SA won in a thriller yesterday. SA are a country on the rise.

Duminy is on top form. can't say the same for gibbs, he needs to get back into rehab or dropped

That was such a tense game, Australia really dropped the ball in those last couple of overs, they had SA on the ropes.

Waking up at 1 am tomorrow morning to watch the game... excited!

Hopefully my local boys can pull off another win, I doubt they will though

Impressive first viewing for me. Good in the test matches. Thats where it counts. Makes Princes place in the side problematical.

Tests are how cricket should be played. This whole pro20 wave pisses me off to the max!

It is always good to have some competition and I think you are right about Duminy pushing prince for the outright spot in the test side

You speak my language. But.............. it is seemingly generating huge income and also the couple of games that I have been to more children are coming with the parents. As much as I am annoyed, if it pays for test cricket to stay alive I will begrudgingly live with it.

Exciting finish to todays one dayer. I thought SA were going to make it for a while there but a run a ball plus at the halfway mark is always difficult when chasing a total of 250.

England won The Ashes in Australia, a lifetime first for me. I am quite ashamed!

Wait. Confused.
I thought with cricket you had to shoot balls through low hoops at low speeds.
This looks more like a strange kind of baseball to me?

you're thinking of Croquet, s_k...
