8.2

Morkel to Rogers, OUT, banged in short again, got him, gloved to short leg! Brilliant catch from Duminy, the plan pays out almost straight away. Rogers was hopping around in his crease, the ball got too big for a short man and popped off the glove this time, went in front of square but Duminy flung himself forward and his team-mates wheeled away in synchronised jubilation

CJL Rogers c Duminy b Morkel 4 (19b 0x4 0x6) SR: 21.05

WOHOOOO!

 

[Electric]

Big start by SA, come on boys!!!!!

 

[Creag]

"What kind of message is Clarke sending out by staying in the hut?" questions Manie. "SA will be pumped up because of it. And his team-mates must wonder too surely??"

Not sure I agree. Doesn't Marsh open the batting too? It's still a new ball, so why not let him take the shine off it.

 

[Creag]

Too many "fours" being given away. Constrict them and it'll force them to take risks.

 

[NeonNinja]

Still early days.

 

[MafiaDragonSlayer]

Australia are scoring quickly... I'd like to see some tight overs...

 

[Creag]

Out come the drinks, here's Gnasher with his orange bib on to replace me until lunch. I'll leave you with this little tempter, from Bryn: "A lot of rubbish has been talked about Australia's batting line-up but when matched up I see it about 4-1 to Australia. Warner=Smith, Rogers>Petersen, Amla>Doolan, Marsh=Du Plessis, Clarke>De Villiers, Smith>Duminy, Haddin>MacLaren. And that's being kind to SA because I could easily have Warner as a much better player than Smith in the scheme of matchwinning."

Another pointless quip by a one-eyed sheepshagger?

run rate is to high
