What an amazing test to follow. The Aussie press is a bit more modest today.

205 for 1. More than the whole Aussie total.

Re: The Cricket Thread (...and other sport)
I always enjoy cricket. Don't really mind who wins as long as the play is good. However, I've never laughed quite as much as I did today.

Re: The Cricket Thread (...and other sport)
Yesterday was one of the best days of test cricket that I have personally witnessed - we showed why we are No.1. Going into the game yesterday it was on for Australia, but effectively over for them in the first half an hour thanks to Steyn and big Vern, and then our top order put them to the sword. Australia were mediocre at best - 2 superb catches is all that they got. The crowd was very quiet for most of the day! When you see Watson, you realise that he is injured and should not be playing. Poor captaincy from Clarke as well and his team looked like they didn't want to be there.
I'm going to head down there again today, but unfortunately will need to leave early. Hopefully we can bat all day and set them a target of 600+ giving us 2 days to bowl them out.
