255/7 now
jfk
is the site as slow at your side
or
is it my pc?
90@ Ashley:Both matches have thrown some very strange curve balls, I think it’s a sign of two not very confident sides, although I do feel that the articokes are the better of the two, and another goes as I am writing – Siddle bowled Tahir
255/8
92@ Ashley:This site is always slow on my side, much slower than any other site, I don’t know why.
Very good comeback by Tahir, double wicket maiden
Apparently he was going for 5’s this morning
92@ Ashley:I don’t think it’s your PC, although I don’t want to speak too loudly, GBS might hear and throw a blue canary – I mentioned something about it before, and saw the smoke from here, so I have lived with it since then!
Score level, who’d have thought that, an hour ago that they would have lost 8 wickets by this stage
Drinks
jfk @ 98
jaaaaa boet
you never know with the blue hooliga …. i mean blue bull supporters nê? 😀
Aus 282/8, lead by 16 – no wickets for at least an over, it’s getting a bit boring!
101@ Ashley:Yup, The Good Lord gave them to us, ’cause no other buggers would have them!
Brilliaaaaaaant catch Boucher – Cummins cght Bougher off Steyn for 2
Sorry, got caught up in all the excitement, meant Boucher. Great take diving forward in front of 1st slip
285/9
Well, well, well… I left for Midrand and 1 wicket had just fallen… now the Aussies are 9 down and with not much of a lead.
If there had only been a 2nd slip
@ grootblousmile:Been dead boring – in between overs!
Nice Johnson, expose Lyon after the 1st ball of Steyns over
…and then Steyn drifts down leg
109 @ Just For Kicks:
We’ve got rain threatening here in the “Wille Ooste”… with rumbles and lightning… wonder how well the light will hold out at Wanderers.
Sub drops it, he’s not going to be having a beer with the boys tonight!
Arghhhh dammit… dropped catch
@ grootblousmile:Can see the clouds rolling in over Wanderers – they look threatening!
Better disconnect my ADSL and move over to 3G… because of the lightning, just started raining too
Smith is not on form today
No.3 from Tahir, last one goes, Lyon out LBW
Aus 296 all out. Lead by 30
Aussies all out for 296, a lead of 30.
