It must be a lot harder for the less established players to feel like they can ask for the review. Someone like a KP or a Ponting could find it easier to consider their wickets important enough to take a chance.

Katich was dozing off at the other end??

 

[TT Boy]

Sweet.

 

[Precambrian]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Steulen]

That's a nice maiden wicket to grab...

 

[TT Boy]

Well he's on.

For the umpteenth time since 2008 Indian tour, RT Ponting falls edging behind to a tall fast bowler who extracts bounce and generally bowls into him..

But it was an outswinger and full, the swing did him, nothing else...

Heard of the term "surprise delivery"?

Hotspot says no nick?

 

[Mister Wright]

Ponting's a bit all or nothing lately with his batting. Perhaps as he gets older his poor starts will leave him more exposed to cheaper scores.

Albie is a pitch up swing bowler. That is his stock ball, the outswinger.

Hussey and Clarke haven't had the best series. It will be interesting to see how they do this match.

Mistaken identities, confused Albie for Morne. My bad.

Definitely South Africa's session, not many runs conceded and two big wickets.

Gonna need a big partnership to get through today on top.

Considering how utterly ***** they were in the field, it is unbelievable they're in this position at lunch.

Agreed. Not that I'm complaining.

Hopefully Clarke can step up and play a mature one. A real hard grinding knock. Otherwise with only Haddin left, we might lose this test.

Are you 'Butters' off South Park?

Just after lunch on day 1 - do we have a new record?

 

[Mister Wright]

Hussey continues his poor run. I think he now only has 2 scores of 50 or more from 8 tests. Most of those tests have yielding single figure scores.
