Original: Empty stands, Nic Maddinson faux pas and bad light: How the opening day at Durban turned out to be a damp squib | Cricket
The opening day of the cricket Test in Durban turned out to be a disappointment, with empty stands, a mistake by Australian batsman Nic Maddinson and interruptions for bad light all contributing to a muted occasion.
