South Africa in Australia Dec 2008-Jan 2009

you cannot learn to swing the ball ,he will have to re model his action and wrist position which will lead to drop in pace .so he is better with this action
allthough he can improve his seam position which is the worst in the world

He's actually got it in the nets but he's not really ready to pull it off in a match.

Once again Aus have lost Hayden early,Ponting would like to get few runs here,he is laso not in good form,but he would be eager to get few runs...Katich as usual doing his job well,he is a fine player

 

[angryangy]

Steyn looked pretty poor in his first spell. Didn't threaten the stumps, didn't swing the ball. If you expected to see good swing bowling, watch Kallis instead.

 

[Raj_Aryan]

Aus needs to get a big score in 1st inngs...so that their bowlers can then go for it...500-600 would be a good score..

Hehe first ball to hit the stumps and it's a dead ball.

Last 10 ovs 44/0 RR 4.40,Aus rebuilding well here,both Ponting & katich doing well,67/1 in 19 overs,they are bowling quite fuller to Ponting ,inviting him to drive,he was out in that fashion in 1st test,1st inngs,Aus would like to get 25-30 more before the lunch break,if they dont loose wicket here,then 90-1 would be a good score at lunch break.

Once again a fine inngs by Katich,he is really in good touch....Aus 84/1 in 25overs,they have done well after hayden got out.

Job's only quarter done Katich.

Steyn looking a lot better in this 2nd spell. Should have had Punter but Kallis dropped an absolute sitter. That could prove costly in the end.

Was McKenzie. Kallis is still of the field. Had he been on ab would have stood were mac dropped the catch and ponting would probably be out now.

Could prove very costly.

Good first hour but morkel's first spell cost us. Was too expensive, seems to be better since he changed ends.

 

[nikhil_99]

Katich gone,Ponting is playing well,specially straight drive,it was a beauty...

 

[aussie1st]

My bad, none the less proving very costly for SA now. If they got Ponting we might have seen something similar to the WACA. Instead hes now changing the game back in Aus favour and he might finally get that 100 we have been lacking.

 

[Cricketdude]

Hehe first ball to hit the stumps and it's a dead ball.

Hehe That's probably why Morkel was getting smashed.

That good enough for you Syl?

 

[deerkick]

Congrats Ponting, well deserved hundred.

 

[aussie1st]

Well deserved 100 and now hes gone Thought it was Pup that got out, maybe he should have been the one saying to Ponting stay there to tea.
