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

SCJ Broad	20	6	44	2	2.20

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
49.6 that’s it! Gone! England have won a remarkable victory, Swann has five as Steyn is struck bang in front! 133/10

27 – Carol,

I have my mother here she is 82 and said just that. Said to tell GBS to put cloves on that tooth. Must be a old remedy but it probably works if she also thinks so.
32

superBul on 26 December 2009 at 11:07 am

We better break the shackles, somehow we must bat more positive. At the moment we are sitting ducks. We must set a low target , say 220 and start batting. No use waiting for the next new ball on 160.
33

Puma on 26 December 2009 at 11:08 am

25 – Pietman, Nah boet, Check I got in put it in with about 20min to spare. Can put in the last pick at the halfway stage.
34

Puma on 26 December 2009 at 11:13 am

32 – Super, Maybe not boet. Think if we can bat another 5 overs without losing a wicket we will be fine. It changes there after about 12pm when the humidity lifts at mid-day. Well it never goes but goes down from about 85% humidity to about 65% then batting will be much easier, bowling will become more difficult. We just need to not lose anymore wickets and just vasbyt this next 45min and we will be fine. HOPING 😀

superBul on 26 December 2009 at 11:15 am

Not reading the whole article sometimes the summary or punch line make you think. Look at this one-

How many unwanted gifts did you get under the Christmas tree? If you’re Australian, the number is likely to be more than one.

Now before i reveal what the article said , take a guess
36

carol on 26 December 2009 at 11:15 am

31 – Puma, the cloves probably taste so vile it takes your mind off the pain!

Know your Mum had some health issues so it is good she is able to be with at Christmas (watching the cricket) !! Hahahahha
37

carol on 26 December 2009 at 11:16 am

35 – superBul, is it a lateral thinking excercise?
38

Pietman on 26 December 2009 at 11:19 am

Puma/Carol
Cloves will do the trick for a while, but they must be fresh and juicy cloves.

Ok, back later, beer is getting warm outside and the fire is almost ready, some lobster and gallion that need to be prepared for starters.

Sydney – How many unwanted gifts did you get under the Christmas tree? If you’re Australian, the number is likely to be more than one, amounting to a nationwide total of 20 million “useless” presents, according to a survey.

The survey, commissioned by online marketplace eBay, found that although Australians spent A$8.5bn buying gifts this Christmas, at least A$1bn worth of these presents will either be left to gather dust in a cupboard, binned, regifted, exchanged or sold.

Examples of unwanted gifts ranged from underwear, socks, bath products and inappropriately sexual items to a tandoori spice rub for chicken given to a vegetarian and a dog bowl for a dogless recipient, a brick and cellulite cream, an eBay statement said.

The eBay survey of more than 1 200 people also found that more women than men received unwanted gifts this year, while youth aged between 18 and 24 years got the most unwanted presents, which they were likely to throw out or hide away.

An earlier survey showed that more than 825 000 gifts will go straight into the garbage bin in Australia this Christmas because their recipients just hated them.

I want a gift nobody else wants for Christmas….. a dentist Appointment, today…..
41

carol on 26 December 2009 at 11:31 am

39 superBul what do you think of the ‘Farm Africa’ gifts? You can buy anything from bees and goats to now sheep and cattle as gifts for farmers in Africa, and the person who was going to get the unwanted gift just gets a little model of a sheep or goat and an explanation of what what given!

Actually one person once said to me ‘You could have just given me the money’, have to say I was a bit surprised!! 😆
42

Pietman on 26 December 2009 at 11:35 am

Sounds like there are some ‘Indian Minors’ (those noisy Durban birds are called minors if I remember correctly?) near the commentary box.
They used to wake me up at 5 am at the old Hotel Edward where we to stayed over a couple of times, hundreds of them in that little park near the hotel entrance.
43

superBul on 26 December 2009 at 11:36 am

Puma i dont want to jinx the guys but the one that bats positive there ,.. no leave it , at least we are scoring from one end. Hope your prediction comes true.
350 is good in Durbs
44

Pietman on 26 December 2009 at 11:41 am

Kallis and Smith getting on with it now, good….

Carol sorry i have never heard of that so no opinion from me.

You tell me those animals at the other side your opinion on them.
46

Treehugger on 26 December 2009 at 11:53 am

GBS ATTENTION !!!!!!!!!

Toothache cure. Put teaspoon or half teaspoon salt in cup with pinkie nail depth amount of water swirl around chuck in mouth and hold over inflamed area for as long as possible then spit out.

Will take most of the pain away within minutes. Cloves dont work. Please try it you got nothing to loose. It is the best known home remedy.
47

Puma on 26 December 2009 at 11:55 am

43 – Super, Think Kallis and GS are well in now. Batting should become easier there. Just have to hope no rain comes to spoil it. Some clouds about now but HOT.

Morning Piet.
48

Treehugger on 26 December 2009 at 11:57 am

It does something to the inflamed pulp of the root area apparantly,i know it works cause it worked for me a few years ago. Pain was so bad no one could even talkto me and i wanted to be put down like an animal, keep doing it through out the day.

oh and your mouth will feel really horrible afterwards but worth it.
49

Puma on 26 December 2009 at 11:58 am

46 – Hello Treehugs, Hope you and your family had a great day yesterday.

Well if it does not work and take the pain away, at least the salt will work as a antiseptic.

GBS give it a go.
50

Treehugger on 26 December 2009 at 11:58 am

Hi Puma weather has suddenly got cloudy up by me and the wind is howling, dont know how it will affect the cricket.
51

Puma on 26 December 2009 at 12:00 pm

38 – Piet, Now you talking. LOBSTER. Awesome love the stuff. Enjoy.
52

Puma on 26 December 2009 at 12:02 pm

50 – Treehugs, Clouds are coming up here too but still hot. Maybe with the overcast weather now coming it may not play as well with the batting like it should do after about 15 overs have gone. Okay some sun out again. We just need to keep batting well. Slow means nothing at this stage. Just not to lose any wickets.

See sun and rain for the rest of the 5 days.
53

Treehugger on 26 December 2009 at 12:03 pm

Had a lovely time thankyou and you ? and yes the salt cure works fantastically.The stronger you make the mixture the better. I found it on the internet and people were raveing about it, so tried it and voila it worked.
