All in all, given that they were 2/250, it's not a terrible effort to have them out for 450 IMO. A better day from the bowlers, with Pattinson especially bowling well. Given how we looked on Friday, it's a much more encouraging sign for the rest of the season, assuming they can continue to dust off the cobwebs.

**** fielding apologists get out

good score from the saffers especially considering one short. weak effort in terms of getting motoring though.

good for australia to see we managed a few wickets. pretty good disciplined bowling for the most part, didn't need to use part timers much, fortunate we got that dodgy lbw though.

yeah run-rate under 3 is not great by any means. If this match is a draw, it's surely got to be more down to that than amazing batting by Aus.

Am forecasting carnage this afternoon with our batting...so hopefully that means we're 0/150 at stumps, and not 5/52

Steyn hurrying the batsmen with balls registering 129kph on the radar.

Does not compute.

I'm not believing those speed guns now
I dunno. Steyn doesn't ever bowl particularly fast anymore, only in occasional spells. If they are short changing the bowlers by 5ks or so, it would mean Pattinson was consistently around 145+, which could be true but probably not. Philander at 128-130 sounds right too.
