What makes you say that, he has had a very poor year form wise, so the odds of him making a hundred are very slim. But you never know on a wicket like this, so far the batsmen have batted pretty well on it. If we get Kallis, we will win, if Kallis makes anything over 50, we will lose.

Mitch Johnson has been our hero this Test, has picked up 10 wickets now, our other bowlers need to bowl like him.

FIRE UP BOYS!

10 wickets out of 12 is incredible. He might need 18 if we are to win though.

RSA 2/179.

The beauty is, there is still plenty of time to pick up a few more wickets. If we can have them 4 for by the end of tonight, it would really set it up for us tomorrow. Amla looks comfortable, I think Kallis could be the one to get. We might as well leave it all up to Magic Johnson...... :roll:

Lee has Amla!!!!! caught behind for 53.

RSA 3/179.

LEE STRIKES FINALLY!!! COME ON AUSSIE!!!!!

**** yeah, what a delivery. Fire up son!!! We're back!!

Amla gone, 3/179

What a delivery!!!! Excellent bowling by the Aussies here, MJ and Lee both with lovely deliveries to remove the two set batsmen. Come on Aussies!!

by **hearts on fire** » Sat Dec 20, 2008 8:46 pm

Finally Lee has one, has bowled well this innings and finally has a reward.

We are on top now, one more and we will seal the deal!

by **hearts on fire** » Sat Dec 20, 2008 8:47 pm

Next ball, Lee bowls a massive bouncer........ 4 byes.........

RSA 3/183.

RSA need 231 runs to win.

Haha I thought he edged that, did the old leap off the couch and everything.

Everything is happening at the WACA at the moment, shy at the stumps but not out. Australia are getting on top here, are very alive in the field and is great to watch.

This is the best Test match i have seen in my life, it has had a bit of everything, wickets, a few runs and superb fielding. This is the way cricket should be played, India should be watching this and take a few notes.

RSA 3/184.

RSA need 230 runs to win.

Kallis almost lost his head from a bouncer from Johnson :lol:

Kallis was flat on his arse with his helmet all mangled up :lol:

beautiful cricket!

RSA 3/186

Right on the back foot, just like the first part of the innings. With what has happened in this Test so far, I reckon South Africa will get on top again, but for how long.

This is one of the latest (if not the latest) finish to a days play I have seen. The Melbourne Test in 1998 in which England won went until the match was finished on the fourth (I think) day, which was well past 7pm local time. Bill Lawry almost had a heart attack on a few occasions.

by **hearts on fire** » Sat Dec 20, 2008 9:08 pm

It's certainly is great to watch and if it is light enough, i think they should keep playing.

The sun is out and everyone can see the ball, so why not IMO.

by **FD88** » Sat Dec 20, 2008 9:10 pm

de Villiers is the thorn in the side atm.

by **spell_check** » Sat Dec 20, 2008 9:10 pm

In that Melbourne Test, the shadows creeping on the pitch was the only issue, they are getting very close now here.

by **hearts on fire** » Sat Dec 20, 2008 9:12 pm

hmm... yes... one end of the pitch is covered in shadow, but i don't think it's too much of a worry.

One more wicket would be so sweet.

by **FD88** » Sat Dec 20, 2008 9:18 pm

Krazy is a big risk at this stage.

A risk to the Australian's of getting smashed or a risk to the South African's of getting a wicket?
