Thats it for the day from Johannesburg. It's been a good day for
the Australians, the South Africans have all sorts of problems
with both Donald and Kirsten having to leave the field.
Hope you've all enjoyed the days play and look forward to rejoining
you in the morning.
Match State: Stumps - Day 1
Welcome to the Wanderers for this the second day of this Test match
between the mighty Aussies and the battling South Africans
Crowd moving in slowly but surely at the moment. Hopefully the fans
behave themselves here today. Safety measures have been taken to
prevent what happened yesterday when members of the crowd hurled
abuse at the Australians.
A tarpaulin has been spread across the players walkway to prevent
any Australians being baptised with saliva or alchohol.
News on Allan Donald is that he probably won't be taking the field
for the rest of the match. Bad news for the South Africans who now
found themselves in a position without Pollock or Donald.
5 minute bell has rung and the umpires now making their way out to
the middle.
Good news for South Africa is that Gary Kirsten is apparently fit
to play the rest of the match after he was hit in the face
yesterday whilst fielding at short leg.
And a big cheer for Mark Boucher and his team as they enter the
arena.
And a gentle applause for the Australian batsmen
