Prince, Kallis help South Africa recover
3rd Jan 2006, 12:19 GMT
SYDNEY: South Africans Jacques Kallis and Ashwell Prince blunted Australia's bowlers with a record century stand after the home team's early success, supporting skipper Graeme Smith's decision to bat in the final cricket Test yesterday. After losing the wickets of AB de Villiers (2), Herschelle Gibbs (27) and Smith (39) in the first session, the Proteas, trailing 1-0 in the series, ground out three runs an over to build a solid first innings foundation. The entire morning session at the Sydney Cricket Ground was lost to rain after a New Year's Day scorcher before Smith opted to bat first on a greenish pitch under cloudy skies conducive to swing bowling. At stumps on a slow-moving opening day, South Africa were 230 for three, with Kallis on 80 and in sight of his 23rd Test century and Prince not out 62.
