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 !

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
