Haha got some more:
@andyc: Looks like u r on drugs today
andyc - wakeup from ur dreams...
Anyway, to the cricket. Ponting and Hayden looking very set here (hopefully I won't jinx them like I always manage to do). Australia should be looking for a lead of 150 at the bare minimum. Hall's been a bit expensive, hopefully Boje will come on soon and we can see if the pre-game comments of using him to take wickets will actually be carried out. I doubt it though, given they've started to speed up. To any watching it, is it moving around at all?

It has been. The pitch certainly isn't flat yet. Even with a 30 over ball this morning Nel and Ntini got movement, and Nel kept it all the way through the first hour. I think it's settling down a little bit now, but the new ball later today will still move.andyc said:
Batting has been tough out there, and Ponting and Hayden have stuck at it well.
By the way, how biased are these South African commentators? A couple of them make Bill Lawry seem even-handed, and being in South Africa seems to bring it out in Greig as well. It wouldn't matter if it was one or two, but with no foreign commentators in there it just becomes a South Africa love-in after a while. What I wouldn't give for a Richie or Slater.

Same with Symcox.
At least Richards and Donald are analytical.
Wicket still has quite a bit in it and even Boje is turning it a long way - doesn t bode well for SA unless Aus collapses.
