South Africa out for 96. Oh and...

Submitted by rickeyre on

Some critics have described Day Two at Newlands as one of Australia's worst ever days of Test cricket. It's not even close. We bowled out the opposition for 96, after the captain played a classic leader's knock of 151. And have we forgotten those long long long days in the field bowling to the Poms less than a year ago?

But nor is it every day that an Australian Test team is bowled out for 47. Especially not after losing their first nine wickets for 21 runs. Eighteen overs worthy of the Pantheon of the Hideous utterly ruined what was otherwise a top day for Australia.

18:20 Great 4th innings chase by India. An outstanding Test win! #cricket #indvwi #
18:07 Bit poor to see a few Labor people still sledging the Greens for voting down the CPRS in 2010. It's like yesterday never happened! #auspol #
15:32 Shouldn't we be observing 2 mins silence then? MT @1233newcastle: Record a moment in time in the Hunter this Friday, 11.11.11 at 11am #
14:38 I started writing this blog post on Warnie in June and never finished it. Until now - that it's out of date. http://t.co/1M52yUSG #cricket #
11:11 I had half-written a blog post on Warnie's retirement from IPL in May. Probably should finish and publish so I can do a followup. #cricket #
09:39 Yes. RT @charlesarthur: So @jilltwiss is hilariously livetweeting the Cain speech in the US. Go see. #

22:45 Tendulkar 15005. When I started following Tests no one had scored half that many. Though much less international #cricket played then... #
22:27 #cricket 15000 Test runs for Sachin Tendulkar. A more genuine milestone than aggregating hundreds across more than one type of game. #
20:53 I do hope Gladys' minions are archiving a Twitter search of "cityrail" for tomorrow's debrief. #nswpol #
20:07 Oh to be a fly on the wall in Gladys' office tomorrow morning! #cityrail #nswpol #
19:28 RT @FinancialReview: @latingle: the carbon debate is about to get complicated (free) http://t.co/Mu63y7xT #carbontax #auspol #
15:26 vale Joe Frazier 1944-2011, a champion from a time when boxing was credible and worth caring about. #
14:38 However, the legislation is just a mechanism in the fight against #climatechange, not the fight itself, which is massive. #auspol #
14:35 Congratulations to everyone who worked towards making the carbon pricing legislation a reality. #auspol #
14:32 Tiger Woods. Ian Thorpe. Shane Warne. #
11:04 But this makes the competition between the #bbl and the Australia v India Test series even more curious. #cricket #
11:00 Great move, the obvious one really, for the @starsbbl to nab Warnie for the inaugural #BBL season. #cricket #
08:58 Thank you @breakfastnews for that live cross to people standing on a footpath. #abc1 #
08:46 When was the last time I re-tweeted a tweet after seeing it cross-posted to LinkedIn? Never probably. #
08:18 It was the Doctor wot did it. #
08:16 Whew. For a second there I thought @TurnbullMalcolm was on @breakfastnews as an expert commentator on the Conrad Murray Verdict. #abc1 #
08:09 Conrad Murray verdict? What's this nonsense? How many no-balls did he get paid to bowl? #

19:15 #cricket Isn't it about time we accepted that it's not compulsory for Tendulkar to score 100 international hundreds? #
19:11 Yes, but that's not the issue here :) RT @Captainsuburbia: @rickeyre @Steph_Philbrick the HOR isn't sitting. #
19:02 Shouldn't Tony Abbott be denied a pair while the Senate votes on the carbon tax tomorrow? #

21:47 RT @DatelineSBS: Rick, the 9.30 news is moving to 10.30. Insight will be shown before Dateline at 8.30. #
21:45 @DatelineSBS thanks. Tuesday nights next year sounding great :) #
21:41 On #SBS1 now, some remarkable footage of JFK's last day in Dallas, the day of his assassination. #
21:29 So if @DatelineSBS is moving to 9.30 Tuesdays next year, what happens to the 9.30 news? @SBS #
20:33 ...but @LesMurraySBS's refugee story on @DatelineSBS takes precedence. #
20:32 Some Sunday nights the 8.30 choices are just too hard. Even TVS has"We Dive At Dawn" (1943). #abc1 #abc2 #sbs1 #tvs #

07:44 #cricket Great finish to the Bulawayo Test. Few teams come as close as Zimbabwe did to chasing down 366. New Zealand by 34 runs. #

08:07 So Ireland has beaten Australia in a made-up footy game as well as the Rugby World Cup. Bring 'em on in the #cricket, please! #

21:05 Just curious... but has anyone in the media sought Malcolm Fraser's take on the #qantas imbroglio? #auspol #

22:09 #cricket #spotfixing RT @pkelso: Full transcript of sentencing remarks from Mr Justice Cooke here http://t.co/I9rE5BP1 #
22:04 Good to see, however, that News Of The World will not be refunded its entrapment outgoings. #cricket #spotfixing #
21:54 A chilling moment for #cricket as three internationals are sent to jail. And they're just the buggers unlucky enough to be caught. #
21:45 How would you be feeling right now if you're a player whose has (so far) escaped undetected? #cricket #spotfixing #
21:40 How can a suspension from playing be used to mitigate a custodial sentence? #cricket #spotfixing #
21:17 #spotfixing is the hashtag to watch right now. Sentencing imminent. #cricket #
20:42 So the word is that Shane Warne is coming back to bowl anywhere up to 36 overs this summer. #cricket #bbl #

15:03 Actually, it's not Play School up first on #abc1 at 3pm, but @alboMP's favourite interviewer Hoot. #
14:07 #ABC1 showing Senate #qt. TAbbott can't apply the Play School gag to a govt reply to the customary 2.49-ish censure motion. #auspol #
12:20 So no PJK for #qanda. No surprise really... Where would they find the room for his ego alongside five other panellists? #
10:26 You'd think the Government could come up with a more original abbreviation for the National #Water Account than NWA. #auspol #
08:14 How did Kim Kardashian slip into Australia without being packed off to mandatory detention? #
07:06 The Australian government needs to act immediately to secure a compromise and have Julian #Assange extradited to Ikea, Tempe. #
