Unless Ive messed up somehow Amla has never opened at test Level.

AB has in 20 matches with a good average of 36.
True, I'd forgot that AB has opened in tests, I knew he had in ODIs, but obviously thats a totally different thing, surprises me to be honest because he seems such a middle order type player

So how many more runs do South Africa need to still stand a chance in the match?
If they can add another 40 odd & reduce the lead to under 100, it will be a good psychological recovery for them, especially if they can sneak a couple of early wickets.

That would be nice, but Steyn is close to useless with the bat, and - well - Ntini is worse than McGrath. :dry:

As long as they can turn the strike over to Duminy hopefully they can last for awhile. If Duminy gets out then the SA innings is pretty much over.

Can't believe SA are still batting, I mean their bottom 4 combine for an average of barely over 40 and Duminy has given them plenty of strike.

Yup, but Harris & even Steyn certainly aren't complete mud compared to the likes of O'Brien & Martin & the pitch is a road now. Its not quite the unthinkable

Still bleak, but less. Props to Duminy and the tail.

Yay, Warnie @ the lunch break on The Cricket Show. Watched the King of Spin DVD yesterday, was awesome.

Yea but they're no better than number 10, even Morkel although he's decent against seam bowlers I remember him being clueless against Panesar.
