Well, did he bowl better here than the 1st Test? I think so.

He's a better slipper than Kallis. Someone or other posted that last week.

Probably Hass.

This is more like the way he bowled against an admittedly poor WI side in his debut series earlier this year. I think perhaps bowlers try to change their game too much when they step up to play better opposition, just try and mix it up too much and look for "magic" balls, rather than generally bowling what you do best.

Clarke on his way.

No-one can complain, with the luck that Clarke had and the runs he added. "Swings and roundabouts".

Looked stone dead.

Note for future reference when we get whinging about a dubious one that gets given. I make that three extremely good shouts not given in this innings so far - which is not a problem in itself, only when you get one dodgy one and a chorus of moans.

As I said...
