Amla and smith treating Aussies like club bowlers...100 up for SA..lead by 164
 
What is a worry is that Watson is the only seamer who has an idea how to deal with this SA tactic of walking across the stumps.
 
Over 6 rpo this inning. Best way to go on this wicket me thinks. Don't want to let the bowlers get on top. As they say make hay while sun shines.
 
Aussies have lost the plot today, critical day of big series.
First Steyn, Philander got them by good bowling now their bowlers have been all over the shop.
 
Starc back in the attack. This could be telling.
 
SA need another captain's knock from Smithy.
 
SA lead is over 170 now with 9 wkts in the bank. Around 25 overs left in the day. 250+ lead by the end of today's play with 6 or 7 wkts in hand would be awesome.
 
Watson should be bowling with Lyon to try to stop the run rate and create some pressure.

Amla one shot away from one of the fastest fifty ever in Test cricket.
 
why don't they give ball to Watson??? two back to back boundaries from Smith off starc.
 
Can't believe he let that one go lol. Could have been another 4.
 
Cutrent partnership over 100 close to 8 rpo

Because we have lost the plot. This is a premeditated assault on an inexperienced attack and it has worked.

Peter Siddle's dead reanimated corpse would have been better than any of these guys.
 
Amla got Smith going after he started playing his shots. Top work Amla.
 
The commentary gives an amusing insight into Australian cricket.

Basically the advice is bowl short, bowl at their heads, and sledge them :)))

Just over 20 overs left in the day. Another 75 or so runs today will really demoralize the Aussies.
 
If SA can bat till the end of towmorrow they will still have 2 days to get the Aussies bowled out, they should have enough runs on the board even if they go 4 an over.
 
Will Saf declare after playing 80 overs on day 3 giving a target of 525 in 2 days ?
