Australia are on the verge of being bowled out within 12 overs.
 
Thats it boys. get ready to witness the lowest score ever. :D
 
It must be a strange strange feeling in that Aussie dressing room.
 
What an amazing move to bring Philander on for Steyn. Who would have thought it!
 
has anyone kept a tally of the DRS/ How many the umpires got wrong and DRS got right?
 
Come on Keppler it is not high quality bowling it is low quality batting from both sides.and partly low quality pitch also.
 
Some needs to smack a 4 and save the aussies here :)))
 
Aussies now played 13 overs

so the record of playing lowest number of overs

still remains with south africa .. 12.3
 
Australia are 22/9 and still will most likely go on to win this game. That's how great they are!!

Kepler Wessels being as biased as one could get. 210 is more than enough on this wicket!!!

No. The reality is batsman around the world have been spoilt by flat pancakes pitches. You produce more pitches like these and batsman will need to adapt. If you look at how South African batsman got out, very few were due to the pitch it was some good bowling and poor batting

I take this pitch over a flat one any day. About time bowlers are given something to work with.

Then why did ICC sanction the Galle pitch because according to me it a was very good Test match and only the best batsmen equipped with adequate technique to survive scored in that Test. But going by this Test it's in danger of ending in 2 days. So if ICC doesn't sanction this ground what message does it send? That green tracks however favoured towards the bowlers are OK but turners are not?
 
the surface the pitch is getting quicker.

ICC need to investigate 21 in one day!

That has nothing to do with quality of bowling but partly to do with pitch.

Pommie said 210 is more than enough on this wicket. Wessels replies that he doesnt think so, South Africa will definitely fancy their chances and the momentum is with them.
 
PITCH is good to bowl at ..

but honestly both teams have bowled brilliantly

CHANNEL BOWLING GOT THE WICKETS .... and few rash shots
 
Due to pitches like this s.africans don't know the art of ball tampering:)))

Aussies have avoid lowest ever test score! There personal score is 36!

Any they could win this match!
 
Highest partnership off the inns and that by the last pair!
 
Shocking stuff, am at the barber's! Can't believe am missing it!

:))) :don :))) :warne :)))
 
Still no Aussie player has got into double figures here!
 
One drop catch by Imran Tahir cost SA 60 plus run. that has given the Aussies a different approach for 2nd innings.

After the 4 , it would have been awesome if Siddle showed his bat and crowd gave an standing ovation.
 
Wow, just took a break from Skyrim to check the score. *** is going on? Haha
 
3 innings dismissed in just 2 days and 30+ overs still to go. Outrageous stuff
 
From next match onwards siddle will be opening the innings :)))
 
Aussie got past the lowest score, and now their own lowest total also....


Such a heart break...

Am sure many other here are too...
 
Where is Random Aussie when you need him..Probably Sleeping..What a nightmare its going to turn out in the MORNING for him...May be a dream as well....Still one session to go...Who knows...
 
From cricinfo:

David: "Australia could make the radical move of declaring now, to give their bowlers as much time as possible on today's pitch. Who knows if it might settle down a bit overnight?"

Imagine decalring on a score of 30 or 40 odd?!
 
:)) awwwww feel for Aus.,that doesn't look good.

Guess,SA is preparing them well for Indian tour. :23:
 
Siddle the 1st batsmen out off the last 19 to get into double figures!!

Well done!
 
Aussies and (am sure the South africans when they bat) wishing for Misbah 'Tuk tuk' like Innings right now!
 
Each run is extremely valuable for Australia. I don't think SAF can chase this as it is (based on these last two innings)
