Australia (AUS) vs South Africa, 2nd test, Day2, Free Live Cricket Streaming

Ricky Ponting hit a rapid century but a late Makhaya Ntini strike saw South Africa end the day somewhat on top. Brad Haddin became Ntini’s 376th Test wicket, putting him level with the late Malcolm Marshall, who Ntini credits as an inspiration when he started out. Here’s what he had to say about the achievement and his idol: “He has always been my hero and I modelled my action on him after I had to change it through injury. Unfortunately I never got the chance to see him in live action but he has been a wonderful role model for me and this means a great deal to me. To emulate your hero means that you are going somewhere with your life and I hope I can now get to 400 wickets as quickly as possible.”

Michael Clarke is not out on 36 with the lower order to follow. The visitors will be keen to get stuck in early and keep Australia to as low a target as possible.
