Weather doesn’t look too bad, Smith won toss and decided to bowl first, and team is same as last test
Biff won the toss and elected to field!
Pitch, according to Jackers and Polly is very green – a lot of grass cover, could be a bit of a nightmare for the early batsmen.
Morning GBS
4 @ Just For Kicks:
Morning Kickers!
Made you Author, so the first half of the day is in YOUR hands… I have to go to Midrand in about 30 minutes or so.
OK, I am in and out all day – lost a day in the vineyards due to all that rain yesterday, so have to pop out every now and then
@ grootblousmile:You’ll have to tell me how you do the scoring, as the thread doesn’t look the way you usually have it
7 @ Just For Kicks:
I’ll mail you quickly.
Steyn to open, match underway
@ grootblousmile:OK
Looks like a bit of uneven bounce, but not much to write home about yet!
Philanders 1st ball nearly smacked a couple of moles on the head as it went through it kept so low
10 @ Just For Kicks:
Mail sent
OK, think got the gist of it
‘If you go out quickly now… from editing the Article’ – I’m not in the editing page
14 @ Just For Kicks:
OK, it’s over to you, I’m alreay out of the Edit portion….
First boundary of the day to Dilshan, 8/0
15 @ Just For Kicks:
Only really need to update on events like the fall of wickets, every 10 or 15 overs (failing the fall of wickets), end of sessions, drinks….
Cool, OK, can we not be in editing mode together, if not, how will I know when you’re around to take over or not?
Wickettttttttttttt!
Sri Lanka captain GONE!!!!
And the 1st wicket falls, Dilshan with some catching practice, caught Philander, bowled Steyn for 8
19 @ Just For Kicks:
Cannot be in Edit Mode together (we can but if you save, then I do not immediately see a save and vice versa). When I want to take over, or when you have to go out for an extended period of time… just comment here, then go out of Edit Mode… I’ll do the same, like I did in Comment # 16.
Wicket No 2!
Sangakara GONE!
And another gone Sangakkara gone, caught Kallis off Philander for 1
@ grootblousmile:Do you highlight countries, colour and increase font each time you update?
@ Just For Kicks:If so, colours and font size please, I’ve killed them!
25 @ Just For Kicks:
Yip….
They’re already putting sawdust down, how does that bode for the rest of the match, I wonder?
26 @ Just For Kicks:
Ag, just leave it as is… it’s fine. When I take over later, I’ll re-introduce it.
@ grootblousmile:You sound just like my wife when I’ve just burn’t the pasta!
