Sleepy whats your prediction ?

[The Sleeping Giant]

Lyon to get the wickets.

[Grahaml]

Johnson or nobody it seems. Clarke probably should have bowled instead of Lyon, but always understandable that you'd go with the specialist.

60 balls left
Lyon bowled the last over
Now bowled 132 balls without a 4th innings wicket

Sleepy, if he gets the wickets you are a genius
He looks the least likely of all the bowlers

I reckon Johnson to take a wicket with 3 overs to go

[The Sleeping Giant]

Pattinson terrible. Too short.

[mal]

Pattinson terrible. Too short.

But he is over 6 foot tall

54 balls left

Watto on to bowl
Bad move

Steyn looks better against the quicks. Most tail enders struggle against spin.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Who is going to take the other one mal?

Boom boom

[mal]

Hope im wrong but im really nervous about tonight

Aus are no chance of losing but getting 6 wickets including AB, FAF JP, even Philander can produce a Dizzy Gillespie type innings, it will not be easy when they are in an ultra defensive mode on a pitch which still isn't the worse pitch to bat on. There is a lot about THAT Adelaide test in tonight for me.

I reckon at some point Clarke will be wishing he had an extra 5-10 overs up his sleeve especially when the saffies will still be at least 150 runs shy.

If we do win I think its defiantly gives us rights to claim the tag of tests 'unofficial number one side'

8/261
48 balls left
Johnson on
Good move

[mal]

Who is going to take the other one mal?

9 down at stumps

[The Sleeping Giant]

8 overs. If it was 20 Aussies easy.

[mal]

Just as well the Aussies made those last few runs, will come in handy ..

Philander brings up his 50

[The Sleeping Giant]

Well played Philander.

[carey]

Come on Saffas hold on!

[mal]

Would of declared 400 in front. Give them a sniff. Now SA just play for time.

42 balls left

What an effort by the Africans

[The Sleeping Giant]

Massive effort mal. Even Jim would acknowledge it has been a gutsy performance.

[mal]

well they did bat all day in adelaide a few years back

AB - is just a wall - there is no need for him to score runs, thats not the object



i still think the game will be a draw

it will be the Falafel and Steyn there at the end of the match

39 balls left
8/265

[The Sleeping Giant]

Come on mal. Channel Clarke and get Watson off. Steyn could bat against him for weeks.

[mal]

Peterson 9 [11]
Did his job , got the run rate down
1/12

Whats the required run rate? Should they start putting them on the fence?
