I wonder what S.A approach will be to try and chase this total in 2nd inns?
 
Lead is now 229..

Aussies would fancy there chances on winning this game from here!

Each run is extremely valuable for Australia. I don't think SAF can chase this as it is (based on these last two innings)

still you can feel the psychological advantage has been passed over to SA after the shambolic of a display from Aus..

Njamal bhai i like TEST cricket a lot and i believe there should be better balance between bat and ball.

Flat tracks
Rrank turners from day 1
These kind of green pastures

where 21 wickets fall in a span of 20/ 30 overs are ridiculous.

I will never support any of the above mentioned type of pitches where there is no balance between bat n ball bhai :)
 
Hot spot again turned as cold spot due to rain:)))

Also a S.A loss here means that there chances off trying to re-claim number 1 test spot will be fading fast!
 
Lol..... Whoever favors bowling pitches.... Look what it brings! The batsman are getting like sheep in front of hungry lion bowlers!
 
Lol this has to be the funniest test game.This is fun,so many ducks & single digits.:yk

Lyon & Siddle's double digits have spoiled the sequence..:D

All Out. :)))
 
Aussoes 47 all out.

S.A need 236 to win!

So we will have seen all 4 test inns played on the same day!
 
SA has to chase 236 to win the test match

This is the 4th time Aussies has scored under 50 in an innings

you wont see these kind of matches so often. Enjoy while it last. :)
 
22 wickets have fallen today in 63 overs!

Shocking stuff!
 
First 9 wickets produced 19 runs and 10th wicket produced 26 for Aussies.
 
Lyon top scorer with 14

Is this 1st time number 11 has scored the highest score in a teams inns?
 
Only 8 off 33 batsmen so far have got into double figures in this match!
 
235 might seem like a low score but in reality its close to chasing 400 runs..
 
Predictions to the South Africans 2nd inns score?

I will go 138 All out.
 
in the context of the match , nathan lyon just played a match winning knock :p
take a bow sir ..
 
Micheal clarke scored more runs then the last two inns combined!

:)))
 
I think Micheal clarke is the big favourite for Man off the match here!

its good bowling getting wickets...and rash shots as well ... too aggressive by aussies ..


and above all this is test cricket ... if u r good u score 100 on this track as well :)
 
:))) :))) :)))

I love this pitch. we need to make more pitches like this. I am tired of flat track bullies :sachin

:))) :))) :)))
 
I reckon SA will do it. I mean Clarke showed on day 1 that this isn't some un-battable pitch! SA won't slump second time round.
 
Why is Jacques Rudolph playing? A bit of a random change of direction isn't it for SA?
 
9 Reviews on UDRS system it just show how poor these umpires are!foe 3 inning 9, i.e 3 per innings Shocking, Absolutely shocking.

As a cricket fan i would have watched a very inept umpiring would have destroyed my pleasuring of watching the game as neutral spectator.

Thanks for UDRS.

he was a prolific run scorer for SA, had a fantastic season in domestic circuit made tons of centuries and here he is back again..:asif

he is actually cover up for the injured Alviro Peterson.
