The Effort Ball

Ryan Harris puts everything in to it. Just look at his face and hands!

Taking The Knocks

Bruises fade but the scorebook will endure.

Isn't it great to see two evenly matched sides thumping away at each other? Well, if they are matched and skilled that is.

No Steyn On The Game

I can't help thinking I am missing something.  While I survive on a diet of meaningless domestic T20 and one sided Ashes tests, cricket fans in SA are witnessing a heavy weight title fight of epic proportions.

It must be a great series as it has cricket writers such as Firdose Moonda writing stuff that reads like Neville Cardus and Denzil Batchelor on very strong speed.

Dale Steyn being compared to Claude Monet! So who would be Tendulkar's artist equivalent?

Ask And You Shall Receive

Well, sometimes.

You have to give it to the Saffer lads, that is one concerted appeal, and a nice bit of camera work as well.
