van Wyk has been added to the squad. You can make the changes to your team if needed. I'll post the Cricinfo article when it appears.

Like how they've used a picture of Doug Bracewell for the story

I've extended the deadline with an hour, since the match is delayed by a wet outfield.

It could take two hours for the field to dry.

It seems the ground is still wet. Not sure if they are going to play today.

 

[Sedition]

Looks like I dodged a bullet in the first innings. Had Kallis as captain, was going to change it to de Villiers, but decided on Philander at the last minute. No double point ducks for me

Congratulations to the top 3.

Too bad there was no play on the fifth day. I was expecting runs and wickets on that day.
