Australia tour of South Africa, 2nd Test: South Africa v Australia at Port Elizabeth, Feb 20-24, 2014

South Africa 214/5 (83.0 ov)

Australia South Africa won the toss and elected to bat

AB has now created a new world record, with fifties in 12 straight Tests. He shared the record with Viv Richards, Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir before this fifty.

Johnson looking good however the pitch has sapped 6km/h off him after the bounce which has allowed the batsmen to play him somewhat freely.

Honours would have been even if Quinton de Kock hadn't given away a bonus wicket to Steve Smith. Dean Elgar after fighting really hard for his 83 didn;t play the best of the shots either. Aussies will be feeling better about today, but you mustn't forget that AB de Villiers is still out there.

Not sure what has happened to our fielding of late! But this is a much better batting performance by my boys. Parnell, so good to have him back in the fold!
