[Deep Dey]

Pattinson ruled out for Test summer.
He will miss the last test vs proteas to go with 3 tests vs lankans.

[Deep Dey]

Imran Tahir's none for 260 is the most runs conceded in a Test without taking a wicket.


Tahir broke the 54 yrs old record held by Khan Mohammad who gave 259 runs and took no wicket in the match vs windies at Jamaica, this is the same match where Sir Gary Sobers scored 365 not out.

[Deep Dey]

South Africa's run rate of 1.54 in their second innings is at the moment their third-slowest in an innings in which they've faced at least 50 overs since 1990. In 1994 at the same venue, they scored 129 in 105.5 overs.

scorecard of that epic slow innings in which SA scored 129/10 in 105.4 overs and lost to australia by 191 runs at adelaide only in 1994

[Deep Dey]

With Graeme Smith's catch in 2nd Innings, Ponting now has 196 test catches to his name, 14 behind dravid

[Haseeh]

Wanna ABD continue his crazy batting + kallis to come bat and score 105+ to equal with SRT in fastest 1300 runs in tests

[Viresh]

Faf and AbD heading for a draw

[Parth]

ABD is too slow

even slow than Dravid
