Crucket

There’s a very nice game of cricket shaping up across the Tasman. South Africa hit Australia hard early yesterday but are now struggling to dispatch the last two, with the score inching towards 400. (Oh. Siddle gone. All out 375.)

It looks like it is going to be a cracker and the cricketing world is going to love it.

Personally though, there is something painful about following this test. I want both teams to lose – not just draw, but lose. So my enjoyment of it is conflicted. It was marvellous to see Ponting edge his first ball, but very disheartening to see de Villiers snaffle it.
