| It may be a little unkind, and it's always dangerous to make this kind of comment half way through an innings, but so far this seems to have been a contest of two players - Lara and Smith. No-one else particularly setting the game alight with the bat. I see almost everyone has had a go with the ball though - at least on the West Indies side: eight bowlers used so far. Gibbs out, SA 303-6. This match is still very much alive.

| They are limited sides. Has either side got a top class bowler? Okay some of the bowlers aren't bad but there is no outstanding bowler. There is lots of effort with very little result from the bowlers. |

| No, I don't think either side has an outstanding bowler, although Ntini has his moments, and is pretty damn good. However, I'd like to big up Bravo, who I think is going to be a super star. Nippy, thoughtful bowling, and can be a handful with the bat. I like the cut of his jib!

| Well, SA have lost 4 wickets for only 28 runs this morning, and are all out for 398, which will be disappointing for them. First innings lead to South Africa is 51 runs. Methinks I should be in the Windies watching this stuff! Incidentally, all four wickets this morning went to Gayle, who finshed with 4-50.

| Ntini is one of the world class bowlers IMO only a few are better than him.. In the top 15 possible top 10 bowlers in the world for definite. |

| And indeed he has just picked up CH Gayle for one run, caught by de Villiers. WI are 18-1.

| The tide has turned in SA direction 3 wickets fifteen minutes leading up to tea. 86-4 |
| |||
| WI fight back 144-5. It seems niether has the bowling attack thats needed to push home any advantage. |
| |||
| So, at the beginning of day 5, WI lead by 119 with 5 wickets remaining. What would you do? Sporting declaration at some point to give a chance of a result? Or block the day away if you can? I have to say I'd go for the latter route. This is only the second test of a four(?) test series. Time for a result in a later game. I'd be aiming to come out of this one square at 0-0.
