How lekka to see the bowling side turn on the heat on a lively pitch!!!

[Wannabe]

Wanted to post this yesterday already while the "experts" were busy wading into the Proteas, but I did not get the time.

 

Guys, consider this. The Aussies were on the top of their game the previous two matches. The bowled and batted brilliantly. The Proteas on the other hand were having so-so games with both the bat and ball, but still held the Aussies out with relative ease.

Tells me the Proteas is the better team, period.

 

GO PROTEAS, YOU BEAUTIES!!!!!!

Wonder if they batting quick enough for some people here.

 

100 partnership up for Smith and Hash in 80 odd balls

Goodness, I've been working, just checked the score. Is Hash smashing it?

He did his part as an opener...

Well done, big guy!

To think...

 

IT'S ONLY DAY 2!

[Benjamin]

Well done boys. Belter of a day.

[Christie]

Hope we bat out the whole of day 3, set them a target of 600. Perhaps AB will find some form under less pressure.

"‘Moments’ in sport are difficult to categorise when they happen, but today should be an exception. It should be recognised immediately. South Africa scored 206 runs in the final session. It was one of the most brutal assaults in the history of the game, never mind South Africa’s history."

It was a beautiful day in South African cricket

 

It shows again that one mustn't write off our players early on in the game. They have shown real character to fight back the way they did, and while many wrote them off. keep it up boys.
