Not sure if it was confirmed, but it was said it was the first time in test history that all 4 innings of a test have been played on a single day of a match??....

Not seen it confirmed, but it would be the first time I've ever heard of it.

Gutted they broke 26, but that's cricket all over. Who needs twenty20?!

....And after yesterday's wicket-fest, almost predictably, South African canter home by 8 wickets, with Amla and Smith knocking up centuries....



I'll give the Aussies one thing, combining this with the way they lost to England last winter, they sure know how to receive a humiliating defeat....

Watched this live on Thurs. Aus were 18-6 when I started. Got to 22-9 when I was interrupted by the bl**dy Sainsbury's grocery delivery man. I'd have been truly gutted if I'd missed seeing them all out for twenty-odd.

Marvellous piece of commentary (replayed) from Robin Jackman when that Aussie batsman came down the pitch, took a wild swing and was caught behind the wicket off the top edge. What did Jackass say? :"He got nowhere near it."
