***Official*** Australia in South Africa 2018

**** this send Starceh

During the lunch break they've been showing that Durban test match win by SA against the great Australian side. We were basically 5-0 down. Hansie gate had happened and we had lost captain Pollock and Donald to injuries.

I remember feeling SA should have won the 2nd test going into this one

That RSA bowling attack is dire. Ntini was junk at that stage, Hall was not a test bowler, Adams was junk by that stage, and Terbrugge was an unknown, but was was clearly not going to be a top bowler. The only bowler of proven quality was Kallis. Dead rubber or not it's amazing that RSA won against that AUS lineup, even without the massive deficit.

Hope.... the greatest and worst of human emotions.

[Gob]

Lol this game

Keshav and kg have been brilliant.

Keshav and kg have been brilliant.

Think Philander has been good as well, just not quite got the luck.

Philander has held an end very well.
Weak link has again been morkel.

 

[SeamUp]

Philander has bowled well to his limitations on this wicket but in terms of wicket taking threat Kesh & KG been our go to guys.

 

[SeamUp]

Morkel bowling with some consistency and zip and what do you know....

Any reason for Steyn to be in Mumbai ?

Cos you don't want to be in Chennai

Not that it matters much at this stage but keeping the target to 400 would be a minor victory for the Proteas.

 

[Gob]

Starceh facing Maraj is better

 

[Daemon]

Nice grab from Elgar, hopefully he hasn't injured himself.

 

[shifty_eyes]

South Africa must bat like they have nothing to lose. Amla needs to step up and Markram needs to stop playing silly shots when already set.

 

[Gob]

There is no way RSA getting 300 let alone another hundred

 

[S.Kennedy]

Just saw the highlights. Khawaja there trying to pull a fast one and Elgar making Smith his bunny.

 

[slippy888]

Run rate required is barely 2 runs an over it not really hard if you batted with any sense

 

[Gnske]

Not that it matters much at this stage but keeping the target to 400 would be a minor victory for the Proteas.

I wonder if they'll give up when they get within 10 runs of that target too.
