8.6 to Vijay, 139.5 kph, Clatter! Vijay shoulders arms and hears the death knell. It landed outside off stump, hit the seam and cut in. Vijay lifted his bat in the air and allowed it to pass him but a nasty little surprise awaited him. The ball moved in off the seam to take out the off stump. Crash! Thanks for coming Steyen sticks out his tongue as he reaches the rest of his team-mates. Was it an intended outswinger that hit the seam and came in? Or was it cos of something else . we might never know. 40/214.1 to Tendulkar, 142.2 kph, Got him! Steyn rulez. It came in the air, landed on a length, around the middle and off stump line and curved away. Tendulkar stuttered out to drive, the length drawing him forward, and he was then done in by the away movement. He did push his bat slightly outside the line, trying to cover for the away swing but the ball moved fractionally more and kissed the outer edge. Fabulous delivery. Tendulkar’s forward movement wasn’t as smooth; he stuttered out… 56/3
58.1 to Badrinath, 135.2 kph, Steyn takes out Badrinath. South Africa climb all over India. It was a length delivery on the middle and leg,tailing in with the shiny side, flicked straight to short midwicket. Soft dismissal but that’s that. SA take great control over the game. 221/6
58.4 to Saha, 140.7 kph, Saha does a Vijay, if you can call it that. He shoulders arms and has lost his off stump on debut. It cut in from outside off stump, Saha lets it go but it isn’t going anywhere but towards the off stump. Clatter! Bye bye! 222/7
60.3 to Khan, 141.8 kph, Steyn continues to rock on in style. Five-for. It landed short of length, cut in to collide with the inside edge and fell on to the stumps. Zaheer was looking to force it away but ended up pushing an angled bat at it. Gone! 226/8
62.2 to Mishra, 143.9 kph, Cleaned up! Steyn lets out a roar of joy! Another tailing in with the shiny side, from just outside off stump, Mishra thinks he is GR Viswanath and goes for a late cut and edges it on to his stumps! What a dramatic final session this has been, Immense fun. 228/9
64.4 to Harbhajan Singh, Stand up and applaud Steyn. Seven wickets for him and he rushes to get the ball to keep as a souvenir. Full, moving in late with the shiny side, it moves past the defensive prod, to hit the back pad. Dead plumb! 233/10 |

5.1 to Gambhir, 145.2 kph, ho ho ho what a jaffa right up, of all the deliveries at all the times Morkel bowls this one first ball of the morning! angling in, just back of a length, pitches off, holding its line enough, Gambhir is committed into the stroke but ends up playing inside the line, getting a faint edge 31/1 |
South Africa 558/6d
India 47/2 (10.3 ov)
India trail by 511 runs with 8 wickets remaining in the 1st innings
Steyn to Tendulkar, OUT, 142.1 kph, Got him! Steyn rulez. It came in the air, landed on a length, around the middle and off stump line and curved away. Tendulkar stuttered out to drive, the length drawing him forward, and he was then done in by the away movement. He did push his bat slightly outside the line, trying to cover for the away swing but the ball moved fractionally more and kissed the outer edge. Fab delivery. Tendulkar’s forward movement wasn’t as smooth; he stuttered out…
Very good start by SA, i will go to work soon, but seeing the progress so far it looks bright and sunny. Like the warm Hoedspruit sun i have to face next.
YES!!! See we are 87/3
Need to take Sehwag.
India now 119/3…..we need to get Sehwag out!!!!!
Yippeeeeeeeeeeeee – nog net 4 slapies dan begin die RUGBY!!!!!!!!!!
Morning Tripps,
We have to take Sehwag soon.
YEAH!! S14 starts this Friday.
How you Puma? You probably can’t wait for the weekend!!! How is the Cricket going?
8 – Irish, very well mate, and you?
We doing well in the cricket got a huge score yesterday and now just need to take some wickets. We took 3 this morning but since has dried up. India 144/3 so far. Need to take Sehwag otherwise don’t see us bowling them out twice to win it. Although this only day 3.
hi there you two….hmmmmm they need to get Sehwag ASAP or at least bowl out the others so that he does net get a chance to cause too much damage!!!!
I actually cant believe that the s14 is here again, I cannot wait!!!
Puma@9 – Glad to hear that mate! Think Ireland are going to struggle against France!!! Actually the nerves before the match. We are only as good as the last game and if we can’t produce this year it distracts from the previous good we have done. Will pop in and out today as I’m busy with Contracts.
Irish, See you doing well on Superbru. 2nd and 4th spot on the two pools you playing.
Tripps, Yip need to take Sehwag soon. If we don’t bowl most of them out by tonight think this will be a draw.
Hey Tripeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Bulls against Lions – is a difficult one to call. Do I go home ground advantage in first rounds or how do I predict?
hahaha, tripples, thats how you steel the thunder on a cricket chat… wonder if the players feel the same.
And I wonder if Rassie and Muir knows this as the squads for neither team is on their websites yet!!!!!!!!!! WTF
Anyway, back to cricket. Can anyone give me a update? Amla was freaking great. I sense we may see a follow-on.
Oops I meant Cheetahs
Do I go Lions against Stormers as Lions have home ground advantage.
11 – Irish, Think Ireland will win against France. France for me anyway never looked that great against Scotland as Scotland were poor.
Good luck to Ireland anyhows will have them for a win on my bru pools.
Where do I get team sheets. Want to predict for S14 today.
I popped in to get SEhWAG.
16 – Irish, Lions are normally quite good at home being it altitude too. Then Stormers are playing some good rugby. I would go for Stormers mate. Then if Lions win you can blame me 😀
Stormers have a much classer team. Sometimes that means nothing though.
19 – Super ….hahahah 😆
He is looking good though. We have to take him soon.
Puma@17 – France at home are very dangerous mate. You never know which frogs team arrives.
O-dear, just got the score. Sehwag on 71. 100 partnership between Sehwag and Badrinath. India on 157… looks like my prediction of a follow on might be pre-mature.
Super – Which Wag?
Irish devil you will have to wait until Wednesday to get all the teams and with Rassie you might wait till Thursday, ok he is DOR now. Also DM likes to announce his teams late and then change them at kickoff.
Puma so:’
Stormers to win
Bulls to win
Sharks to ????????
Irish, pick the Stormers mate. Record, team sheets and pre-season form will tell you Stormers should take it. Home ground will only soften the blow…
SuperBul@25. Give some pointers mate. I’m new to this prediction thing.
26 – Irish, I feel for a win, Stormers, Bulls and Sharks.
Irish, Sharks to lose me thinks. Sad but possibly true.
The Chiefs backline could run circles around the Sharks. In this game the HG could count for something, but jeese. If they pick JS at TH and Adi and Ruan is NO available, it could be a rumping.
