South Africa vs Australia | 3rd Test | Cape Town | 05/03/14 | Day 5

[saiyan0312]

19 overs and two wickets... man it will be hard.

 

[Fire Bird]

So close yet so far for the Saffers

 

[OZGOD]

Plus one brilliant catch

Yea I posted. If that's his only contribution to the 2nd innings I will be happy as long as it's a win. But I hope Smith spends the next 6mths before Pakistan UAE working on his legspin.

 

[saiyan0312]

I dont think SA can draw this. 119 balls for tail enders even if they can bat is very hard.

 

[Buffet]

19 overs can we get 2 wickets??

A very high likely unless these two can block 90 balls.

 

[OZGOD]

Bring back Harris FFS what is Pup saving him for??

 

[OZGOD]

I'm sure Pup is bowling Lyon for that spin/seam change for the batsmen

 

[Justcrazy]

2 more wickets

 

[OZGOD]

Keep hitting those meaningless 4s we need these two playing shots. This is one of those Tests where you want them going for boundaries

 

[Justcrazy]

19 overs more

 

[Justcrazy]

So many batsmen have fallen in 40s , Philander also in his 40s

 

[Aman]

Philander needs to hog strike.

 

[OZGOD]

Let's tempt Steyn with a juicy ball he might hit straight to a fielder

I dont think these two have a defensive game so i guess play your natural game till the last ten overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies Tantalizingly close here to win

 

[OZGOD]

Keep Steyn on strike

 

[Buffet]

Why not Harris bowling here? Johnson and Harris 3-4 hostile overs from both side will be not easy for Steyn.

 

[Justcrazy]

18 more overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Its a matter of 2 good balls here

 

[Justcrazy]

Philander slowly becoming a batting all rounder

 

[Robert]

I dont think these two have a defensive game so i guess play your natural game till the last ten overs.

Yep.

This is where SA need Jimmy and Monty at the wicket.

 

[Justcrazy]

Philander moves to 45 not out

 

[OZGOD]

Why not Harris bowling here? Johnson and Harris 3-4 hostile overs from both side will be not easy for Steyn.

I have no idea why Pup is saving Harris.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Beaten!.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Right through him.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

That was close that ball.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Harris on

 

[SL_Fan]

Give Watson a go me thinks

 

[Justcrazy]

4 byes

 

[cricket geek]

philander nearing half century

 

[OZGOD]

Cloudlander plays and misses by inches

 

[Justcrazy]

Very tense game , anything can happen here.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Top ball by Harris.

 

[Justcrazy]

SA have battled really hard here

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Great game this.

 

[OZGOD]

This has been really hard work for the OZ bowlers to take these wickets. Lyon needs to spend the summer working on a doosra or teesra or something.

 

[Justcrazy]

I have a feeling Johnson is the one who will get wicket here

 

[hk031992]

Keep fighting

Maybe the choutha

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Jonno needs to target the stumps

 

[OZGOD]

I can't keep my eyes open...really struggling here

And not because of the SA batting but lack of sleep

 

[Justcrazy]

Philander weathering Johnson storm here.

 

[SL_Fan]

Test cricket. Gotta love it!

 

[Aman]

Aren't the aussie coaches strongly opposed to teaching the doosra?

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Gone!!!

 

[OZGOD]

The OZ quicks look spent. Idk if they will be able to take these last two. I can't keep my eyes open

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Brute of a ball ... Reviewf

 

[saiyan0312]

Review.. man Sa are in trouble.

 

[OZGOD]

Aren't the aussie coaches strongly opposed to teaching the doosra?

They can call it something else but we need Gaz to evolve into a wicket taker rather than a holding bowler. Though this is a shyte wicket for offies, no rough at all

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Review looks inconclusive tbh

 

[MarkCooper]

Time for DRS controversy

 

[Justcrazy]

90 balls left

 

[SL_Fan]

Water --> splash --> face

 

[Justcrazy]

[OZGOD]

[MarkCooper]

[Justcrazy]

Hits on the shoulders

 

[Convict]

Not out in my opinion. Hand isn't on the bat

 

[Justcrazy]

[ChaudrySaab]

3rd ump got a tough job man!.

 

[OZGOD]

[SL_Fan]

It was given out so it would have to stay out.

 

[MarkCooper]

this is going to **** people off

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Not out for me tbh

 

[Justcrazy]

[Amjid Javed]
