It was Jerling.Rather reminiscent of my first day of Test cricket, also aged 12, against the Saffers on the 98 tour. It was a match that would go down to the wire as Croft and Fraser saved the Test and turned the series, but day one consisted of Gerry Liebenberg being **** for half an hour, followed by 90 overs of Kallis and Kirsten. Stumps came at 237/1. I didn't attend another day one until Boxing Day in Melbourne, which was altogether better.
Incidentally, when did Simon Taufel go blind?

...and you can see from the stifled expression of Zaheer that the rest of the team knows that's the best you can expect of him.That's genuinely awful on the boundary there from Munaf. You would have thought that, with every run at a premium, he could have been arsed to get the dive out.
Spoke too soonAt least Munaf Patel is an understandable case, but what on earth was that from Yuvraj Singh ? He is supposed to be one of our best fielders
