BARNES OUT
Don't forget Jono, Lee is trash!
Anyways, Lee looking ominous here, he could steal Warney's 5-fa [and his 9-fa
] if he's not careful.

Hey, I've been critical of Lee in the past, and generally he's deserved criticism. But the difference with me compared to the others who have had a go at him is when he performs well I will give credit where credit is due and not claim he is lucky. He's been magnificent in this test match.

Australia need one more wicket right after tea. You'd back them to get Nel and Ntini out before bad light comes if an early wicket occurs, but boy they'd be a bit worried about the light stuffing up their chances. Particularly if Boje and Boucher hang around.
By the way, how cool is Boje? When Warne was telling him to have a go again and drive, he replied asking him to toss it up more. Nicky you champ. :cool

Don't know what the radio guys are smoking, but you'd have to be blind to think Prince wasn't out. The ball bounced off his glove, on to his arm and up in the air, and Hussey caught it a mile off the ground. Not sure where the doubt would have been.parttimer said:

Boje showing some stubborn resistance out there. I guess if you can't do it with the ball you better try and make up for it with the bat.

Aussies are pushing it now, light oriented draw seeming more and more likely.

Lee could not get nel on strike to him.
Bad light causes symonds to come on, not looking too good for the aussies.

I think the light might just save the southies here. Not to mention some fine resilience from boucher and rudolph in particuliar.

WARNEY! Great stuff, 9 down now.
For the first time in a long time I want Australia to win this test. Mainly because they deserve to, but that's never really been a big reason before. I just hate this bad light rule, its so inconsistent and vague. Australia deserve to end this series right now.
Oh and there's the small matter of a bet, but let's just forget that reason

I had a feeling it'd either be the wrong-un or flipper that gets Ntini. You knew he'd want to leave anything outside offstumps, so brilliant thinking to get it spin back in. Warne tried it previously and almost bowled him, this time he gets Ntini LBW with it. Not sure whether it was the right decision, but I thought it was mighty close in real time. I would have probably given it.
Warne was unbelievable today, all you could ask from a bowler. Brilliant stuff.
I win money

Sensational bowling from Warne. Came on when South Africa looked comfortable and turned the match with three before lunch, and then knocked over the last two when it looked a certain draw.
Have to give credit to Boucher as well, fought amazingly hard and deserved to save the game for his team.
Ntini shouldn't have lasted as long as he did - Gilly dropped a tough one and then I think he was caught behind in the next over, but for quite a while it looked like Nel would hang on with Boucher until the end.
