Australia vs South Africa, Boxing Day Test, Day 2
Day 1 delivered another tense day of seesawing cricket where neither team dominated. Most worrying for Australia is the continued form slump of Matt Hayden and Mike Hussey. Of course, Haydos is a form atheist so how can he lose something that doesn't exist? Mr Cricket suffering 3 consecutive failures is unheard of - especially disturbing is the indecisive manner of his dismissal, flicking his bat uncertainly to edge to Boucher. Mr Cricket is a pale shadow of his former self as his Test average plummets to mere mortal status (eg - in the early 60's).
However, a century from Punter was a relief (albeit ending abruptly on 101) and Michael Clarke while scratchy is still at the crease. It's no wonder he gets out in the last over of the day so often. It seems everytime Australia makes it to stumps, Pup is at the crease. You would have to say Australia's only chance of setting a 400+ score is if Pup can get his eye in this morning, bat himself into form and get somewhere near a century.

Are there any live streaming website where I can see this action on internet. Alas being in the US time time of year and no access to Boxing day cricket :-(
