Shit, at the start of play last night the fun police told me to go put $20 on us at $7.50, I couldn't be bothered so i didn't.

If you don't have Foxtel you can watch the game at crictime.com
It's not the best viewing but better than not watching it all. Also it starts at 6:30 tonight and I think there is a preview.
Hopefully Punter makes a 100 and guides us home.

My next XI IF Ponting is gone:

Marsh, Davis, Khwaja, Hussey, Clarke, Watson, Wade, Cutting, Harris, Cummins, Lyon

Three Reserves:
Faulkner, Butterworth, P. George

The "Fun Police" could be about 10 people from these forums?

Raining in Joburg at the moment. Meant to clear later in day but wouldnt be suprised if we lost a fair chunk of play

Rain delaying the start. It is somewhat obvious, but hasn't been posted.

The covers where coming off, but the rain started coming down and chances of play before lunch is almost zip

They said about 12 local time and it's supposedly clearing up, then another hour for the ground staff to work.

from cricinfo

11.50 am The SA coaches are out there, inspecting conditions. A small step for the groundsman, a big one for the chances of play: The pitch is uncovered now! Clarke marches out to take a look.

If rain stays away the ground should be ready to go in one hour. Players just took an early lunch. With the next two sessions set for 2.5 hours, weather and light permitting.

Clarke out for 2 bowled through bat-pad gap.
Obviously in trouble unless there's a decent partnership.
