@ superBul:391 – Super, Did you see Kallis get his double? Was a great moment to see that. Felt awesome for him.
Also forgot to put my picks in after day 3. Not good with remembering to do these crici bru picks.
@ Puma:
I was in Haziview end then came back toe Hoedspruit via Sabie, had a meal there. Watched until he got to 178, then came through the Blyde river canyon back home.
I missed the 200 live but i am happy now that monky is off his back
Steyn shows why he is the world no 1 , great bowl steyna

G Gambhir lbw b Steyn 80 (187m 124b 10×4 0x6) SR: 64.51
@ superBul:394 – Super, Your day sounded great boeta. Those areas are where you were today is just brilliant. Have not been that part of SA in a very long time. Very hot though this time of year.
Yeah, great to have seen Kallis get his double. The crowd stood and stood and stood cheering him for such a long time. Good to see that.
@ superBul:396 – Missed that Super, here at my pc. Going now to watch the last of the crici.
Just pleased we took two wickets today. Cause think there is rain forecast for tomorrow.
Catch up later or tomorrow Super.
Gambhir is gone and he will be gutted by this. Steyn angles one in from round the wicket, from outside off, but it was the bounce that did Gambhir in. It kept a touch low as he looked to play from the crease. It missed the bat and thudded into the pads. That was plumb. As Sid Monga once said, he wouldn’t have been plumber if he worked with pipes and taps.

nice day today , humid but not bad at all. Bought 30 rose plants for my wife, the most beautiful colors.
Lot of work tomorrow in the garden. But i love it, will do it with pleasure.
Hi all. I’m just glad we got 2 down,would have liked 3 or 4 but so glad that Kallis got his 200 so I’ll take it. We can hopefully wrap it up by the end of tomorrow.
Stumps on day three. South Africa still well and truly on top. More so, now that they have managed to get the openers out.

What a fast finish, it’s taken Australia only 50 minutes this morning to finish off England and take the remaining five wickets. There are handshakes all round now, but the Australians are the only ones smiling. Ricky Ponting runs out on to the WACA with his broken little finger bandaged and congratulates all his team-mates, a huge smile on his face as he knows this series is well and truly alive.
Ryan Harris has collected a stump, after finishing with 6 for 47. “We knew it was going to be a bouncy wicket and England haven’t played that well here in the past,” Harris says. He’s done the job in this innings, but it was Mitchell Johnson who turned the match on its head on the second day with a wonderful spell of fast, swing bowling, and he’s ended up with nine wickets for the match. Mike Hussey’s batting was magnificent, yet again, and he deserves plenty of credit for this win.
Stand by for the presentations…
Andrew Strauss: “We were in quite a good position but a very good spell of bowling by Mitchell Johnson brought Australia back into the game. You’ve got to give them credit… We’ve also got to retain a sense of perspective … We’ve played a lot of good cricket in this series… We thought we could get 391, but that session last night killed us.”
Ricky Ponting, on his 36th birthday: “There’s no better birthday present than that, to bounce back like this… To get 270 on the board on that first day was probably the difference in the end, and then Johnson’s spell on day two was probably one of the all-time greatest spells in Ashes history.”
“I’m a bit sore today, I wanted more than anything to be able to go out there and field, but I had to err on the side of caution. Another knock on the finger could have been disastrous. I think I’m a really good chance of playing the Boxing Day Test.”
And the Man of the Match is Mitchell Johnson. “It was disappointing to miss Adelaide, but I knew I had to work on a few things,” Johnson says. “I really enjoy bowling here. Hopefully I can be as consistent as I was here in the next two Tests.”
That’s it from the WACA, where Australia have bounced back to level the series. England fans might disagree, but it is encouraging that the series is still alive heading in to Boxing Day at the MCG, where the situation is the same as it was here – England win, and they retain the Ashes.
@ superBul:404 – Morning Super, Well that makes the Ashes now even more exciting to watch. Oz came back brilliant in this test.
Wonder if Ponting will be fine to play with that broken finger? Only 7 days until the Boxing Day test.
Super, How is the weather up there for our cricket today?
Hi Puma. Weather looks okay,a few clouds about so might be afternoon thunder showers later.
I think that we just need to be patient today,put it out off stump and wait.
@ Winston:407 – Howzit Winston, See the weather is fine up there for now. Just have to hope it stays like that, cause we struggling to take the wickets. Don’t need the rain to come now.
We need another wicket and hoping soon.
Super, See there is plenty spam coming in, let gbs know he will take all the spam posts off.
Hellooooooooooooooooooooo!!
409@ Puma:
Don’t worry Puma, SPAM taken care of…
Man, BonzaiGBS and myself had fun Friday and Saturday!!
Will tell more… let me just catch up with what transpired here on the blog first!
OK…
Before I come to chat, I have 2 huge Blesbok carcasses to work on… have to cut them up for biltong, I’ll have a butcher cut them for me, but I’ll make the biltong and spice it and hang it… and with the bits and pieces I’d like them to make me droeë wors.
Later, fellas!
Morkel you beauty……heeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaa. Think this could be the break we needed.
Winston, patience paid off. Now hoping for another wicket or two before lunce.
@ Puma:typo – lunch
@ grootblousmile:410 – gbs, Thanks for taking the spam off. Was getting out of hand that spam….hehehehe. Probably to be expected with the open blog for now.
Yeah,he set him up nicely,kept him outside off stump and pitched it up to get the edge. It would be great if we could get one more wicket before we take the new ball.
Harris looks out of his depth against these batters.
@ Winston:416 – He does Winston, but did get a wicket last night.
Hoping we take another wicket before lunch, that would be great. By the looks of things we gonna struggle all day taking the wickets.
Cricket looking good, hey!
I saw that brilliant 1st day (Thursday), then nothing since.
We need just 4 wickets….
Tell me, after the 1st morning, has there been any further rain interruptions?
@ grootblousmile:418 – Gbs, For now it is not looking that great. Dhoni and Tendulkar getting runs at will. They are both top class. Need to really try and get one of them out otherwise these two could still be there by tomorrow. Today no rain interruptions.
India trail by 134 runs, the runs are coming easy for them now. We need to tighten the screws a bit. Eish!! our lead is being eaten up fast here.
