Good morning sports fans! Did you hear about the cricket last night? We beat South Africa! and they were top of the ICC ladder and we were third. 
Warner got a double century and man of the match. Harris got his hundredth test wicket. Clarke made a century - then a golden duck! 
When we were bowling in the second innings it was so exciting - almost all the fielders were in slips or silly mid-on and the South African batsmen weren't even trying to score runs, they were just trying to block the ball and make it a draw. I thought it would be a draw then at drink break the commentator said they had 78 overs left to bowl SA out so that got my confidence up that we could win. One of the commentators said the South Africans were playing French Cricket!
When I woke up this morning I checked the scores straight away and we had amazingly won! What a great tactical game. Australia used a lot of spin bowling with Shane Warne giving tips to N. Lyon on the boundary, and coaching S.Smith before the game. 
Go Aussies!
