Its a batsmans paradise out there. Ball doing nothing, coming on beautifully. Unlike Verns big spell yesterday. Aussie's still cannot play that swinging ball.

Daniel Brettig: A memo to Australia's batsmen | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo
This is a sensible admonition to the Australian batsmen. Warner and Shaun Marsh excepted, although they should have stayed longer while the going was good.

SA looking very good, bat as long as possible on a pitch with cracks as big as something I can't mention here ... They already have enough runs, even without Steyn they will skittle the Aussies.
Patience vs Patients. Looking forward to the hand-wringing aftermath.

Re: The Cricket Thread
The Aussie's have to learn 2 things from that test. 2 things they should have learned from the past Ashes series in England.
1. Leave the balls that are swinging away from the stumps alone.
2. Learn to swing the ball when you bowl. Scuff it in the dirt, bounce it into the keeper. Polish the daylights out of it. See the Saffa's.
Well done to the Saffa's. Simple things done right.

Steyn gone early and they dig deep ... That's impressive.

Nice green hue on the Hobart wicket. It has to be said, the Saff's certainly know how to bowl better on a swinger than the Aussies do. Most countries do. Bowling improvement greatly needed.
