Yeah, it's hardly irretrievable. The good thing is that they're not scoring too fast, and we have a new ball with fresh(er) bowlers.

Ruing the lentil patties he had for dinner last night

JP Duminy badly injured after play. Carried off the ground.

I reckon our ground fielding was quite good today, saved about 30-40 runs in the infield.

It is meant to bucket down at times tomorrow so if we can get a few overs in I think the conditions could well assist our bowlers get them out for a reasonable score.

Yeah saved heaps of runs at point/cover.

hmm yeah well anything could happen tomorrow if the conditions are way better for bowling, but, I dunno, I really just get the feeling here this is a different story to India. The pitch itself is a lot flatter than the MCG one, which I felt looked about equally as good to bat or bowl on, and the batsmen were never really 'in' like they have been for most of the day here.

Hows the pace of the pitch?

JP needing a warm down due to his big day sitting down.

When Tendulkar was in, he looked in.

 

[benchmark00]

Yeah Tendulkar was batting with a door in Melbourne.

If these ****s don't do something there will be a murder up in here

 

[jan]

Woke up to see my favoutite combo, the mighty Amllis batting. Good day1

 

[Mister Wright]

Get used to this people. So much for the Argis review, the new selection panel is ****. How Hillfeldoufuldous is still playing test cricket is an absolute joke.

 

[Ruckus]

Probably quickened up a little as the day went on. Still absolutely a batting wicket though.

When Tendulkar was in, he looked in.

Yeah he looked in, but then iirc he suddenly gets out to one than nipped back in sharply from Siddle. The ball hasn't been nipping around much at all on this pitch. Will be interesting to see what Philander can get from it.
