South Africa v Australia, 2nd ODI, Centurion, Apr 5

Bit strange. On Cricinfo it says . . . Match scheduled to begin at 10:00 local time (08:00 GMT).

There's only one hour's difference now. Not two.

I believe we're now considered GMT +1.

That's what I meant!

If anyone's interested, the programme starts on Sky at 9.

You work it out.

Yes, I get it. Cricinfo say 8 and you're telling me we're now considered GMT + 1= 9

Will Graeme Smith finally manage to win a toss?

He's cost his team badly by losing some crucial tosses this summer.

Ironically the one at Centurion shouldn't matter as much.

The game's listed to start at 5.30pm on Fox.

I wonder how many pie chuckers SA will choose this time.

And surely they can't be bowled out twice by a no hoper like Hauritz.

Australia could easily be unchanged but for SA if Kallis is fit he's likely to replace the oversized Morkel according to team news. This means that at least for them their batting doesn't look quite as poor on paper with Boucher dropping down a spot but their bowling is light on if Kallis is less than fit with pie chucking Ntini strutting his stuff.

Duminy hasn't done much for a while and AB remains inconsistent.

Australia regained the #1 ranking after the Durban (where we seem to perform a lot better than them) drubbing and Punter thinks we still have a lot of room for improvement.

8:00am GMT is 9:00am BST which is GMT+1.

Crocinfo never changes it's timings from GMT.

I had a nice sleep-in this morning with the extra hour, thanks very much.

Did you go backwards, meaty?

I thought you claimed it was all in the "toss"

Time to take the finger off the "troll" button, Red. It's tedious.

I'm including test matches in this.

Punter wins the toss and chooses to bat. It's a predictable script.

It's a very hot day and Sooky hopes the pitch lasts the day as it's so dry.

Australia is unchanged but SA have reacted to their thrashing by making three changes.

Kallis, van der Merwe and Parnell replace Ntini, Amla and the oversized Morkel.

Ha ha, Ponting gone for 8

Now Clarke!

14/3

19/4

19/5

Is this a funny dream?

now I don't need to waste time watching this...

Carnage! This is meant to be a featherbed of a pitch.

"They're in a little bit of trouble!!!!!!"
