Watson two wickets in first over after lunch. Kallis huge.

Scoop - Yes agree.

Here's some trivia - Clarke & Waugh are the only two batsman in the history of the game to be dismissed for 151. How random is that.

As I said at the time, Paine should have remained in the team after doing so well in the Pakistan series in England. Made no sense to bring back Haddin, who is a gifted but stupid batsman, average keeper, and 34 years old.

Agree wholeheartedly, Haddin just gives his wicket away every time no matter the situation, would love him to go.

Bit of aftertiming but this pitch really is tailermade for Watson. Perfect for him.

Bowls with a good seam position. A more than useful bowler.

Johnson should take note...get the seam straight!

Yeah agree Sth Africa have the better team.

The massive advantage for Aus (& Leysy wouldnt underestimate it) is the leadup the teams have had. Australia have come off a hard series against Sri Lanka. Perfect.

The proteas havent played a test since January would you believe. Not many batsmen have the ability to come in fresh like this & perform at there best at test level.

No idea leysy ;D

Good use of the review again.

6-77. Glad I stayed up

We won't get the chance to use it against the Indian's which is just crap. Anyway well done Watson and Harris.

And another.

5 wickets in 4 overs for Watson. Amazing

21 balls to be exact, comms questioning whether its the fastest 5 wicket haul in tests. Unbelievable stuff, glad I found a website that I can watch this on.

I remember Tim May took 6/9 against the Windies off not many overs.

Just shows how very well Clarke batted on this track.
