Yeah, that zac was pig ugly....

Love watching cricket with my 7 year old. When Boucher dropped that catch, after Harris misfielded the 1st ball, he's looked up at me and gone "Jeez dad, whata horrible start".

Out of the mouths of babes.

Edit: The Prince has been told he has an hour-ish for 200 imo.

Australia off to a good start. Love how Hughes starts the day off with a boundary, has confidence. The pitch is showing plenty of life, Australia really don't need to bat for much longer than an hour.

Presumably Ponting will let Hughes get to 200 and then pull out.

SA should drop McKenzie, Amla, Boucher, Harris, Morkel for Khan, another batsman that performed in the tour game which was plenty, Khun, Albie/Alexander/Abdulla and the 29 yr old leg spinner who was promising.
