Australia v South Africa (2nd Test)

[Jim05]

Hughes caught at slip for 88
1/174

Did he bat well for his 88.

Yeah. Was dropped on a difficult chance and edged one to keeper and not given out but apart from that looked good. Mainly shots square through the off but played some great shots off Steyn. His defence looked a lot more solid

according to commentary on cricinfo he played a lot of streaky shots

Crap.
1 or 2 maybe.
Most of his shots were crunched square on the off

Still not convinced.

Couple of decent cracks opening up on pitch.
Ball moving around a bit now

Pitch played true and new ball didnt do much.
Hughes will always struggle on seaming decks

agreed....

Dont understand the Saffers tactics. They have finally got the ball doing something and the pitch is playing tricks but they are peppering a guy who is 5ft tall with bouncer after bouncer. Usie is just ducking under them.

And the pull is probably his favourite shot too.

Watson has overtaken Bill Ponsford for 49th Test runs for Australia today

[brod]

Of the 51 Australians to score 2000 test runs, only Shane Warne (zero) has scored less centuries than Watson

[Jim05]

Watto gone for 88 aswell
Caught in the deep by Tahir, good catch
Watson doesnt convert another 50 but good innings considering his injury
2/192

[RustyCage]

Punter gone for 0

[Jim05]

Ponting plumb LBW to Steyn
Thanks for the memories but its time to piss off Punter
Lost 3/23 since lunch

Depressing seeing one of the greatest batsmen ever fall apart like this.

One innings left.

Agreed, dont want to remember him like this. His average will drop below 50 the way he is going

i haven't seen pontings dismissals of on this tour, but are they good deliveries or poor shot selection???? sometimes there isn't much you can do with a very good ball... what im saying is it poor form or good bowling????

[the joker]

This could be the last test of our second best cricketer,
A bit of symmetry that don bradman got dismissed for a duck on his second ball in his last test,
But I hope he gets the New Zealand series to resurrect his career
