The Windies batting really does look vulnerable. Wouldn't be surprised if South Africa romp this one.

Likely Windies team-

Ganga
Parchment
Morton
Samuels
Chanderpaul
Bravo(c)
Ramdin+
Sammy
Taylor
Powell
Collins

Likely South African team-

Smith(c)
Gibbs
Amla
Kallis
Prince
De Villiers
Boucher+
Pollock
Harris
Nel
Ntini

Steyn has passed a fitmess test. Looks like Harris will be sitting out.

So Polly is still playing? Guess we'll know in 1 minute when the toss is completed.

Statistical note- Dale Steyn's strike rate of 38.5 is currently the third best test bowling strike rate of all time for bowlers who have bowled 2000 or more deliveries. Only England's George Lohmann (34.1) and Australia and England's J.J Ferris (37.7) have better strike rates.

Best thing for WI is to throw the bat, all out by lunch and bowl at SA on this pitch today before it dries out and gets quicker tomorrow.

The amount of movement in the air and off the pitch is ridiculous.

SA have been bowling very well mind you.

Cheating Saffies. Either they have ridiculous pitches or impossible outfields. I think no country tailors the conditions as much as SA does.
