Jubilant South Africa (left) are on the verge of their first ever series win in Australia after outplaying the home side for the second day running at the MCG on Monday.They bowled the Australians out for 247 in their second innings with only captain Ricky Ponting (99) putting up prolonged resistance. Needing only 183 to win and go 2-0 ahead in the three-match series, South Africa closed on 30-0 and it should be a formality on Tuesday, famous last words.
We had one of the best views in the house, from the members' enclosure where everybody was perfectly behaved in a booze-free area, and it was a memorable and great day's cricket between the sport's top two nations. Dave
