Australia and the South African Proteas do battle in the 2nd Test of the Series in Australia at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide.

The game takes place mostly in the middle of the night for South Africans, so live updates will not be given accross the board, but updates will be done in the mornings.

On a belter pitch, Australia won the toss and elected to bat first. After a massive start by Australia with the bat on Day 1, hitting close to 500 runs, South Africa was always going to be on the back foot. A super fight back followed by South Africa and on Day 5 of the Test South Africa’s Faf du Plessis and AB de Villiers still had a mountain to climb to save the match with South Africa on 77 / 4, still 355 runs short and only 6 wickets in hand. Each batsman pitched in, dug deep, and Faf du Plessis (playing in his maiden Test) held out right until the end, seeing 4 wickets fall around him.

The match ended in a draw, well saved by South Africa.

 

 

Australia: 550 All Out & 267 / 8 Declared (70 overs)

South Africa: 388 All Out & 248 / 8 (148 overs)

    Laat ek weer raas:

    Komaan Morne, tyd om toe te slaan, wakker word !

  • 62

    MOrne Slaan toe

  • 63

    @ bdb:

    Hehehehe hy het ons gehoor 😆

  • 64

    61: hehe, die raas help, Morne vir Siddle, edge.

    Nou vir Hussey !

    Komaan Morne, jy kan baie beter as dit, slaan weer toe !

  • 65

    Nog een paaltjie en ons is terug, met n klein kans

  • 66

    63: ja, nou moet Steyn vir Clarke boul, dan eers is ons werklik terug in die game. Hier is nou waar die manne van die seuns geskei gaan word, of Clarke/Hussey gaan die game heeltemal van ons wegvat, of Morne/Dale gaan die game draai om ons ‘n kans te gee.

  • 67

    Aussies 273 voor, ons veg mooi terug, maar is nog diep in die moeilikheid. Kort nog ‘n wonderwerk om te wen hier.

    Clarke/Hussey is die groot verskil, kry hul vroeg uit, game on, as hul nog ‘n 100 bykry sonder om paaltjie te verloor, dan is dit tickets vir ons.

    Ten minste veg die ouens terug.

  • 68

    Bidi, we need one of hussey or Clarke very quickly 2morrow, then it’s their tail, also their 1 bowler(Pattinson) is injured so cannot bowl and probably wont bat,

  • 69

    68: yes, sien vanmiddag vir die …… Lambie Show ! 😉

  • 70

    Going to be incredibly hard to try survive this one even if the wicket was flat, question is will they manage to stick it out for a good long time or will it be a procession of wickets in the first session of the day and maybe all over by lunch? Come on Proteas show some guts, no silly shots etc.

  • 81

    Looks like there area a few showers around the Adelaide area but they moving quite quickly, maybe SA batsmen could get a little help from these at first but the Aussie Bureau of Met mentions isolated showers in the Adelaide area and even some thunderstorms, but these getting less likely into afternoon, our luck they will probably all miss the Adelaide Oval.

  • 82

    Think nothing will save us today, Australia always play (in all sport) at their best when they take on the best.
    Thats why they always annoys the AB,s when the AB,s go for the World record.
    Thats why they perform beyond themself when they take on the no. 1 bowler, Steyn.
    SA is ranked 1 in Cricket.

    But i can see also that Australia is benefiting from the inside man, how could SA allow Micky Arthur to go when he was clearly coaching SA well?

  • 83

    Hou Manne Hou!!!

  • 84

    Skitterend Proteas, hierdie draw is soos ‘n oorwinning. AB, Kallis en veral Faf, ysters !

  • 85

    AWESOME Proteas! Almost felt like we won this test…haha. Getting a draw here is just brilliant.

    Faf and Kallis superb.

    All to play for now in Perth. Going to be a exciting finish now.

    Bring it on!

  • 86

  • 87

    82 @ superBul:

  • 88

    86 @ Stormersboy:
    Going to be a exciting finish. Never gave us a chance for a draw here, we done it, feels just awesome to hold the Aussies to a draw.

    Bring it on in Perth! 🙂

  • 89

    @ Puma:
    Yes, great start to the week!

    We have some decisions to make for the final test.

    Rudolph?
    Tahir?
    Kleinveldt?

    Kallis probably won’t bowl.
