saffies in knee deep ****....
Re: Australia vs Jonoobi Ufreeka - 2nd Test @ Melbourne
Australian commentators were all over the last three SA wickets. Post-tea session yesterday was fun, listening to commentary, expecting a wicket with every ball. :D
Take it to Day 3 today.
Re: Australia vs Jonoobi Ufreeka - 2nd Test @ Melbourne
Hamla scored 19 :o
SAffies 198/7 EoD 2.
Re: Australia vs Jonoobi Ufreeka - 2nd Test @ Melbourne
Will SA tail reach 450? (The viewer question from Day 1).

Betting numbers at this moment:
1.25 AUD (Australia to win)
10.00 AUD (South Africa to win)
Re: Australia vs Jonoobi Ufreeka - 2nd Test @ Melbourne
Saffies fighting hard, they are 304/8 at lunch . If they get around 350+ the match will get really interesting. Hopefully they won't choke at the end.
Re: Australia vs Jonoobi Ufreeka - 2nd Test @ Melbourne
Holy smokes, Hussey was nowhere near the ball. It went up miles and Hussey blocked the sun with his one hand, then blocked it with his other hand, and the ball dropped inches to his left (right).
Re: Australia vs Jonoobi Ufreeka - 2nd Test @ Melbourne
CricInfo puts it better. Major Michael Hussey moment.
102.3 Hauritz to Steyn, 2 runs, dropped!!, what on earth happened there? Steyn slogged wildly at a flighted delivery and mis-hit the ball high in the air towards mid-on, Hussey got under the ball but the sun was in his eyes, he tried shielding his eyes with his hands, he even had sunglasses on, he kept moving around trying to spot the ball and in the end he lost it completely, it fell behind him.
Re: Australia vs Jonoobi Ufreeka - 2nd Test @ Melbourne
excellent fight back by the saffies...
342/8
duminy and steyn are going well...
Re: Australia vs Jonoobi Ufreeka - 2nd Test @ Melbourne
a dodgy, painfull and at times, well timed 50 for steyn.
Re: Australia vs Jonoobi Ufreeka - 2nd Test @ Melbourne
very composed and gusty century by duminy.
103*...
can't ignore steyn's contribution aswell...he is not out on 60.
Re: Australia vs Jonoobi Ufreeka - 2nd Test @ Melbourne
South Africa lead by 5 runs with 2 wickets remaining in the 1st innings
Current partnership 148 runs, 49.1 overs, RR: 3.01 (Duminy 66, Steyn 70)
Steyn : 70*
Duminy : 120*
What a great tail-end fight-back by SA to recover from a hopeless 184/7 to 459. Duminy seems to be a great find for them
After his mature 50* in the first test which helped SA chase down 414, he played another responsible backs to the wall knock (166)
And this remember is only his second test
An exciting last two days cricket in prospect

Let's rally, I think they are in with a good chance.
Re: Australia vs Jonoobi Ufreeka - 2nd Test @ Melbourne
Hussey's decision looks dubious, or no? Did it come off the helmet?
Re: Australia vs Jonoobi Ufreeka - 2nd Test @ Melbourne
seems like a dubious decision by aleem dar. lets wait for the replays. there def was helmet involved.
Re: Australia vs Jonoobi Ufreeka - 2nd Test @ Melbourne
missed the bat n gloves by a distance....hit him straight into the helmet and aleem gave it out. second such bad decision by aleem dar. he'll def get lot of slack at the end of this match when ponting will write his umpire's performence report.
Re: Australia vs Jonoobi Ufreeka - 2nd Test @ Melbourne
ponting's jaw was touching the ground after seeing aleem giving hussey out.
Re: Australia vs Jonoobi Ufreeka - 2nd Test @ Melbourne
Aleem's one of the best out there. I guess he is a human and not a robot as I had suspected earlier! Go Dar sahab, you are still number one!
