Well SA choked themselves here, with impending rain chasing could've been much better option here!
Yeah, I really don't get why both sides wanted to bat first. Hayden apparently said he thought it was a 300+ pitch which he is now walking back in the comm box.

Aus playing well.
It's a bit of both. Australia have been outright oppressive in the field and Starc and Haze have been bowling very well, but SA could have held on to one or two of those wickets and been set for 240 instead of being happy with 200.

It's been brutal bowling though. Very hard to score from with Australia's fielding.

Yeah, no game of cricket has ever been won from this position after all

I don't know why half the people who've posted in the subbie actually bother with cricket
Absolutely this. Sometimes in sports one team gets on a role and just steamrolls the opposition with no respite. Like Brock Lesnar vs John Cena at Summer slam 2014.

But sometimes one side racks up a huge lead and you'd consider mercy ruling it. But then the other side pulls out something special at the end to come back and win. Like Brock Lesnar vs John Cena at Extreme Rules 2012.
