South Africa v Sri Lanka, 3rd Test, Cape Town, 3-7 January, 2012

Rudolph chalks up a 50 and the next ball AB who's been toying with the bowling chalks up 150.

Good, aggressive declaration from Smith. If you've already got enough runs, why wait until an hour before day 2 stumps to declare? It's something I think England and Strauss should look to do more often.

SA declare on 4/580. AB smashed 160 from 205 balls. Inspired decision to bowl first!

Perhaps he was thinking 'Threesome!'....

Dammit!

I think we'd have declared at 600.

No bird is fit enough for me to have my erection in such close proximity to another erection. Not even Megan Fox.

You obviously never went to boarding school then......

Trev when I made my post I wasn't expecting 87 off 10 overs.

Sorry, I wasn't taking aim at you Taips. It's the norm for a team to get to 550 then declare with an hour till stumps on day 2, but it was good for once to see South Africa take the initiative and put themselves in a position to bring forward the declaration by a couple of hours.

Fair enough. That onslaught definitely fast forwarded the declaration.

The words "get to 550 then declare" make me depressed.

Then I decided to make myself even more depressed by looking up the scorecard online.

Is this the SSC? Jayawardene will get his 100 in this match.

[Red] Is it just me or does Philander look a little overweight? [/Red]

He looks so happy I reckon he thinks it's raining popcorn chicken

Ew, a sweaty Kallis crotch shot I can do without!

After making a pair at Durban, I believe that photo was taken right after Kallis had got off the mark.

He was obviously demonstrating to his gf what she could expect at stumps.

And btw, he doesn't look overweight. No sign at all of pork around the middle. Where is Dem now??

{Taipan} Nice tits Red. {Taipan}

Tahir's appealing is borderline over the top.

At least he looks at the umpire.

Looks at the Umpire? Practically threatens to kill him.

Maybe they asked for a shot of his totty, and didn't realise the word has quite a different meaning in South Africa...

Right, now to clean up the tail.

And Steyn strikes again. Lets get another before lunch.
