It would've been good to force the game to a fifth day, but that looks very unlikely now.

A crushing innings defeat coming up.

Cmon Ronnie, go out in style by smashing a double century.

Mitch would have to be in the top 10 Aussies to watch bat (in my time of course) .. Just such a clean hitter of the ball

I was more nervous when Hughes was on 99 in the second innings.

Surely it can't happen again can it? MJ cannot be left stranded again. :oops:

Congrats to Johnson and McDonald too for the record 7th wicket partnership against South Africa. :)

Sensational knock by Johnson.

As enjoyable to watch as any Gilchrist innings.

The sixes off Steyn were simply brilliant.

Johnsons figures now starting to look very impressive, after another punishing innings.
Tests: Batting 694 runs@ 34.7
Bowling 94 wickets@ 28.01

Sounds like an alrounder to me. If he were a pom he would be on the verge of Knighthood :lol:
