South Africa in Australia

Re: South Africa in Australia

Kallis edges behind for 63. 5/237 now and that's another double breakthrough for the Aussies.

Johnson has four wickets now, going to be a star in my opinion. Two new batters at the crease, Duminy on debut and now Boucher.
 
Re: South Africa in Australia

Another for Johnson!! Short ball from Mitch is awkward for Duminy who tries to fend away but it pops up and Haddin takes an easy catch heading towards short fine-leg.

6/238, Johnson has 5/42!
 
Re: South Africa in Australia

All I can say is WOW

Johnson!!!! WOuld be great to see him get 2 more and the unbelievable figures of a 9 fa!!!
 
Re: South Africa in Australia

Just trying to fire him up Mousey:p

No, he made me eat my words, severely. But you have to admit, most of his wickets before this point were lucky ones. He had probably 4 or 5 out of the seven that were great balls and thinking, the rest I believe he was lucky to get.

But good on him, fantastic to see someone with a bit of fire.
 
Re: South Africa in Australia

I think Australia's very strong tail is the difference between us and most teams, it gets us that extra hundred runs which will most likely decide the match, or if we get beaten severely, it helps us keep up.

I hope so! Nah if they could go on to make 300 it would make this match alot more interesting. It's been a fantatic test match and I'd rather see a great 5 day epic then a quick 4 day win.
 
Re: South Africa in Australia

Didn't realise it was stumps, with that in mind they should be able to put another 30/40 runs on I'd have thought.
 
Re: South Africa in Australia

At this rate I'd say us Aussies will win this but you never know...

1)south Africa could have a bit of a tail wag (I think this would be less likely)

2)australia's top order will collapse for a low score like SA's middle order collapsed after the breaking of the partner ship.

Opinions anyone?

Definitely could happen. Australia still need to take the last 2 wickets pretty quickly. We should end up with a lead of at least 100. From there we could still definitely lose it. We'll need a much improved effort form Hayden, Ponting and Hussey.


Johnson's spell of bowling was one of the best i've seen. To get 5 wickets so quickly is just amazing.
