Ntini is playing solid frontfoot defense.

Ntini is over-confident? lol The way he came forward and played that shot was touch arrogant.

Australian pitches are becoming flatter than subcontinent pitches.

Hope people don't discredit his innings because of pathetic bowling. It was a fantastic innings that came under pressure.
Man..all this great cricket going on and I was sitting on a damn tour bus .
Nothing I could say could add the the hurt and humiliation the aussie fans must be feeling , so I'm going to just let the scorecard speak for itself.
I'll just add to have a team under 200 for 7 and allowing them to get close to 500.....I believe that's called "CHOCKING"

In the bigger context Australia are going to struggle to win the game from here. It might involve them to have to play risky shots to score quickly , or to make an early declaration. Even then that's hoping they can make up the 60 runs and bowl S.a out in a day with "that" attack. Likely result here is a draw or saffer win.....but with that said...there will be huge pressure on the safers to chase anything around 200 with a day to play. With it being a series decider can they do it ?
It's going to be very tense stuff.

I missed the day's play today but must have been pretty uninspiring stuff from Australia.
Once again, momentum lifts and changes from day to day. Good series this is.

It's probably really frustrating and mentally exhausting more than anything else for the Australians, but seriously this is one of the best test matches I've ever seen. It's certainly shaping up to be one of the best test series's I have seen for a while, even more so than the Aussie's tour of India.

He is very steady. He doesn't hit hard. He just times it. He is very easy on the eyes compared to Prince. Very good prospect.

Going to be difficult for Australia to win this game now.
Saffers will bowl nice and wide of off stump all day tomorrow.

A win here will provide series win. So Australia will also play defensively and look to win the next one.
Dumminy is not a nudger like some people suggest. He's just finding his feet and was playing a pressure innings with the tail. The man can def. give it a smack when he needs to. He's been in the one day side before the test side for that reason.

Yep there are probably more twists to come. But still going to be hard for Australia to win, what target can we set that we think we can defend?

I woulda said that before Perth.
).Australia will attempt to bat out the entire day, and will declare overnight. Ball is in their court, saffers are in the box seat.

On the commentary, Mark Taylor said "Johnson bowls a heavy ball ie the ball hits the bat harder than from bowlers of comparable pace".
What does that mean and how is that scientifically possible??
