At the end of the 1st day at the ‘Gabba, South Africa played well and scored 2-255, quite a match-winning score. On the other hand, the Australian bowling lacked effort or purpose.
Graeme Smith won the toss and elected to bat first on a pitch thought to give batting a tough time. But the doubts proved wrong as there was almost no swing in the opening overs, another rare sight on Brisbane’s cricket grounds. The home side failed to pitch the ball far enough up to bring expansive drives and front foot edges into play until post-Tea when Siddle, The Haus, and Pattinson J discovered discipline and a fuller length and forced Kallis and Amla to graft for their runs.
Graeme Smith’s fall to James Pattinson (1/53), adjudged out LBW on review for 10, was a promising start for the home team, but from that point the visitor’s took control.
Alviro Peterson and Hashim Amla combined to at first blunt, then punish, an Australian attack that increasingly looked out of ideas – a fact illustrated by Test debutant Rob Quiney being thrown the ball by captain Michael Clarke.
Nathan Lyon (1/61) had Peterson caught by Mike Hussey off a mistimed pull shot for 64 to give the Australians some hope, but the wicket was against the run of play and only served to reunite one of the most devastating partnerships in Test cricket.
Hashim Amla (90) and Jacques Kallis (84) combined to bat with the confidence, surety and ease that has demoralised attacks around the world and added 136 (unbroken) for the third wicket – the highest partnership for any wicket for South Africa against Australia at Brisbane.
Australia has the potential, but they missed out few bright chances and in return been taught a lesson by the tourists who played remarkably.
The 2nd day play was fully washed out. Play will begin 30 minutes earlier on day three, with the added intrigue of a shortened Test.
