I'd suggest looking in the mirror and wooting yourself until the feeling passes. Celebrate with a microwaved pizza cone if you like...
Damn but prince was looking great yesterday barring one play and miss. 37 of 36 balls 
I love the new Prince way of batting.
He just oozes confidence and he is batting like a test-batsmen should, leaving goodish balls, defending great balls and smashing the bad ones to the bountry.
Khan looked ok till the aussie leggie started bowling But I am full of hope and If we can dominate today we are well on our way.
Pity we have to bat last on this track, I think it will be a bit of a terror on day 4 and 5.

Stop derailing...
When I get home, I'm going to wash your mouth out with soap.

That 6 that Prince hit, was the shot of the year for the Proteas, very unexpected.
woke up this morning to the realisation that i truly despise mitchell johnson and will have to try and skivvy off Monday morning to see if i can watch him go out again (i.e. when Aus are trying to save the game after SA get to 650/5 declared)
would, i think, be a great way for the series to end if Aus were to be the one chasing an imposing target to save/win the game

Johnson was good fun at The Wanderers. He got so much flak from the crowd, took it like a man and then suggested we turn our attention to Siddle, who he claims is a w@nker. Hence the Wanderers chanting "Siddle is a w@nker" every time he bowled...
I hope that happens so SA can see how to go about chasing big totals and how not to be scared of losing games
.
That's a bit harsh, considering it's his 1st SA game, don't you think?
I thought he did well considering what he was up against.
He could have done better, he has another innings to try again.
I would have been shocked aswell if I was playing with Prince on the other end, the was scoring quickly!
+1
Khan is a good player, he might need to work on his tactics against leggies though.
Definately.
It always amazes me that when a new player joins the Proteas, we always seem to be so critical of the player. The expectation is so high right from the begining without giving the player a chance to find himself within the team.
People don't seem to realise how big a step up it is to go from our domestic league up to the international league.
We need to give our guys a chance to settle and then start working hard at what it is they are there to do. I always think back to when the likes of Allan Donald started playing for his country. Man he was the most unreliable bowler ever, but he had great pace and was given the time to work at his consistancy. Same with Dale Steyn, when he first joined SA, he didn't look like much, except for raw pace, but look at him now.
Yes, he shouldn't have dropped that catch. But neither should Duminee have dropped a catch yesterday, and I don't see anyone saying that he should be dropped for it.
Give the guy a decent chance to get over the nerves and prove himself.

LOL, agreed, but give the guy a break & chalk it up to nerves. Even JP drops a sitter now and then.

That's what I said.
