After that one dayer, how could this be any more thrilling?

Shane Warne to be the deciding factor in this series.

i have a woody for how shane has got off the plane and totally given it to smith

SHOWDOWN OF THE CENTURY

get back to work spook

Will be interesting to see if Daryll Cullinin will be commentating for the tests... he and warney never got on.

Well cullinin never got on to warney, thats for sure! :P

And both openers are GOOOOOOONE!

We are dominating teh cricketz!

4/67 after 27

Stu Clark the dominator :D he is from NSW too ;)

aha Boucher couldnt save the pricks this time.

suck s***

all out 205

we are 1/65 in reply

A great start for Stuart Clarke, 5 wickets on debut.

Ever get the feeling that South Afica is afraid of the Warne factor? Batting first on a pitch that would have (and did) do a lot for the pace bowlers yesterday.

Ever get a feeling that Alem Dar (or whatever) can't umpire for s***?

i played cricket with him when he was in aus, he's a better batsman than umpire -_-

i used to play indoor cricket in a centre that peter parker used to umpire at! (salisbury)

73.6 Boje to Symonds, one run, runs it up to long on
73.5 Boje to Symonds, SIX, and again lofts it way back and he is
switching to over the wicket now
73.4 Boje to Symonds, two runs, down on one knee paddles it round to
fine leg
73.3 Boje to Symonds, SIX, once more a touch further back though
73.2 Boje to Symonds, SIX, short and saveagely pulls this over the fence
at cow corner

not a bad over for Symonds.. guess he's still in 1 day mode.

Looks like this is going to be a good test match.

Aus bowled out for 308, SA in reply are 3/70 ...

gg, we should win this.

South Africa lead by 94 runs with 0 wickets remaining

94 for victory - piece of piss (lets hope!)

Hopefully we will win this series and gain the required momentum to beat the red hot bangledesh side in the test series there.

and then win the ashes so ricky can be the 4th aus.cricket captain to win austalian of the year (border, taylor, waugh)

we won, south africa are n00bs.

Quite amazed at the start Clark produced, damned nice figures for your first ever test match.

woot australia in a solid position to win the second test!

South Africa are my most hated team now.

hayden has got nothing!

Wonder why, he hasn't been in *that* bad form of late... obviously the duck in first innings is playing on his mind...

lee takes a 5 for, alls good

Hayden has seemed to change his style since the ashes and it's for the better I reckon.

zomg zomg
punter with the second innings century as well (and hayden)

ponting is just so onfire, its not funny

also, i read symonds was being mean to smith at a niteclub, before being asked to leave

We wins

gg

ponting is just so onfire, its not funny

i guess banning his graphite bat has made a difference.

3 times this season he has scored centuries in both innings.

"there's at least 120 balls left today" - gilchrist in really fading light

"it's a good game of poker out here" when nel was facing warne
