Katich falls to the commentator's curse. Chappel's actually quite good at it. That wicket just came out of the blue. Kallis now the leading wicket taker for 2009.

Actually that's Ricky's second golden duck for the series, with a 101 and 99 squeezed in between those tests lol.

Australia move from a good position to big trouble with two of their leading scorers in this series gone in the space of an over.

Why? McDonald and Haddin are both all-rounders. There is no way he would have been picked were he unable to bowl, and Haddin is an established bat.

And this sightscreen is a joke. Over-rates...
Because of whats going on now. Clearly picking a batsman in Hodge/D Hussey would have been safer & more sensible.

Yea hind sight is quite nice isnt it. Yet if you look at the first 2 matches getting the SaF batsmen out is also seemingly beyond these bowlers so the selectors chose wisely for mine.

South Africa were pretty wasteful in the first hour I thought. They've turned it around now though.

It's obviously a really good wicket but it's overcast and there was a bit of swing around, and if South Africa had bowled good lines batting could have been really hard early on. Would have been a big let-off if things had stayed that way until lunch. Since drinks they've been much better though. Kallis especially has bowled well.
