Stating the bleeding obvious, but a wicket or two in the remaining hour or so tonight would make all the difference.

If Safs are only 1 down at stumps they should be favourites tomorrow.

Come on you idiot saffies!

At 1/113, it would have been a walk in the park if RSA were chasing 270 odd.

The extra 150 runs that the last three Australian wickets put on should tilt the game in their favour.

by doremi Sat 20 Dec 2008, 09:00

BTW, is Clark injured?

Horrie is having the barry to end all barries - Australia's last four innings have all been top scored by either Hadds or Kat.

Looks like we're about to see another successful 400+ run chase...

by Fred Nerk Sat 20 Dec 2008, 09:26

Chopper Siddle's gone bouncer happy - the bowling does look a bit innocuous at the moment.

by JGK Sat 20 Dec 2008, 09:28

What's the weather forecast for tomorrow?

by JGK Sat 20 Dec 2008, 09:31

On the upside, Sooky's matchwinning double ton should shut Red for good.

Hehe, how sad. I was just wondering the same thing.

Crazy seems incapable of bowling a pie-free over.

by skully Sat 20 Dec 2008, 09:33

taips is notable by his absence. In the time-honoured dressing room tradition, maybe he is refusing to move off the couch. Cool

by skully Sat 20 Dec 2008, 09:35

From the BoM site:

Forecast for Sunday
Fine and partly cloudy. Moderate to fresh S'ly winds.

Drat.

by Fred Nerk Sat 20 Dec 2008, 09:36

Forecast is fine and 24.

Re Smith and Red: Remind me: after which of Steve Waugh's 30-odd centuries did Horrie shut his cakehole?

by skully Sat 20 Dec 2008, 09:36

FFS, give Midge a bowl. At least his 140+ is better than the low 130 pies Siddle is bowling ATM.

Sort of the new MacGill without the wicket taking ability.

by JGK Sat 20 Dec 2008, 09:38

Ponting doesn't even look like he knows how to get Smith out now. He's waiting for him to make a mistake.

God I miss Pidge.

by JGK Sat 20 Dec 2008, 09:39

Ton for Sooky.

Now get the farker out.

by Fred Nerk Sat 20 Dec 2008, 09:40

Johnno on, and 10 off four balls later Smith has his ton. Captain Lamebrain looking puzzled.in slips.

by philcric Sat 20 Dec 2008, 09:40

Well played Smith.

SA might be on to something really special here.

I hope its really close either way.

by Fred Nerk Sat 20 Dec 2008, 09:46

Four bowlers in six overs - has he got any idea?

Chopper in the field makes Tuffers look like Symonds. He can barely throw as far as he bowls/

by Fred Nerk Sat 20 Dec 2008, 10:01

JOHNNOOOO!!!!!!!

The Dominator pins Smith to his stumps for 108.

by skully Sat 20 Dec 2008, 10:02

Huz-farkin-zah. Well bowled Midge. Congrats on his first Test 10-fer.

by skully Sat 20 Dec 2008, 10:02

Now c'monnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, another one before Stumps to sow the seed.

by Fred Nerk Sat 20 Dec 2008, 10:08

50 to Amla
