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

    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.

    What a great innings by Clarke.

    Not only did he score 150, but he did it quickly too.

    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 .

    It's been amazing to watch this unfold - Aussies look a different team to last summer's ashes series .

    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 !

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
