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.

 

For those without foxtel the Test is on ABC Grandstand radio .

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.

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

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

 

2 reviews in 5 balls both outs for Watson. Kallis out is huge.

Watto !! How good is this ? 4 fa 74 !

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 .

Everything is going our way - enjoying this !

What did I say ? 300 - 320 ! What was I thinking ?

8 - 83

How good is this!!

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 !

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
