannons into off stump! 44/5
MV Boucher†	c †Prior b Broad	29	91	65	3	0	44.61
40.5 short, down the leg-side, and there’s a loud thud as the ball passes the glove. Prior takes well down the leg-side, and though the decision is not instantly given, Strauss and his cordon have little doubt. It goes to a review, and that is going to be given out! 108/8
M Morkel	lbw b Swann	15	51	40	3	0	37.50
33.5 no need for fielders there! Brilliant from Swann, fizzing a fuller, flatter delivery into the pads, and that is utterly plumb 86/7
PL Harris	c Broad b Anderson	36	57	50	5	0	72.00
48.4 the full ball does the trick, in the softest of ways. Harris was deep in his crease and ended up chipping it slowly to mid on – Broad – who takes the easiest of catches 129/9
DW Steyn	lbw b Swann	3	37	25	0	0	12.00

England have named an unchanged side from the one that clung on for a draw at Centurion, meaning reprieves for Ian Bell and Alastair Cook, and still no-one in the history of Test cricket to boast Luke as a first name.
England 1 Andrew Strauss (capt), 2 Alastair Cook, 3 Jonathan Trott, 4 Kevin Pietersen, 5 Paul Collingwood, 6 Ian Bell, 7 Matt Prior (wk), 8 Stuart Broad, 9 Graeme Swann, 10 James Anderson, 11 Graham Onions.

Toss news(no not GBS toothache) South Africa will bat first after Graeme Smith won the toss. The pitch, according to the three wise man in the middle, will suit the batsmen but with a touch of dampness and humidity it may do a little early on.

superBul on 26 December 2009 at 10:02 am

The sides have agreed to use the floodlights if and when the bad light draws in towards the end of the day. An enlightened decision, I’m sure you’ll agree.

Morning Super, Damn they said it was going to be difficult out there this morning for batting. Just hope we can now stand firm for a about the next 10 overs or so. Otherwise they get us out cheap by the time they come in that pitch going to be a real good batting wicket. We will then probably struggle to get them out. So GS needs and the other batsmen need to bat really well today. Bide their time for the next 10 or so overs.
8

Puma on 26 December 2009 at 10:14 am

Already we one wicket down.
9

superBul on 26 December 2009 at 10:15 am

Puma i would have bowled, but i am not SA captain, ne. One down already.
10

Puma on 26 December 2009 at 10:16 am

Think Amla should open with GS and let Prince bat a bit down the order. Maybe at 5. He is a very good batsman and think somehow we are wasting him to open.

Amla for me is looks better suited to open. My feeling.
11

Puma on 26 December 2009 at 10:18 am

9 – Super,

Ja, just heard them speaking for the start that it was going to be very difficult to face any bowlers on that pitch. So we need to vaybyt and hold our heads for the next 10 or maybe 15 overs and then we will be well in. Think it will then turn in our favour and be better for batting.

Very humid here today and hot. The longer we keep them out there in that humidity it will take the toll on their batsmen. We need to bat smart now.
12

Puma on 26 December 2009 at 10:19 am

meant vasbyt.
13

Puma on 26 December 2009 at 10:32 am

Super, I would have started with De Wet today too and dropped Ntini. Why drop a bowler that almost won us the last test? Ntini has served SA well for many years. He is just not doing it anymore. Too slow now. Otherwise if De Wet was not a option, then they should have definitely played Parnell instead of Ntini, he gets plenty swing too.
14

superBul on 26 December 2009 at 10:41 am

13
The critics say that we are racist if we want to drop Ntini.
Pure on merit there is no place for Ntini, he is not fearsome anymore, he has become a very good stock bowler. Yes with so much talent around in the fast category he is in there to please some and there for sentimental purposes.

Hope he shows me wrong and take 10 wickets, at least then h bowled good for the team and the humble pie would taste delicious.

16

Puma on 26 December 2009 at 10:47 am

There goes Amla too. So much for me saying he should open. Though I will stick to that. Very tough for batting out there at the moment.

Need to just bat very well no fancy stuff and get through another 6 overs or so and it will start to become better for batting.

15 – GBS…. CONDENSED MILK.

Now what I tell you? You suffering with pain because that is your cause boeta. It sticks to your teeth and erodes the enamel that leads to tooth decay and also bad gums. LISTEN sugar ROTS THE TEETH. NO MORE condensed milk.

Try putting some strong whiskey to that tooth it may help. If it does not at least you will feel HAPPY…HEHEHE.

GBS, Last year this time I had terrible toothache. Found a dentist here in Umhlanga on Christmas Eve and he made it worse. Only got it done proper when I went back to Joburg mid January last year. So I sympathize with you and that pain. Toothache is horrible.

COME ON ENGLAND…..

How are we looking out there in South Africa?

GBS, toothache….on Boxing Day!! (Puma and I will not mention condensed milk at this point)! Poor you, you chance of finding a dentist is ZERO!!

Morning superBul and Puma, hope you and yours enjoyed your Christmas Day. I am taking my first cup of tea in my P.J’s….love the chance to be lazy and not feel guilty!! 🙂

GBS, kry naeltjies (cloves) en byt dit was onder daai tand, dit sal die pyn verdoof, saam met n dop skoon KWV, vir tyd en wyl.
Ek het n maand gelede so gesukkel hier, met n fraktuur in die kiestand.

Blikskottel, krieket lyk maar droewig.

Puma, you forgot your Superbru pick, maybe just as well 🙁

Morning Piet
The only remedies I know for toothache involve cloves and whiskey, both in abundant supply at Christmas!!

Morning Carol, Hope you had a great day yesterday. Ours was superb.

Yip England playing well at the moment. The if our batsmen stay in for another few overs it will all change there. Always like that there first 15 overs tought to bat in then it becomes far better for the batters than the bowlers.

Very humid here today. See some of the Brits putting some ice packs on them…….hehehe. Some clouds about so hope it does not rain. Still very hot at the moment.
