Day 2 - S.Africa v Australia - Centurion

Some rain has now appeared likely, towards the end of Day 2 and 3.

It's hot as anything, so, it's to be expected in this area .. Some of the thunderstorms, can be intense.

Not sure how much. The game is going to move, till Tea, unless S.Africa really make some quick inroads. It looks like Aus will score 450, and it will be up to the S.African batters, to pull he bowlers out of a hole ( for a change ).

Prices look right .. Thou, would have to lay Aus, at much shorter.

 

Morkel gone off a scan on shoulder .. Pressure on other bowlers.

On drinks, Smith goes, for a well deserved 100.
