The SA ship is sinking rapidly here. I think its almost certainly a case of when and not if (unless weather intervenes which I don't think it will). 37 more overs left in the day - the Aussie may be able to wrap it up today itself.

Ow, that hurt!

Blood too from the ear.

Another case of hurt through the lid.  Just saying, its a Shrey... 

[Wedge2408]

Ouch!! That was a nasty blow to the head! Scary stuff from Johnson...

[Gerry SA]

If this was a boxing match, the referee/doctor would be close to stopping it...

That was like a left hook from Tommy Hearn's...

[smilley792]

On to a lighter note. Steve smith looks like, he'd get on well on cbf. Picks up mclarens bat, has a wave, a feel and good luck at it, before handing it back.

I like to see the pros checking out others willow.

[Number4]

That's what happens when you turn your head and take your eyes off the ball I guess. Nasty blow

[Kulli]

Doolan stays low and keeps his eye on it, unlike most that have ducked or turned to such shots.


Quality indeed from the debutant,


Have SA got much left to stay with AVB. Or will it be a case of when not if aus win?

Hope he does a better job than he did at Spurs!

Oh the joys of autocorrect, give those with not much to say, something to post on.

This is like watching Fire in Babylon....except it is Johnson wreaking the carnage all on his own!

This is breath taking stuff no matter who you support.

Genuinely express bowlers add glamour to test cricket.

Gets AB again with the slower ball. Impressive stuff!

Yeah Mitch is a one man demolition crew all by himself at the moment. Nothing quite like express pace to liven up a test match. Been a long time since we witnessed something like this, just great to watch.

Ouch! Not much bounce in the Siddle ball! Play that one! Went through at ankle level. 

[petehosk]

She's been warming up once Amla went! And now ABdV has gone, she's singing!!!

Congratulations to Aus. First session was SA but ever since then, they have played like a tight and well drilled team.
They have taken some brilliant catches (Doolan in particular!) some tight fielding, strong batting and very decent, consistant bowling (Siddle and Harris) not to mention some fiery wicket taking bowling from el Gringo with his super-human moustache!

The thing I'm most interested in is how SA will regroup and fight back?
