Steyn is a very good bowler. And Clarke's innings is a very important one for the team and it was good to see him score an innings like that (not out, mind you) when the team requires one to stand up.

The Australian bowlers will have some work to do if we're to win this Test.

Agree. i have only heard the days wrap on a couple of radio stations. The pitch seemed lively early. Great knock by Pup. I also thought of the Hughes knock against the Windies.

If the planets line then Mitch Johnson could bowl hand grenades but we do know that he could easily bomb. Fascinating

Just heard as well. I feel sick. Heartbreaking. Sparing a thought for Sean Abbott as well.

There are no words that can suitably describe that effort from Rhino. If anyone stayed up to watch it, I am extremely jealous.

He shouldn't really need to. He's toughed it out for years with a bad back to become one of the best batsmen and captains in the world. People are going to hate him because he has made them look stu

My memory is a little cloudy right now, but he has bowled well there in the past, has he not ?

He had an outstanding series last time in South Africa with some truly brutal spells of bowling that were the equal of Steyn on occassions. Also hit a century on the tour. Has largely disappointed since.

Great knock by Clarke. Listening to the commentary that 284 is not a bad position given the toss.

Johnson 2 overs for 14......tick tick bomb! Early days but I hope he finds his mojo in his next spell.

If we can restrict them to 300 - 320 we're right in this .

6/77 ! Watson on fire and now Harris joins in for an important lbw on De Villiers out for just 8 runs. What looked worrying at lunch with the wicket, good bowling is just what the doctor ordered for Australia !

We're well on top now - The Aussies look focused and Watson is bowling really well .

Watson bowling stump to stump and consistently, has paid dividends. MJ could do well to take a leaf out of Watson's book.

96 and out. Sth Africa's second lowest score since re-admission.

Aussies lead on first innings by 188 . Inside an hour Sth Africa lost 9 wickets !

My worst nightmare.

We had visitors tonight - the type who hang around, well and truly overstay their welcome and aren't the least bit interested in the cricket.

Arrived just after Clark was last man out in Australia's first innings and left when the second dig was about to start.

I didn't even tape the SA innings.

Damn.

This would be a handy time for Phil Hughes to dig in at the crease today.

edit: As I hit the post button, they dropped him in slips. I think I'll stop mozzing him now !

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
