2 wickets for Philander, but the score is 94/2 after 15 overs.

I see us having to chase a big score

Nothing like a wicket every so often to stem the run-rate :)

How big is this Steyn vs Clarke thing? On cricinfo I get the impression it is like Bradman vs Larwood. What happened to make this such a big deal?

Morkel to Bailey, no run, dropped, Miller has put down Bailey at point! It was short outside off with room, Bailey cut it straight to point, Miller goes both his hands to it to his left around the shoulders but the ball popped out immediately

Imran Tahir to Bailey, no run, one more put down! fulld elviery was chipped back to Tahir, he jumped a bit to catch it but couldn't hold on to it. Spilt an easy catch

Catches win matches. In Rohit's case, dropped catches lose matches.

Philander to Marsh, OUT, that's gone through, what a delivery from Philander! It pitched outside off and seamed in a bit, Marsh looked to guide it on the off side but left a big gap between bat and pad and the ball sneaked through that to make the bails fly!
MR Marsh b Philander 10 (15m 15b 1x4 0x6) SR: 66.66

Another one

Is there a way that I can change the commentary to something else on the supersport streaming site?

Bailey has been dropped 4 times now that I am aware of. It's cost the Saffers big!

Better late than never, I suppose:

Steyn to Bailey, OUT, another one goes high in the air, Faf is chasing this time and he's running back a long way from mid-off and completes an outstanding catch over his head, while falling down. It was full, Bailey lofted it again, but couldn't clear the fielder this time

GJ Bailey c du Plessis b Steyn 70 (106m 75b 3x4 3x6) SR: 93.33

Bailey capitalised on the opportunities given.

Brilliant catch by Faf. 18 backward steps and a backward dive. Impressive.

Our catching is fecking horrendous.

How many chances can a team drop?
