Looks like Miller has steadied the ship. Any run over 200 is a gift from the gods.

Really good effort in the field by Australia.

Still, SA has the runs on the board...

We've been spoilt for choice when it comes to tail-enders.

No chance bowling a boundary-ball every over. Saffer quicks are not consistent enough.

A young Ox giving up on cricket early on, turned out to be an excellent life choice. De Villiers who? Jean? Miller what? Miller Lite? Does this captain have a brain injury?

I literally don't have a clue what's going on. Have they played all day then ended in a draw on Duck McLewis yet? All I know is no heartache and no having to deal with Indian fans. :thumbup:

SA not even close to making this a contest. :oops:

11.5
Coetzee to Head, FOUR runs
Slugged through midwicket, that's fifty! Head and shoulders above the rest here. Rocks back and swivels a pull away, third consecutive boundary brings up a 40-ball half-century

11.4
4
Coetzee to Head, FOUR runs
Width and slashed away, four more! He sits deep, waiting for the chance to free his arms, slices the ball wide of deep third

11.3
4
Coetzee to Head, FOUR runs
Short and smoked back down the ground! Coetzee stuck out his hands and then holds them to his head. Was that a chance? Supremely difficult if so. Might have just grazed his fingers before going for four

Got my Protea jersey on today, only one at work. Was the laughing stock. Anyways drove back home and lost track of the cricket. Just happy at least they put in some fight.

Congrats to the sand paper cheaters. Kants.
