Ball-by-Ball Commentary


Match State: Day 1 start scheduled for 10.30am local time (8.30am GMT)

       We bid you welcome from a cool and overcast Newlands with the news
        that South Africa have won the toss and elected to bat
        The town is abuzz with excitement and everyone is looking forward
        to this encounter.
        After the escapades of last Sunday it promises to be great contest
        as South Africa challenge the number one team in the world on
        their home turf.
       The pitch looks very good for batting but, as is typical of
        Newlands, we can expect some reward for both bat and ball if the
        players put in the neccessary effort.
       Play is some 10 minutes away and we look forward to bring you ball
        by ball coverage over the next 5 days.

Match State: Lunch - Day 1

       All Australia in the first session as they took advantage
        ofoverhead conditions a pitch with a bit of moisture still in it
       Disipline was the key and there was plenty of seam movement around
        if you got it in the right area
       Ultimately a good toss to loose and South Africa will have much to
        do in the post lunch session

        can turn the way of South Africa the afternoon session should be

Match State: Stumps - Day 2

       South Africa clawed their way back into this match with a dogged
        fight.
       Australia played their part with Symonds and Warne both throwing
        their wickets away.
       Lee show his class in the final session to snap up two wickets and
        with Warne pitching in with a close lbw decision they remain ahead
        on points.
       Things are far from over on a wicket that requires hard work and
        one you probably never really feel in one.
       Both Kallis and Prince are capable and have been there before
        sharing 219 vs Australia in Sydney not to many weeks ago.
       All in all it's been wonderful Test match cricket and tomorrow
        looks to be a sumptious continuation.
