South Africa were forced to follow on after their disastrous performance the first innings.
Luckily for us the last order batsmen rallied round and put on a really good performance, finally all out at
around three o'clock. They left Australia chasing a modest total of 53 which took an hour or so. A most
enjoyable afternoon's entertainment. |
Right then, there are two teams, one in and one out. When the team that's in are all out, then they
go out and the team that's out goes in, until they're all out. A test match is not a test at all but where the
teams go in and out over several days until one of them wins - or doesn't. Clear? Good
I got to see not only both South Africa and Australia bat, but also the exciting climatic end to the game!
