  South Africa 1st innings R M B 4s 6s SR
View dismissal GC Smith* c †Prior b Anderson 30 94 50 3 0 60.00
  20.1 vast strike! Superb line and length from Anderson, and subtle late swing. Smith props forward, takes the edge and Prior completes the catch with a tumble diving in front of first slip 51/3
View dismissal AG Prince c †Prior b Anderson 0 2 3 0 0 0.00
  0.4 brilliant from Anderson, and that was coming. Perfect line and length, good carry off the pitch and hooping outswing, Prince flinches his gloves at the ball, and Prior does the rest. 1/1
View dismissal HM Amla lbw b Onions 14 75 56 2 0 25.00
  16.4 fuller this time and struck bang in front! Shaping in a tad but Amla had planted his front foot, and played all round this, and there is no doubt 46/2
View dismissal JH Kallis c †Prior b Onions 108 266 189 11 0 57.14
  83.4 what a wonderful delivery, and that is Kallis done and dusted! The ball pitched on off, zipped half-a-bat’s width, took the edge, and fizzed through to the keeper! Fantastic line and control of the seam from Onions, and the perfect start for England 280/7
View dismissal AB de Villiers c Strauss b Swann 36 84 60 4 0 60.00
  41.1 gone this time! Swann from round the wicket and de Villiers will kick himself, chipped to short midwicket. Soft dismissal just as South Africa were really making England sweat. Swann continues to cause trouble but he would concede he was lucky here. 127/4
View dismissal JP Duminy c †Prior b Swann 0 1 1 0 0 0.00
  41.2 Swann strikes again! Sharply spinning delivery from round the wicket, catches Duminy’s outside edge and Prior eagerly snaps it up. Second first-baller in a row for Duminy. Top delivery from Swann and South Africa are in real trouble. 127/5
View dismissal MV Boucher lbw b Broad 51 98 86 7 0 59.30
  66.4 that’s the breakthrough, or is it? It’s review time … Boucher has been struck on the back pad by one that zipped off the seam, and it’s going to be upheld by the third umpire. HawkEye shows that was going to hit the top of middle, and that’s a fine piece of bowling. 216/6
View dismissal DW Steyn c Trott b Anderson 26 68 59 3 0 44.06
  84.1 what a morning for England! In the corridor outside off, Steyn pokes uneasily, gets a fat edge and Jonathan Trott at third slip dives across to snaffle the chance 280/8
View dismissal M Morkel c Swann b Anderson 0 8 3 0 0 0.00
  84.4 incredible! It’s catching practice this morning. Anderson finds the perfect length and extra bounce outside off, Morkel hangs out his bat, and Swann atones for his bad miss on the first morning with a fine low scoop, diving to his left at second slip! 281/9

View dismissal F de Wet lbw b Anderson 0 11 4 0 0 0.00
  86.1 we’ve got a review coming up. A good delivery zipping back into the pads, the umpire gives it out, but South Africa immediately ask for a second opinion. Some question about whether he was struck outside the line, but that stands 291/10

  0.6 gone! Morkel gets Strauss again! Outside off stump and pitched full, Strauss goes for a slightly flat-footed loose drive and South Africa strike straight away. Wickets tumbling at Newlands! 2/1
View dismissal AN Cook c Prince b Morkel 65 228 136 7 0 47.79
  50.4 huge breakthrough for South Africa! Cook paddles a short ball gently to midwicket. Bit of nothing shot, neither a full-blooded pull or a careful leg-side force. Whatever it is, South Africa won’t care, they are right in this contest. 133/5
View dismissal IJL Trott b Steyn 20 58 36 3 0 55.55
  12.4 got him! Steyn strikes! The wickets keep tumbling and Trott won’t be happy with this. Outside off stump on a good length, really should have been left alone, but he flashed at it from the crease and only succeeded in inside-edging it on to off stump 36/2
View dismissal KP Pietersen c & b Steyn 0 3 2 0 0 0.00
  12.6 another one! Pietersen gone for a duck! Fullish ball that Pietersen just chipped straight back at Steyn who gleefully snaffled the chance. Steyn is pumped, this is extraordinary. 36/3
View dismissal PD Collingwood lbw b Morkel 19 51 44 3 0 43.18
  24.3 that’s a huge wicket, pitched right up to the blockhole, and Collingwood over-balances as he attempts to drive down the ground. Hits the back leg, and there’s no point in reviewing that 73/4

View dismissal MJ Prior b Steyn 76 179 118 9 0 64.40
  87.6 short again, Prior tries to paddle to fine leg, but under-edges onto his stumps. The end of a fine counterattacking performance, and had that been anything other than the last ball of the over, he would doubtless have attempted something more aggressive to that ball 273/10
View dismissal SCJ Broad b Steyn 25 69 39 4 0 64.10

View dismissal GP Swann c Smith b Morkel 5 22 17 0 0 29.41
  82.4 awesome delivery, and that is the breakthrough. This one takes off from a good length, glances the glove, and pops easily to Graeme Smith at first slip! 241/8

  82.5 It’s two in two! Morkel has five as Anderson collects the first golden duck of his career. Angled across the left-hander, extra bounce on a good length, fenced to Smith again at first slip, and it’s utterly bonkers out there 241/9

    Hey…. ek loer julle!

    I’ve temporarily disabled our valued User Online function….. it was hogging resources and causing the freegin webhost to CPU Throttle us A-BLOODY-GAIN, slowing the website considerably… will look for an alternative User Online Plugin…. while I have a slugging match with the freegin webhost.

    Cheers Ash, Out of here now.

    Thanks for posting with me during the crici again.

    I have just posted this but nothing came up. Now hope when I post it does not come up twice again 😀

    GBS will have to sort out the posting time. Still taking about 4min to send a post.

    Cheers Ash. Enjoy the rest of your evening. Go get a beer boet, maybe it will give us some luck 😀

    This match will be a draw….. batting pitch is not assisting our limp-wristed bowlers today.

    Cheers out of here now. Cricket been frustrating to watch.

    well, as it seems likely that the barmy army will be the only ones celebrating (another f*ckin draw), heres something to lighten up the mood!!

    Famous batsmen

    A famous batsman was the big attraction when he was the guest player for the local team. Anxious to impress, the fast bowler keyed himself up to put every thing into his first ball. He ran up and hurled down a screamer which took our the off stump

    ‘No ball,’ called the umpire.

    And then, to the bowler, ‘Calm down, you idiot. They’ve come to see him bat, ‘not you bowl !’

    Hallooooooooooo voorvelletjies!!!!

  • 637

    well, this one remind me of the two currently batting:

    A charmed batsmen

    The batsman was leading a charmed life. Three appeals for l.b.w. were turned down and he’d been bowled twice only to hear a no-ball called.

    Finally, the bowler sent down a perfect ball which took two stumps out of the ground. The bowler looked at him ‘You’re not going, surely?’ he said.

    ‘There’s still one stump standing!’

    Cross-eyed bowler

    The cross-eyed bowler faced the umpire. ‘Owzat!’ he shouted.
    ‘Not out,’ said the square-leg umpire.

    The bowler turned to him. I wasn’t talking to you,’ he said.

    I never said a word,’ said third man.

    I’ll open from this end

    The village club was burdened with a big-headed skipper. Although a below average player, he considered himself the best in the side. They were up against tough opposition and as they walked out he said,

    “Right. I’ll open the bowling from the pavilion end.”

    “That’s right, skipper,” said the fast bowler. “You bowl ’em in – then I’ll come on bowl ’em out.”

    He’ll sort him out

    The batsman kept hitting the bowler to the square-leg boundary. The captain decided to take him off saying,

    ‘This other bowler knows how to sort him out.’

    The batsman duly knocked the ball for a six over the bowler’s head.

    ‘I see your idea,’ called the first bowler.

    ‘You made him change direction!’

    (maybe thats what WE need to do!!! lol)

    collingwood

    The sa bowler was up against an english batsman who never moved his bat. Every ball either hit the bat or passed harmlessly by, no stroke being offered.

    The bowler turned to the umpire. ‘Is he out if he doesn’t move his bat?’

    ‘No,’ said the umpire. ‘But he will be if he does!’ 😀

    o, and this is a true story for once
    ..
    Three ducks for Viv Richards

    Viv Richards is probably the only batsman to be out for a duck three times in a match. This incident is narrated in his own biography. Richards was a huge star in Antigua and the entire island had come to St. John’s Park to see play a Red Stripe game.

    Antigua batted first and the crowd politely applauded the openers’ efforts while waiting for one of them to make a mistake. Soon enough one did and the entire crowd exploded when their favourite son stepped out to bat.

    First ball, Richards nicked a catch to the keeper. The umpire had no difficulty in deciding and a disappointed Richards made his way slowly back to the dressing room. But he didn’t reach it. The crowd, stunned by their holiday entertainment being nipped in the bud like this, went wild and pressurized the umpire into revoking his decision.

    Reluctantly, Richards came back. Not for long, though. Soon he was dismissed again and the crowd, perhaps a little ashamed at their behaviour , let it go at that.

    Richards however, had a little more disappontment left in the game for him- the second time around he made another duck!
