Stuff I like

Oz v South Africa first cricket test, day one: Makyaha Ntini, first black man to play for South Africa, bowler with an eccentric delivery but the persistence of stone, takes five Aussie wickets on the first day. (This is something akin to a baseball pitcher mowing down a dozen or more batters.)

If the South Africans could actually catch a batted ball occasionally, he would have had more.

I'm cheering for Oz, but I could watch this guy all day.

Day two is about to start, with the underdog South Africans in command, holding what this statistician considers about a 3-to-1 chance of winning the test. If you're curious, you can follow the match here.
