oh ffs they played "if you happy and you know it"

 

[AirWolf]

Man, this morning they were going at over 6 to the over when Warner was in. Now they at 5.35.

 

[Devill]

45.1 Ntini to DJ Hussey, OUT, hah, he's missed a rank waist high full toss! Ntini slips it out and Hussey just does not pick it as he opens the face to steer it fine, makes no contact and back goes middle stump
DJ Hussey b Ntini 36 (44b 2x4 0x6) SR: 81.81

Bye bye now

 

[Devill]

Duminy to Johnson, OUT, dragged on! Johnson dances down, making room, and swings and misses and gets a faint under edge that cannons back into the base of the stumps
MG Johnson b Duminy 10 (6b 2x4 0x6) SR: 166.66

253/7 after 46.4 overs

 

[R13...]

yeah can not wait for the SA part of the tour

let's hope south africans will get off their couches & attend the test matches too, not just the ODI's & T20's.

are capetonians the worst in terms of attendance of any sport in this country?

Might well be

I am glad to see they are using Centurion more for the ODI, 20/20 and test matches these days because it usually gets a nice crowd in.

Steyn to Hauritz, OUT, pitches it up, Hauritz makes room and tries to drive inside-out but finds Botha, stationed at cover, running backward to take a neat catch over his head
NM Hauritz c Botha b Steyn 7 (4b 1x4 0x6) SR: 175.00

267/8 48.4 overs

 

[Devill]

Ntini to Hopes, OUT, oh well taken, Botha! Ntini gets another by pitching full down leg stump, getting the ball to swing in with the angle, Hopes chips in low in the air towards Botha, staying back on the circle, who then runs across and dives to hold a very sharp catch
JR Hopes c Botha b Ntini 33 (56b 2x4 0x6) SR: 58.92

267/9 48.5

Why do have we never batted first this tour? I'm tired of waking up to find the Aussies batting

Ponting probably has a double side trick coin. That's the only way I can explain how we lose each and every toss.

 

[JohanG]

We lost every toss except for one, which Botha decided to field first

 

[Devill]

IMO I think it is better to bat first 70% of the time.

On any track you are never sure what a "winning" score is.

But yes sometimes the Toss is a handy thing to win

 

[Devill]

0.3 Tait to Amla, 2 runs, edged and dropped by Ponting, who clutches to his left side from second slip and fluffs what should have been Michael Hussey's chance a first slip, then he allows a couple to boot, so a lucky break for Amla ... that was well bowled, back of a length and deviating to draw and edge from a leaden-footed Amla but the bowler has been let down by his captain

Tait to Gibbs, no run, another drop! This one is by David Hussey at backward point, who falls forward to try and cup a loose thick outside edge from Gibbs' bat as the flings it a wide delivery, but the fielder fails to hold on .. my oh my what an opening over

Lol, nice to see us have some luck for a change

 

[AirWolf]

34/1
Amla run out .

 

[jvk]

72/1

 

[Devill]

Kallis on 9999 ODI runs.

12.4 Hopes to Kallis, no run, comes forward and drives down the ground, mid-off cuts it off
12.3 Hopes to Kallis, no run, slides down the stumps, he goes to pull but ball hits thigh pad
12.2 Hopes to Kallis, no run, nips back in off the seam and Kallis defends to cover
12.1 Hopes to Kallis, no run, pitches on the stumps and he tries an on-drive, but mistimed

 

[JohanG]

12.5 Hopes to Kallis, 1 run, and Jacques Kallis joins the 10,000 club with that shot, just opening the face and coolly running it down to third man for a single, he jogs down the track and takes off his helmet to acknowledge the applause from the SCG

Well done Kallis

 

[Devill]

Kallis also becomes just the fourth player to score 10,000 runs and take 100 wickets in ODIs
12.5 Hopes to Kallis, 1 run, and Jacques Kallis joins the 10,000 club with that shot, just opening the face and coolly running it down to third man for a single, he jogs down the track and takes off his helmet to acknowledge the applause from the SCG, what a player he has been for South Africa!

Also will only be the second to reach 10000 runs and 250 wickets in ODI as soon as he takes 4 more wickets.

 

[JohanG]

Yip, for now he is 4th in the world to make 10000 runs and 100 wickets
