South Africa’s series win over Australia in Cape Town meant that they are only the second side after India in 2001 to come back from 1-0 down to win a three-match series against Australia since the 1880’s. #cricketcounts

@NeilManthorp banner's in the oaks today... when I sat near there with my dad in 1986 there were actually more trees than stands.

Dramatic events at Port Elizabeth. What a series this is turning out to be. The expression "captain's innings" carries a certain weight to it. My favourite leader, Temba Bavuma played that kind of innings. And Marco Jansen is challenging the world to find a better all format all-rounder.

Chris Gaffaney was taken ill on the first morning. Arno was 4th umpire but couldn’t do 3rd ump because he’s never been TV ump before. So Kettleborough stayed 3rd and Jacobs made his unexpected debut.

Don’t test matches have 2 neutral umpires? How is Arno standing in this match?

Standing umpires Richard Illingworth and Arno Jacobs + (reserve) 4th umpire Evan van der Merwe trudge around sodden St.George’s Park outfield. It’s not going to dry out. Fear a washout looming. Or mud-out…

It certainly is. Little Bit of a ‘ridge’ either side…

These dry, abrasive patches right next to the Durban Test pitch. Could be a tough match for the ‘keepers, taking throws on the half-volley from the outfield.

You're absolutely right. 99% of people are misreading the run out law too. The laws get written but then not proof read by players, umpires, scorers nor God forbid journalists! BTW, I'll be in PE for the SA v Aus Test. Beer?

Good on you, Neil! Let’s hope the quality of cricket is high enough to distract from any other ‘nonsense’…!

I take full responsibility for my misinterpretation and apologise. Not in mitigation, but the press release could have been better worded! And I’m not alone in misunderstanding. Still, all those ‘new’ catches should be allowed! Bloody batter’s game…

Just listened. @NeilManthorp you have misinterpreted the law regarding the boundary catch which incensed you. Fielder can start from inside the field of play, parry it up & catch. It's only when the fielder starts from outside the field of play can he only touch the ball once.
