It's clearing pretty quickly by the look of things. I don't think we'll miss any game time. Just typical Sydney rain.

If they need the reserve day do they carry on the match from where it left off?

Correct. The match resumes at the point it was suspended.

So Duminy and Tahir have three wickets each and SL's main spinner is a debutant. No pressure then.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Good catch. What was the third umpire checking...the front foot?

They told us nothing at the ground. All the players walked off for tea at the same time so I had no idea that amla had been given out lol..

Alright I've been wrong before, I admit, but this is it - today is the day Quinny returns to form and sets the pace for the Saffers. Over a ton for sure and takes three good catches, he takes MOM and the team is vindicated for their faith in the young opener.

So I'm already wrong about him taking three catches and a century seems very unlikely. I'm sorry everyone, I'm as dumb as a brick.

All we (South Africa) need to do is play good, intelligent cricket and not flail madly at every possible ball and we should win incredibly comfortably. We don't stand a chance.

Just like Australia needs to not bat like retards, and NZ needs to not remember they are actually just NZ, and India's bowlers need to not be frauds.

Every team is bad.
