Martyn on fire here..

A few lucky escapes for Hussey in the morning. Two close LBW calls, one of which was probably out and wasn't given because the umpire thought it was bat-pad instead of pad-bat. Then he was caught behind and given not out. Only doubt on the catch was that Boucher didn't seem to be too sure it carried, judging by his half-hearted appeal.
Martyn and Hussey looking good now though. Going to be a very interesting finish, and Australia will been Symonds and Gilchrist to contribute if they are going to get there.

That session put Australia very much in the box seat, you'd have to say.
It's a new ball wicket still, so the second new ball will be South Africa's last chance to really make a run at winning the game. It's still 23 overs away though, so it's unlikely to come long before stumps, and at the rate Martyn and Hussey are scoring now they'll be within 50 or so comfortably.
So I'd say South Africa need at least a couple of wickets before the new ball to have a real chance.

Marto and Huss...excellent. I really like this partnership. Both excellent techniques and well equipped with the understanding what to leave and what to play. Must seem daunting to bowlers to try and get them out. Well also, in fairness, Huss has got lucky more than his fair share this game.

Very unlikely. Hussey is an incredible athlete who can dominate attacks and do no wrong. Clark is a steady performer who will do well at times like here against South Africa but never do anything really spectacular, just enough to stay in the team.aussie said:i think he made a duck in the VB series, but he has been totally superb, i got a feeling Clark in the next year is going to do with the ball what Hussey has done with bat.
Who's this female commentator on ABC Grandstand? She sounds attractive.

AND HE DOES!Jono said:Massive call here, but my man Nicky Boje to be the match-winner for SA.
If I win the Greig award so be it, but watch out for Nicky. He foxed the master Hussey in the first innings, he can do it again
Whooo
Okay maybe not te match-winner bit, but he got Hussey again
