This test series started off like a South Africa bating lesson for the Aussie bowlers, two centurions and one half century in the first innings and I thought, shit, this is not Alastair Cook and Kevin Pietersen in the Gaba all over again!! 450 looks a long way home.

And then we went out to bat, holy shit, 3 for 40 and out come Michael Clarke to steady the ship with Ed Cowan, and the next two and a half days was just pure joy and watch the Captain declared at 5/565 and himself a 259 n.o. Just bring so much national pride back. And along the way, Clarkey made more than 1,000 runs in test cricket in one calendar year, streets ahead of the two South African who are 2nd and 3rd.

Well, we just got an early wicket, who knows, may be we could get a highly unlikely win in the first test, go Clarky and the boys !!
