Right, time for one B Lee to stand up, S.A. will be more watchful of Johnno so a huge chance for Lee to get some early wickets and send the South Africans back behind the pickets

Great knock by Haddin, has really shut up the critics(including me) and has put Australia in a great position to win this match.

I can't see South Africa winning from here, the task is just far too big.

Brett Lee really needs to stand up here and get himself into some form, the pressure has now gone off Lee and onto Johnson, the hero of the last innings, many people will expect Johnson to put in another performance like that, but it just aint gonna happen.

Also, if Siddle wants a gig in the side next match, he needs to bowl the best he has ever bowled. If Siddle doesn't take 2 or more wickets, he will be dropped for the next Test match.

414 to win...that's nearly impossible but it's been a crazy test match so I'm still not entirely confident. It would be ridiculous to expect Mitch to come up with another miracle spell so yeah, time for Binga to step up and take some key wickets. Also given how Harris troubled us you'd expect Krazy to play a bit of a role.

Seriously if Mitch tears them apart again...I can't even imagine how awesome that would be.

So far, so good. Good first ball by Lee, he has to dish up a few more of them though.

He's up and about and at the right time too. Pressure from both openers.

The problem is Lee has been pretty good at keeping the clamps on all the time without taking any wickets.

I reckon Ponting should bring Krejza on now, Krejza troubled Smith and we need an early wicket and that might be the way to do it.
