I also thought what Dale Steyn said about the South Africans and the lack of swing bowling was interesting. I was a batter when playing #cricket and don't know so much about bowling. I find Copeland's excerpts in the coverage very informative and enjoyed listening to Dale Steyne.
Steyn said that the South Africans were influenced too much by 20/20 in their bowling. Apparently 20/20 favours bowling with a scrambled seam in order to limit batsmen. When attempting swing bowling with a straight seam in test cricket, the lack of practice of this form of bowling leads the bowlers to pitch the ball incorrectly. They give up and go back to 20/20 form.

Fascinating interview of retired South African bowler Dale Steyn today. He looked almost hippy and talked about his love of surfing. On the field he looked aggressive and up-tight. He explained that this was a persona he adopted and it was quite the opposite of who he is. He adopted a persona on field because he saw how effective Shane Warne's on-field persona was in his success even if the wicket was not helping him.
I picked the importance of Shane Warne's #cricket persona and how important it was for the psychological mastery of batsmen (esp. English), but did not pick that Dale Steyn was putting it on

Test cricket is being played at the MCG today #AUSvsSA. The BOM temperature sensors at Olympic Park (next door) hit 37.1 at 03:21pm. Players are cramping with the heat, seats being brought out during drink breaks. Wonder how the fans in the open sun are travelling?

Aaand right as I say that Scotty Boland takes an absolute peach of a wicket. Bowling average maintained.

Pitch at the MCG looking a lot more batsman friendly compared to the Gabba. Good opening stand so far from SA.
