What a ball and what a catch by Ponting.

Boucher walks.

Bill Lawry goes - 'Ponting probably the best silly point ever we have seen.' 8-)

its not that bad a comment, Ponting has taken some top catches their in recent times. Anyway Australia right on top, match could be over before stumps...

Pretty damn bad I guess. Couldn`t have been sure it was out. My impression was that he thought Prince was walking and hence gave it out. But I`m weird :p

He walked into the opposite direction to the changing rooms though ;)

Pretty obvious Warne worked the umpire over. (nothing wrong on Warnes part but poor show by the Umpire).

I was at the game yesterday and Symonds was amazing. The whole time though I was abusing Smith asking why the hell he was bowling Boje and himself and didn't immediately bring Nel and Ntini on from both ends once Symonds came to the crease. Well he eventually brought Nel on and I found out later that Ntini was injured but I still feel it was poor captaincy.

However Symonds and Hayden were absolutely amazing. No matter how much hitting ability Symonds has, it took courage for him to get off a pair going for a 6. Great knock.

In fairness to Rauf, he has been brilliant all test. Hasn't responded to Warne's tactics until that bad decision.

I thought the same thing aswell when i saw the replay. But he definately wasn't out.

My thoughts exactly. South Africa out of the game. Kallis must be feeling terrible. He just dropped any chace SA had of winning.

That drop was the key point of the match. Would have been a cracking game if Kallis had have held on to it.

I said day 3 was the best day, but day 4 was lol. Even if I got badly sunburnt and was delerious from the heat because everyone had sold out of water by the tea break and I had already had my 3 1.25 litre bottles.

Symonds was magnificent!! Absolutely superb. Loved every second of his innings. Hayden did great, too. Not too sure about Gilchrist at this stage I'll be brave and say it might be time to look elsewhere for a keeper.

Very entertaining stuff yesterday tho. Warney bowled like the superstar he is.

Day 1 was the best IMO. Lost interest after Day 2.

Day 1 annoyed me, mostly because of the people in the crowd around me lol. Days 2, 3 and 4 were fantastic tho. I enjoyed every minute of play.

I`d have given it to Ponting as well. But meh. Great perfroamces by all Australians, except Hodge.
