This game has draw written all over it.
We batted on too long yesterday. Pointless.

Full credit to Clarke & Cowan, they are batting like troopers right now.
Cowan: 122. Clarke: 100.

Steyn has just dropped Cowan. I bet that hurt.

4 for 306. Cowan got sloppy backing up.

Re: The Cricket Thread (...and other sport)
I'm not sure that would have made a difference. Kevin Mitchell Jnr needs to get a rocket up his proverbial for producing such a terrible wicket! This match is almost identical to the Ashes test a few years back, it has no life in it whatsoever!

I love the way Hussey just launches straight into it, no hesitation whatsoever.

Exactly. Pitches like this do nobody a favour - okay, maybe for the guys selling tickets, beer or burgers

Crikey, look at all those extras. Mokbel won't be popular in the locker room tonight.

Clarke has his double ton. Hussey coming up for 100.
All of a sudden South Africa's first innings effort doesn't look quite so impressive.
