Go Dravid! Show your class again for the hundredth time to shut the mouth of some of the mugs shouting about your 'age' and 'disgraceful way of hanging around' and what not...

Rahul Dravid has gone past Brian Lara on the most runs list, apparently. He is not in the latter's class and never will be, but his contribution to Indian cricket cannot be overstated. Well done :)

Is it drinks yet? FFS I need to take a piss and make myself a coffee but can't leave because I'm worried I'll miss something.

This is really absorbing stuff. I really do love cricket in South Africa - the pitches usually have a bit in them and of course it helps they have a properly good and entertaining side.

I don't agree with the ridiculous notion that performing in these conditions is more important than performing in the subcontinent or more of an indication of quality or anything like that, but I will say that pitches with genuine bounce (even if it's slow bounce, like this pitch seems to be barring a couple of balls) and a bit of sideways movement make for the best cricket to watch. From my perspective anyway, obv.

Poor first over from Tsotsobe, but I actually think he could take a bag if he gets it right. Perfect conditions seemingly for his style of bowling.

I was out for a bit, and this guy at the shop had his earphones plugged in,informing another guy that two overs had been bowled. The other guy responded with "How many wickets down?" :p I love how everyone expects/knows that we're going to collapse big time here.

I then returned home to find that Sehwag had been dismissed off the very next ball :(

Parnell must really have deteriorated if he is preferred over him

Parnell's just not that good yet. I wouldn't say he's deteriorated but he hasn't improved his discipline or accuracy. He definitely has more raw attributes but he's done little domestically and he's basically just too raw - Lopsy offers a more stable option and has visibly improved his bowling in ODIs of late, not to mention having an excellent First Class record in a very strong competition.

Probably a bit harsh to judge him based on one over but I do expect similar stuff from him throughout tbh. He'll just look to probe and contain.
