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.

    SA 1 for 46 off 11.. not good but Harris once again the pick of the Australian bowlers.

    Gee that's a bonus wicket - Amla out - beauty !

    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 !

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
