Cricket: SA v Pakistan

[AndySA]

Wow, thought SA had a bad day yesterday! Poor Pakistan are have a lesson in fast bowling 9 down for 40 so far, Steyn already has 5.

[Victor McDade]

Steyn is a genius. 6 for 8 Wonder if SA enforce the follow on.

[AndySA]

Pakistan now all out for 49! Steyn bowled 8.1 overs for 6 wickets and only conceded 8 runs! I thought Pakistan where meant to be better than New Zealand? Wonder if this test will last into day 3?

I apogise for sounding a bit smug, but this kind of cricket team does not come around often.

Agree but you're one spinner away from being a side which can dominate, home and away, for years to come. Your next test series in India will be a good one but I can't see you guys beating them with Peterson or Tahir as your spinner.

surprised at the lack of spectators in the ground.

Did see a nice female that the cameraman took a shine to, could have been the gaping bust line on her dress

1st test all over, SA win by 211 runs. Steyn took a second 5 for getting 11 in the match. There was some good middle order resistance from Pakistan in the 2nd dig, new ball ripped them apart again though. Cape Town next which should suit the Pakistan batters more, although Phillander is a scary prospect on that wicket.

[AndySA]

2nd Test is well underway and turning into a really good one. A real battle between SA's skill with the new ball and some amazing spin bowling from Pakistan.

[AndySA]

2nd test has been full of twists and turns. SA need 71 more runs and Pakistan need 7 more wickets, Ajmal keeps looking like he might just be able to do it.

[AndySA]

Hash and AB have just taken the game by the scruff of the neck and SA look like getting a comfortable win at this rate. 41 more needed
