WI 208/5. What kind of a pitch Cape Town has this time around? Last year it was a flat track and that Harris had taken a 5 for. We had lost despite making 400+ in the 1st inning. I can watch the match but just don't feel like watching cricket at the moment after what happebed to us today earlier!

5/220. Chanderpaul again goes past 50. He's 54 n.o. Ramdin 21 n.o. Chanders' last 12 Test innings: 81, 14, 36, 69, 74, 50, 116 n.o. 136 n.o. 70, 104, 8, and today's 50+

Can anybody explain what has happened to Graeme Smith's technique? Did he overachieve at the start of his career?
Not necessarily. The game is so scrutinised these days. It doesn't take too long for the better bowlers and coaches to find a batsman's weakness and exploit it. Some subsequent big names, like Steve Waugh, Justin Langer, Matt Hayden, Ricky Ponting etc. were all dropped back to domestic cricket to tighten up their technique - after initial success at the top level.

When did Steve Waugh, Langer and Hayden have initial success at the top level?
