In January the boys and I went to the
second day's play of the 3rd Test between Australia and South Africa. We went
with Patrick and his son Atticus. The
full match report is available from the Cricinfo website.
3rd Test: Australia v South
Africa at the Sydney Cricket Ground, Day 2, 3rd January 2006
The second day resumed with South Africa 3/230. Prince and Kallis had built a
big fourth wicket partnership which lasted until Kallis was dismissed for 111
with the score on 305. Prince went on to score 119.

Conrad sends one down just over middle stump. Callum is looking at where he thinks the
ball should have gone. Silly mid-off and silly mid-on look disappointed.
Meanwhile the extension was structurally complete so we started using it when
the builders weren't there. Here Callum and Conrad are doing their homework.
We got to know a German guy called Berhe that summer. His Sudanese parentage and
his German upbringing hadn't prepared him for cricket so we needed to explain a
lot.
