Cricket: Test Cricket

Stats and Trivia

The WACA hosted its first Test in 1970-71 and since then the Gabba has been the only one of Australia's major five grounds at which Australia have a better winning percentage. In Perth they have won 20 of 35 Tests.

Five of the 11 leading run scorers in Tests in 2008 are South Africans. Jacques Kallis is the only one of their top six for this match not on the list. Australia's leading batsman, Ricky Ponting, is eighth.

South Africa have won one of their 12 Tests in Australia in the post-Apartheid era. The sole success came at the SCG in 1993-94, when Fanie de Villiers demolished Australia for 111 chasing 117 in the fourth innings.

4.30, first ball bowled by Aussies - wicket!!

Good start for the aussies here at the WACA.

4.35, second ball - wicket again, wow - what a start by pontings men.

Now the tough part.
We seem to struggle with the last 5 wickets against everyone.

But Steyn seems to be good at taking care of them.

I think if the Proteas get them out for anything under 275 it will be good, but I see Aus making close to 275.
 
Over rate trouble looming for Smith... 30minutes to close and 15 overs left
 
Aus will easily get to 350! South Africa is useless in bowling to tailenders.

Maybe event get close to 400
 
They made 336 and Ponting and Hussey went for ducks!!
