South Africa v Australia

Very much looking froward to the series.

Home win for me.

solid start by the touring side

Can't see Australia getting anything from this series

Still think we'll see some good, competitive cricket, but ultimately I think we'll see South Africa show a gulf in class similar to that of England and India in the summer.

Poor old Aussies

Steyn vs Clarke earlier on was a superb battle to watch. Clarke looked in all sorts of trouble but now has 51 from 58. Top batting.

On another note the best spinner in the world is making his debut today at the youthful age of 32, just ousting the world class performer that is Paul Harris.

Cracking ball from Steyn to dismiss Marsh there. I can see the Aussies collapsing if either of these 2 follow them back soon.

6 years in the test side. Its a joy to watch a top class leggie in international cricket. The test arena has been a poorer place without having any of note.

Steyn has produced some superb stuff today.

Kallis on the other hand.....

Superb 100 from Clarke.

Clarke, almost run a ball ton (clapping like fook)

I dont wish to pour scorn on England but I do genuinely believe the Saffers and Pakistan have better attacks

Now with their two best bowlers in prison they don't.

Agreed with South Africa though. No one comes close to a partnership of Steyn/Morkel in world cricket.
