2nd Cricket test - Australia vs South Africa

Snoeker · December 26, 2005

We look to be in a good position. Ponting won the toss on a damp wicket and elected top bat. They lost debutant Jaques early for two (Pollock) before a big partnership with Ponting and Hayden. 150 odd for one and then they collapsed in a heap, limping t0 238/8 at the close. "allrounder" symonds got a 1st ball duck. Pollock has 3 wickets and Nel 4. The not out batters are Hussey and Mcgill who will only start batting tomorrow as Lee was out off the last ball.

A good day for SAffers
