South Africa and New Zealand did battle in the 1st 5-Day Test at Newlands, Cape Town at 10:30 SA Time on Wednesday 2 January 2013 and the match was supposed to run until Sunday 6 January 2013.
South Africa demolished the New Zealanders in the 1st Innings, bowling them out for a measly 45 runs in total, then went in to bat a couple of overs before Lunch on Day 1. South Africa amassed a lead of 302 runs before declaring on 347 / 8 on Day 2 of the match.
At the start of Day 3 of the match New Zealand had already lost 4 wickets, but made a gritty start to the day until eventually tumbling to an Innings and 27 run defeat three quarters through Day 3.
New Zealand: 1st Innings – 45 ALL Out (19.2 overs), 2nd Innings – 275 All Out (102.1 overs)
South Africa: 1st Innings – 347 / 8 Declared (95.2 overs)

Someone commenting about the cricket : “I just noticed that Steyn, Philander and Morkel got the same wickets (Steyn 2, Philander 5 and Morkel 3) when they got Australia all out for 47 in test # 2016, Cape Town, November 2011.” – how spooky is that
Hopefully this doesn’t put the mockers on them and bring a pile of wickets BUT looks like there is a good platform being layed now and hopefully Elgar can come in later tomorrow and add to the runs and play a confidence building innings, depending on when next wicket falls it may be good to promote him ahead of Faf to give him longer time at the crease so that he doesn’t have to try chase the game with one eye on declaration.
Peterson just six away from his hundred – SA 231/3
Looks like a bit of a damp start at Newlands tomorrow, that should help to prolong the game a little…
Peterson on 97 not out
C’mon Peterson, 1 to get boyo – filed now breathing down his neck. Presure, pressure, pressure
@ Bullscot:I see you are an Elgar fan – any reason? (I also rate him highly)
Leg byes, and Peterson has to wait a little longer
Huge congrats, Peterson, at last a ton up. Well deserved. Now a perfect opportunity to go on and make it really count
Peterson gets his hundred well done! 102 not out now SA 251/3
Well done Peterson on his hundred.
A very good day for the Proteas, they will sleep well, and hopefully come in tomorrow, and really twist the knife. Here’s hoping for a big first innings fatal. Cheers all, catch up tomorrow.
222 @ Just For Kicks:
Was a great day for our Proteas. Would like us to up the run rate a wee bit though.
Cheers JFK
217 @ Just For Kicks:
Not seen much of Elgar JFK but noticed over the last 2 or 3 seasons at least that he has been piling on the runs in domestic cricket, also did well for u19s a while ago. My longer term concern is that Kallis and Smith may not play beyond the season or two and we need good quality replacements so after Elgar’s disapointing start to his test career am hoping that he can prove his worth now that he is chosen again. I guess there is still Dumminy to come back too. Am actually more concerned about AB’s continued run at keeper and in fact yesterday was calling for de Kock to play in Elgar’s place considering the opposition so he could keep wicket instead of AB, how good id de Kock’s keeping?
Philander’s method was simple and clinical as he maintained impeccable accuracy and found just enough assistance to be persistently threatening. Martin Guptill, Dean Brownlie and BJ Watling edged to wicketkeeper or slips, New Zealand’s brusque new captain, Brendon McCullum, was bowled off an inside edge trying to cover the outswing and Kane Williamson fell lbw after his recourse to DRS proved unsuccessful.
There was nothing manifestly disturbing about Philander, no trepidation caused by express pace or even lavish movement, but conditions were lively enough and he lulled a somewhat naïve New Zealand batting line-up into error, killing with kindness, a technician takinbg advantage of indeterminate footwork. It took South Africa a long time to recognise his subtle talents and he is making up for lost time.
He returned new-ball figures of 6-3-7-5, quite a feat for a bowler who had been doubtful for this Test after tweaking a hamstring a fortnight ago and who was described by Smith, his captain, on the eve of the Test as “provisionally fit”. New Zealand will be provisionally judged to be out of their depth and the two-Test series will be provisionally held to be over.
Kallis and Steyn’s historic moments will mean that much of the attention will rest upon them. But this is only Philander’s third Test at Newlands and he already has 19 wickets at 9.73. He loves Test cricket and he loves nowhere more than Newlands.
Dale Steyn reached 300 Test wickets in his 61st Test before lunch and became the fourth South African to do so, following Shaun Pollock, Allan Donald and Makhaya Ntini. Then came another redoubtable figure, Jacques Kallis, who joined Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting and Rahul Dravid as makers of 13,000 Test runs. He briefly gorged himself on the New Zealand attack in the unconcerned manner of a king used to more exacting feats before departing with many potential courses left uneaten.

Good for nothing Lions players eh?
Can’t trust them to do anything…. Oh k@k, this is cricket.
Sorry Alviro. Great ton.
O donner, Faf is also out.
SA 281 / 5
Morning everyone.
Have not watched any of the cricket yet, but reading here we getting bowled out quicker than we all thought.

Lots of cloud cover by the sound of things, plus a better line of attack by NZ.
“Elgar edgy, de Villiers steady. New Zealand’s bowling pretty good so far.”
Comment from Cricinfo.
300 up for SA

New ball now due.
And taken immediately by the Kiwis.
And immediately the new ball brings a maiden.
Cause for NZ celebration?
Looks like if the Blomme could strech the First Innings lead to 400 it should be enough for an Innings defeat of the New Zealanders
… AB de Villiers goes to his half ton…
