I'm poor. No Foxtel.

You follow North, that makes you one of the richest people in the world.

Rich in spirit & heart if nothing else.

And you're not wrong, weevil.

Cue Paul Harris

 

[Kahuna]

A third man for Hughes and short bowling would bring his downfall pretty quickly I reckon, he just can't help himself.

 

[YOTC]

Hughes destroying them.

When there's a road it's nice to see the batsmen having a go.

 

[aussie1st]

I love Phil Hughes

 

[DIG]

That's Hughes's 50. Onya son.

What a great toss to win, and good to see we're making the most of it so far.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Well done Hughes, go on with it now son

 

[damochandler]

great start and hughes is looking pretty good. it does help when both openers are in form

 

[Quinz]

Great toss to win. Hughes 50 in the blink of an eye, I only just realised we had started.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Hi Quinz

 

[Romeo]

Great toss to win and the pitch is meant to crack up. Finally Australia gets some luck and we take full advantage of it. SA's bowling attack is average. Morkel is as bad a bowler as test cricket's seen.

 

[arzach]

Are we going to regret not playing a spinner?

 

[aussie1st]

All I can say is thank God we chose to bat or we would be looking at Nassar Hussein take 2.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Morkel currently going at 8.67 an over.

Road ... or average bowling? Did not look like an Australian style road from the footage I saw this morning...admittedly it was only on teh news so can be misleading I know

Seems to be a lot of overpitching and wide deliveries. Great that we are taking advantage, also great we are batting first again, good stuff Punter

I like the fact the Hughes has a crack, but isn't that what he did in the first innings of the first test and everyone wanted him strung up from a tree. How fickle we can be

 

[KWAH FAN]

Hughes showing some incredible maturity atm, anyone looking for a live stream
took me a while, just keep trying different servers.

 

[aussie1st]

Morkel is as bad a bowler as test cricket's seen.

Hes got so much potential, over 2m and being able to bowl above 140km/h hes just bowling absolute rubbish atm.

Well Steyn and Kallis not swinging it means there isn't much swing on offer atm. Certainly some rubbish bowling is why we are scoring so quick but doesn't look to be much in it for the bowlers.

 

[YOTC]

What a shot.

Thanks mate, I'm only on radio and Cricinfo, no Fox or streaming for me so I don't have any pictures to form my own judgements.

That bringeth the century of runneth up for Australia couresty of the noble knave Sir Simon of Kattich

A great hour and 45mins to start the day, with the loss of no wickets!
Keep it up boys!

[LIONS then DAYLIGHT]

In fairness, i've been watching the game on Foxsports and SA have been bowling too short, too erratic and quite frankly, most teams in the world would be 0/100 facing that type of bowling.

I was hoping Weevil would be offline so we could run a muck.
