This is what you call a m-a-s-s-a-c-r-e I think the Saffies are aiming for the biggest innings victory margin ever ! Something like innings and 450 runs .

[Mr. Wicket]

Nope, they declared. Probably want a couple of days to golf...

[Donny]

4/556 dec. Prince 123* de Villiers 103* (109) Windies 0/23 at stumps.

total annihilation by SA in this match. they have lost tests against India, Pak and WI at home but bounced back to win the series on all 3 occassions.

[Dravid]

4 wickets in 1 innings..and idiot smith gives pollock only 1 over b4 end of days play ..

[Donny]

First century in 5 years for Marlon Samuels. Bowled shortly after with a pearler from Dale Steyn (3/72). 6/292 with Chanderpaul ill.

[Donny]

4 for Steyn.

[Donny]

Make that 5 as he continues to improve his quite amazing strike rate. It just dropped from 38.2 to 37.8

[Donny]

All over. Steyn 6/72. Farewell Shaun Pollock after 108 Tests. One of the greats for South Africa. 421 Test wickets @ 23.11 3781 runs @ 32.31 with 2 centuries and 16 fifties.

Great performance by Dale Steyn

WI were back to normal routine after the 1st game. SA pummeled them convincingly. P.S: who was fastest to 100 wickets in tests ?
