Tough one for the 3rd umpire, but given out
Tsotsobe pulling it back nicely, just as Ponting was threatening to get away
Morkel into the attack now
Much better over, just 2 runs from it
Another great over, just 1 off it
Another wicket, caught at slip by Smith off Morkel. Clarke goes
Wicket maiden by Morkel, these 2 really pegged back the runs in the last few overs
3rd umpire again for a catch behind by Boucher off Tsotsobe. Miles away from bat – off pad down leg
2 runs from Tsotsobe over
Hi i am back, had to go to kids around the corner
Morkel full and wide, present for Hussey, dispatched to the boundary
Last 5 ovs 10/2 RR 2.0
A few tight overs, and a couple of wickets, SA in the game here
Amla’s having an absolute Mare today
Amla is struggling with the captaincy job
Must be a blind spot on the offside there, thats 2 that have got through
If Morkel could just get rid of that 1 loose ball per over…
@ Just For Kicks:
Proteas have not played a lot lately , wonder why our team was given so much time off. We could have played 2 warmup games against Zim.
what can Botha offer?
@ superBul:Does seem a bit strange
Sorry, there go those damn smileys again, meant to be a “D”
Current partnership 15 runs, 5.4 overs, RR: 2.64 (Hussey 11, Warner 3)
I see Jaques been having an affair with his hairdresser again
Good over by Kallis, maybe the score is big enough, looks promising
The commentators rate JP as an all rounder, I think for that to happen, he has a way to go, he has the talent, certainly, but the temperament? I am not sure right now. When they worked him out a couple of years ago, he looked very vulnerable
Current partnership 19 runs, 7.5 overs, RR: 2.42 (Hussey 13, Warner 5)
We must get them before they break the shackles
@ Just For Kicks:
he looks so worried and sulking when he struggles. He always give me grey hair. But one thing he is , he is a fighter
Drinks, and time to cook supper!
