Philander to Warner, OUT, gottim! Philander strikes, Warner fending a lifter to second slip! A punch in the gut for Australia, just as they were preparing to sit down for their vittles... Yeesh, didn't see that coming, so compact and watchful has Warner been. The ball just bit into the surface and rose more than expected, took the shoulder of the bat and flew to de Villiers, who was also standing fairly close but clasped it safely as he tottered back. Some extra sauce for SA at the interval

DA Warner c de Villiers b Philander 51 (119m 79b 6x4 0x6) SR: 64.55

3 before lunch... i'll take that

Ja happy with that too especially seeing as Warner seemed set for a big score. Would love to see Smith gone soon too but more important to get regular wickets. Cracking match so far.

There's an hilarious comment on Cricinfo regarding Durban and the brothers Marsh:

 

I knew the Durban pitch has gotten slower over the years, but really, a Marsh at both ends!

 

Or something to that effect.

wow, we're really way behind in this one - at least there are four games in the series!

 

honours even day 1

no matter how this closes aussies should be ahead.

 

inspired move bringing in Lyon in the 8th over, best 1st change oke ever

[Sepia]

Going to have to bat to save the test it would seem.  Can't play catch up with this one. 

 

Hope I am wrong.

[Shebeen]

sheesh 5 down.

 

did note that they zoomed in on the ball, it's only 30 odd overs old but looks like a ball about to replaced at 80 overs. and surprise surprise they are getting it to reverse.

 

We need to learn what tricks they are doing, because it is not normal.

ja, can we scrape it to 250 (big ask the way it is going)

gives them a 100 lead

 

bowl them out for 150(big ask)

 

and then chase 250 to win.

 

 

going to need some special performaces
