Yeah I saw Johnson rip the Poms to shreds

Saffas look number 1 at home no question. Steyn and Morkel are a joy to watch, absolute masterclass! Any else notice how jumpy sky's cameras were, bit awkward to watch!?

I dont think they are sky's cameras, it will be the home broadcaster who provide them with a feed

105-0 - Saffa's handing out a pasting at the moment... Jeet the sage predicted the 3 overs for 27 from Harbhajan

This match is as good as won for SA. Ishant bowling well, but Sreesanth, Harbhajan and Unadkat look pitiful

Smith gone!

india suck though!

Really invaluable information

If I had a tenner, I'd stick it on Amla to score his 4th consecutive Test ton vs India

It's an odd one - Teams 1 & 2 in the world and can only rustle up 3 decent bowlers between them. Support bowling toilet from the limited highlights I've seen. Harris ought to be done under the trade description act.

Not many great bowlers in world cricket total - Johnson's breeze induced haul excluded, Aus look average and England do at times. First team to put out 4 decent accurate bowlers will go straight to number 1.

looks like you are turning a corner mate

Just watching a bit of this in the office - looking at how amla is playing Harbhajan is interesting - he is moving his feet outside the line of offstump forcing the spinner to either bowl wider - thus creating space to hit through the offside or straighter - allowing the ball to be worked into the leg side for runs. This works on a number of levels as it takes out the LBW (outside the line) and Bowled (pads in the way!) from the off-spinners armoury...

I would be interested to see how Swann would react to being played like that

yet we are 1-0 up :S

[100 not out]

I have to say .  .i think Zaheer Khan is vital to India's chances in the series. The bowling is lack lustre without him. For all the promise that Ishant showed when he burst onto the scene, he hasnt delivered. How many of the indian bowlers would get into a world 2nd XI let alone first XI. i dont really rate Harbajan as a world XI bowler.

their batting is suspect on bouncy tracks, you cant expect the great Tendulkar to get them out of jail every time. i think the Proteas are gonna teach them a lesson. Their record away from home in recent times is average at best.

i dont think their is a best side in the world at the moment. the gap has narrowed between the sides after the retirements of waugh, hayden, mcgrath, warne, gilchrist, langer et al

Stat of the day (thanks to Cricinfo): "In 2010 Kallis and Amla have so far scored 948 runs in partnerships with each other in only 8 innings at an average of 158."
