Newlands really is a staggeringly beautiful ground isnt it, has anyone watched a game there or toured SA?

I really feel for NZ - something needs to be done about the current setup as it's obviously not working.

When a player as good as Martin Crowe writes an open letter, you know you're in deep.

Growing up in Cape Town I watched many games at Newlands. Absolutely love going there. Very relaxed atmosphere and I loved sitting the grass banks as a kid! The mountain backdrop is not bad either ;)

13000 runs @ 57 for kallis, incredible achievement. He should go past Ponting and Dravid easily but Sachin still way out in front.

walked in to the gym, New Zealand were just starting out, came out of the gym and Graeme Smith was walking off...

I really thought I'd mistaken who was batting first!

Declare now! They probably have enough to win this test!!

Although tbh, If I were SA I'd just say 'go out and score 700 runs'. Bat till lunchtime on day 4 and then skittle them. Use it as training, time in the middle, overs under the belt etc etc.

I think that the Saffers will want to give Dean Elgar some exposure and a chance to bat after his stellar *cough* debut (or Gavin Hamilton) against the Aussies.

This series is a huge mismatch. A side in Disaray after some calamities on and off the field. Vs a side who have just spent forever on the road beating everyone and are now finally home to soak up the home atmosphere for a change. This game should be over tomorrow really.

I think this pretty much tells the story of the two first innings...

from bad to worse. 3 ball duck. Starting to think I could get a start for NZ.

The edges of my bat take a beating, the middle is near enough new.
