Ok

Small tiny plug for my cricket website

DennisFreedman.com

I write some stuff that should amuse....and link to my cricket podcast. I interviewed Paul Harris last week.

Please take a look???

[Black Diamond]

Good start so far

[D4D]

Australia 1/100 (20.1)

[Pog]

Aussies, 2 fa 195 at tea.

Clarke has struggled to 20 against good short pitch bowling from Morkel. Steyn has been off the field for a fair bit of the day.

Another 120+ from Warner. I hope doesn't throw it away, he deserves at least 200 the way he been playing lately.

[D4D]

Australia 3/331 (88.0)

Pretty good days play in the end, Clarke 92 no

[Pog]

Perhaps one of Clarke's better innings.

I took a lot of balls from Morkel on the body, head and hands, and is still there. It would be good to see him and Smith go on to get tons tonight.

[westvic]

still there at drinks and motoring nicely

Smith seems in a bit of a mood with a few 6s, looking like a BIG first innings

[D4D]

South Africa 1/24 (9.1) Smith fails again, trail by 470 runs

Aaahh, the planets are all falling into alignment.  I don't care what the international cricket team ratings are, as long as we beat SA on their home turf all will be good.

[D4D]

South Africa 3/95 (21.2) will SA fight or collapse...

[Black Diamond]

De Velliers off for a shower! good onya chopper

[GGV8Cruza]

6/146 and they are in strife, the follow on is a ways of yet

[nbd73]

Another one bites the dust: Graeme Smith to retire from international cricket after this match. The aussie team has left some carnage in its wake this summer.

[achjimmy]

Everybody has written the proteas off and I hope there right. But if one side could bat all day it would be this one, will feel more secure if and when they get de villers.

[D4D]

Agreed, SA are the supreme stone wallers.

[lino6]

I'll be happier when Faf is out too, having flash backs of Adelaide a few years ago

Sent from somewhere on something with that tap thing

[D4D]

Looks like SA have shut up shop
South Africa 4/82 (49.3)
This Partnership: 14 Runs From 77 Balls (R/R: 1.09) 

[Kangaron]

Havn't seen a field like this for a while,  9 behind the wicket.

[achjimmy]

I like this field set for Abbott.

[lino6]

Unlike Adelaide a few years ago, 10 South African wickets fell in the second innings. Great effort to win a series against the best team going around for the last 5 years. And the first series SA have lost in 5 years. Now for the T20 world cup!

[Black Diamond]

well done lads was a great victory

[D4D]

I thought we were done but the boys didn't give up, dug in and got the job done

[achjimmy]

Sounds like they really lifted in the end. Harris especially as his knee is apparently shot completely now.

[Kangaron]

Was a long night but worth it,  last wicket fell at 2.55am, 5 overs left.
Just in time, only had one stubbie left.
