Wow. Great first session from Australia.
It wasn't a very good toss to win for South Africa. The pitch is a pretty good one for batting I think, but with the cloud cover and a new ball batting was pretty tough, and they faced some very good bowling. There's a real chance of getting South Africa out today now, which would be a perfect start.
Clark was sensational. I very much doubt he'll be a huge threat on a flat pitch, but he bowled wonderfully in his first spell. Got seam movement both ways, troubled every batsman and bowled some great bouncers too.
Lee was very good too, and should have had De Villiers. I'm a bit surprised he was swinging the ball in to the right-handers too, as he usually doesn't do that at all. Kasprowicz had a nice variation between his outswingers and off-cutters going on, and Symonds was tight as usual.
Ponting's captaincy was excellent as well. He used the bowlers well, and his fields were perfect, particularly for Clark. I thought he should have brought on Warne immediately after Kallis got out, but aside from that I don't think he made any errors.

Overall fantastic session i'm sure all of us are extremely surprised at how well Clark has bowled but yep he has bee superb. Australia are in a great position now to restrict South Africa to a sub- 250 score & really press home the advantage & againts a weakish looking SA attack when they bat.
