Funny that the pitch was predicted to be great for batting and yet both teams have managed to make a royal hash of their innings.

Not Terrible
Imagine collapsing AFTER the Steyn injury. Makes it even more hilarious.

Important to note Burgey's gone missing here btw.
Think he's in a helicopter snorting cocaine off an extremely attractive woman in a pilot costumes thigh.

Whatever it takes!!!
Gotta be a special kinda lollapse when you do that to just 3 fit bowlers and 1 of them is basically a kid and the other is a debutant. And the 3rd is gonna make some CWers eat crow.. :p


Do think Australia easily ahead though, given Steyn is unlikely to be able to bowl again. Unless the track starts to help spinners suddenly in the 4th innning, in which case, Maharaj, Faf, Duminy and Elgar can be quite the quartet. :)

Man this is usually where Amla goes BANG! Match is in the balance, and he's going to politely **** Australia up

It's clearly not a complete road though. The pacers have got a little bit of seam movement in both innings. The batting's been diabolical for the most part apart from QdK and Warmer, but it's definitely not a highway.

Haha, what delicious mediocrity. And fully deserved when you pick Marsh at 6. Well done Saffers.

Yeah it's a total replay of Perth 2012 so far, where both first innings were around 250 and Amla came out and bitchslapped Australia out of the series.

No AB to downhill ski this time though. :p

Super pleasing fight back that. Built pressure from both ends after the brain fade yesterday !

Also pleased for Keshav because I have been praising him for about 12-18 months now as the most improved cricketer on our domestic circuit. It showed it today with his maturity. Considering we have him and the ever-improving Shamsi with x-factor - I think we could have found our future test spinners in both of them.

Zero overs from Duminy BTW. He's playing as a specialist number 4, which is ****ing woeful. He's definitely going to have to bowl in the second innings with Steyn gone.

Result is inevitable of this match, SA needs bat their heart out

With the absence of AB stage is all set for amla to show his class
