Just like when S.A. won the toss against NSW and romped home...

Full marks to them, they're playing some brilliant football. Chelsea will be hard to shift but Fabregas would have to be the most influential player in the league at the moment. Our lack of wins at 'big four' grounds extends to 66

I'm a big Henin fan, she's looking pretty good.

And the Vics storm into the final.

Furthermore, how many runs would Hussey have scored if he hadn't have scored those 134 runs?

Clarke goes for 166. I thought he'd play his way back into form, he admitted to being lazy at stages this summer but I felt he was working really hard to improve his game. The 6th highest partnership ever by an Australian pair and the 2nd highest for the 4th wicket. Very good knock from the skipper, 10th most double centuries

England win the toss and chose to bat only to be humbled by Morkel and Steyn, with the latter taking 5-51, for 180. Steyn now has a five-for against all test playing nations. Strauss becomes the first Englishman to go first ball in a test for 73 years!

Why sorry?

Or Pakistan need to bat like...Pakistan

It'd put us on 6 points - two clear of the loser

How do you figure that HT? Doesn't a win get us into the prelim?

Shouldn't be too hard - a match yesterday at the Adelaide oval

Don't they basically have 5 world cups a year already?

Oh dear 8 for 4 from 12 balls at the Adelaide Oval 10 for 53 from 69 balls 13 for 74 from 101 balls 14 for 78 from 111 balls and finally; 15 for 112 from 130 balls

I won't start a new thread about it, but after the tragic event that took place over the weekend involving the Togo football team's bus, the African Cup of Nations has begun. Now you'd think that at 4-0 up after 78 minutes you'd be sitting pretty.... Hosts Angola scored twice each side of half time and appeared to be cruising until Mali hit back with FOUR late goals!

North is safe, for now.

Two massive deflections have saved Arsenal, though I thought Everton's second goal shouldve been offside. That Denilson is a fair sook not to mention Traore

Duminy, what a cricketer. Two vital wickets (from two very good close in catches) and there's now 11 overs left with three wickets in hand. Meanwhile, Bangladesh make 296 in a one dayer and India need 108 from the last 101 balls. Impossibly close bump ball decision goes England's way. 20 balls left, two wickets in hand. Wow. Inspired bowling change, morkel on for steyn and Bell's great innings comes to an end. 17 balls left, one wicket. 5 balls left morkel to onions oh dear I was going to bed hours ago, the missus will be thrilled. A review on the second last ball. Not out. Last ball...

Drop Misbah! Up 28, down 37, even, even, up 3, down 8, up 13, too stressful! Meanwhile the test at Newlands is shaping up as a cracker. Collingwood and Bell have (somehow) seen out Steyn and the second session. One session remaining for South Africa to square the series.

He's been doing it for years

Interesting comment...but we didn't score more. I'm thinking we just play 6 SCG tests a summer. What a final day. Surely there's a replacement for Kamran somewhere in Pakistan

It's time to go... Marcus North. Akmal has dripped Hussey not once, not twice, but thrice

Can you tell me if the pitch is rolled before the start of the day's play?

Hughes scores his first runs in Australia. It may lead to his undoing, but I like seeing the young man back himself and play his natural game.
