Yep.

Let's take heart from the fact that Steyn has only taken one legitimate wicket today.

How's the wicket playing boys ? Any assistance ? Are our boys in for a tough toil ?

Nyumbu looked so calm there :)

On a brighter side, Chatara must be the only guy in cricket history to have tried advancing down the pitch to hit Steyn out of the ground :)

By the way, I completely expect the NZ right arm finger raiser to over compensate and deny us a few wickets.

Admiration for Tiripano. The guy has faced 54 balls against the world's best attack. He should swap batting order with Vusi :D

Surely deserves a promotion ahead of Tinashe in the second innings.

Slow, it's very brown. There was a lot of turn early on for Piet, but not so much after tea.

Lets hope the debutant umpire continues these goof ups tomorrow as well and give us 3 SA wickets :D

Very impressive and flawless defense by Nyumbu. In fact he is definitely not a no.11, but just the circumstances making him a no.11. Something to learn from these two for Sibanda and Chakabva.

In hindsight Mawoyo and Chigumbura may have been better options then Regis and Vusi although it's easy to say this after the fact .....

Hopefully the guys who failed can make amends in the 2nd innings .....
