Hey, cool. We've got Dizzy in our Sky studio. Talking a lot of sense; called Punter "falling over to off" on his dismissal.

Hair looking suspiciously dark tho, but.

 

[abmk]

got quite a bit of help from morkel who was bowling better from the other end and maintaining the pressure , but credit to robin peterson for flighting it even though he was going for a few boundaries ...

handy lead for SA ......

 

[abmk]

had missed steyn's spell early in the morning , just saw the highlights now .... that was a jaffa to clarke !

 

[Spark]

Great catch.

 

[duffer]

Great catch

 

[BoyBrumby]

Fair effort from Mitchell, that.

Did Alviro for pace to get the leading edge and made very good ground to pouch the return C&B.

 

[Johnners]

Johnson! Take that Alviro

 

[cnerd123]

Pitch it up, ****s

****in Mitch

He's gonna get a fivefer now

 

[cnerd123]

Amla's average has dropped below 50. When did that happen?

 

[abmk]

very good diving catch from johnson ......

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

the Mitch catch

 

[NasserFan207]

Australia need some more Mitch inspiration here.

Had a feeling Steyn would come to the party this game. He's predictably awesome

I'm going to go back to thinking modern batsmen are just rubbish if this keeps up. There's nothing much in this wicket, the bounce is true. It is a swinging a bit, but really there's no reason why this isn't a 300-350 wicket. While Steyn is class, the other bowlers are decent but hardly world beaters, yet the batsmen seem clueless how to cope....

 

[BoyBrumby]

By the way, did anyone notice that just before the wicket fell Lawry said of Elgar "he didn't do much at Adelaide".

Reason for that, William...

 

[duffer]

Heh Healy,

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Alviro's reaction was funny

He has only touched 50 twice in his career...2nd time was brisbane test, whereby he dropped back below in Adelaide

They aren't rubbish, they are just different mentally. Gives the bowler more of a chance

Aha. For some reason I thought his average has been above 50 for quite some time.

It'll get there soon enough.

Ugh. Smith batting is like fat people ****ing. Might get the job done & the end result is the same but it's really not pretty to watch.
