No play today. They start 30 minutes earlier tomorrow.

Full refund to those with tickets, by the way (less than 10 overs bowled).

Overcast still today but the rain has stopped.

Hope the sun comes out in a few hours time.

I reckon it is okay. Good catch.

Since the beginning of the RSA innings, the aussie comentators have done nothing but go on about the slip cordon being too close together. That catch went straight to Kallis.

Mr. Quiney will have to learn that this isn't 20/20.

2 down. Brill.

Ponting caught at slip (very much like Flintoff got him in 2005).

Three down.

Very poor crowd in today. Playing the number 1 team I would have thought first 3 days would be packed out.

...as if we didn't need proof that a lot of Aussies simply don't understand racism

What a knob!

Dunno, it seemed like an ideal day to watch 2 great cricket sides.

All in the balance now, a few quick wickets tomorrow would make it interesting. If Aus get over the follow-through (sorry, on) line then it's drawsville.

Simply outstanding work by the Saffas, and no excuses for Australia. I can't see us batting for the next 2 days, so they'll probably have this wrapped up before the end of tomorrow.
