A nice day spent at thew Wanderers yesterday.
I must say, the Rugby stadia operators (and probably spectators) can learn a lot from the Wanderers (and the spectators) re the state of the toilet facilities, at least where we were in the Unity Stand.
Absolutely spotless.
Pakistan 203 / 4 after 80 overs.
SA will immediately take the New Ball
Wicket!
Dale Steyn strikes again!
Pakistan 209 / 5
Steyn breaks the partnership
I have the laptop on GBS, and all file sharing back to normal
Just tried the password under the modem again
If SA can take 2 more wickets in Session 1 of the Day, it will leave only 3 wickets to take in Session 2 and 3 for a win
136 @ superBul:
Oh, good.
There has been some happenings here too… my partner’s father passed away this morning, so my whole day has changed… need to get to the business in Benoni rather quick.
…. and another wicket goes… Steyn again!
Pakistan 210 / 6
They cant handle Dale
@ grootblousmile:
Dammit , thats bad. Logmein is now installed and ready
If Dale take one more wicket and AB takes one more catch it will only be the 2nd time ever that this happens in a test match – according to a comment on cricinfo
That is 10 for Dale an 11 for AB – equaling the world record!
Grats Proteas and a 12ver for Dale
Pakistan all out!
SA win by 211 runs, early enough on Day 4
kay, let’s take VAT off, 11 wickets for Dale and 11 catches for AB – that a world first?
Big win by SA
Dale and AB stole Captain Smiths show
But We are on a roll now, great era in SA Cricket
South Africa have now dismissed their opponents without even allowing them the token applause for reaching 50 on three occasions in their past 17 Tests and 32 innings.
That is the same number of times as the entire planet managed to bowl out an opposition for under 49 in the 1560 Test matches played, and 5659 innings bowled,
@ superBul:
That place is filled with Indian and Pakistan fans. They have a article about a player from Australia or something not close to India and after 3 posts it turns into a Sachin Tendulkar argument.
Ball scratchers shouldn’t go and moan over that. Bloody Akhar their Blind umpire cost us a series in England once
Well done Proteas. That was just awesome. Dale Steyn was sensationally brilliant. So pleased he is South African and on OUR side….hehehe. AB too was top class as was Amla. The whole team were actually. Feels great to be absolutely destroying other teams in Test Cricket and the only form of the game that counts is Test cricket for me anyhow.
Proteas you have made us really proud South Africans and for the first time our cricket is in another league to our Bok Rugby. Wish we could do in rugby what the Proteas are doing to all cricket nations in Test Cricket. One day hope to see our Rugby in the same form the Cricket is in right now. WE seem unbeatable in Test Cricket and just loving it. We should be as well in our rugby.
