Over halfway there now, I think this is where Kallis and de Villiers are getting on top for the team again, saw off Lee and will look to finish off well tonight.

Now we're at about the same stage as we were last innings, before Johnson saved us.

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


A risk to us as we couldn't really afford to leak runs if no wickets fell. Also with Kallis I trying to put the mocker on. Seems it hasn't worked. :(

Anyways imo this match will go one of two ways and we should know which pretty early on. Either South Africa will hold firm this morning and cruise to victory, perhaps losing a wicket or two when its too late, or one or two will fall early and they'll crumble under the pressure.

Well done South Africa, really well deserved win, have smashed us in this Test, people are now starting to see the effects of all the retirements recently, I told you so, Ponting isn't a good captain, all you Smith bashers have now seen how good a captain and player he is, Australia will be in for some lean times ahead, something I predicted two years ago, now coming to fruition....
