Re: South Africa in Australia
Great effort from Australia but too little too late unfortunately (in terms of the series). Nice to see Siddle showing something with the ball. Bollinger was desperately unlucky, could have had two or three wickets had things gone his way.
Pitch will deteriorate further so Australia will find it tough to score runs but hopefully they'll be able to score enough to be as far in front as possible. Declaration before or after tea would be the go.

Re: South Africa in Australia
Going to be hard to score runs on the last day so any runs scored today to build the lead will be worth gold. A lead over 350 would make it very difficult on this pitch, even in 4 sessions. Would prefer to see it closer to 400 to be safe.
Would imagine seeing South Africa are 2nil up they will chase whatever target to begin with.....maybe.

Re: South Africa in Australia
last innings from hayden? We shall see
Good session, ponting very lucky not to get a golden pair with a leave that struck the bat and missed the stumps....
Good finish to the test series here and if we can take this into the one dayers the SAF tour will be interesting.

If they needed <10 runs I could see him coming in at 11 and trying to give the strike to Ntini. The world number 1 spot is a big carrot for the South Africans and I think if it came down to it they would take the risk
