I'm hoping the Aussie's are in a spot of bother with their batting lineup. Khawaja looks miles out of form , Marnus isn't an opener and Green at 3 is bizarre. But they aren't really producing the talent either opener wise unless they're going to take some big gambles.

Because you've been deemed important enough by the cricketing clique to receive them. If you no longer wish to do so then click on the star in the top right hand corner.
That decision by SA not to review Webster's LBW when he was on 8 (and went on to make 72) could end up being the difference between winning and losing.
In a game of small margins, how can SA bowl 20 no balls. That's 18 more than Australia bowled albeit that they have only been in the field once to date. It's all of their seamers too which suggests that they don't worry about the line in practice either. Michael Holding will be apoplectic.
SA having a bit of a mare here. Got Lyon out early but the 10th wicket partnership are adding runs. Lead is over 250 and Hazlewood has 10. Starc on track for a 50.
This is proving to be an absolutely fascinating Test match. And we're into a phase where the more runs Australia score, the more likely they are to win; but the longer they bat, the more likely they are to lose.
No doubt that will confuse some; but it's one reason why Test cricket is the best format of the game.

Love watching the convicts struggle
I guess they wanted a wicket that would produce a result and they have over done it.

213-2 and just another 69 more to win tomorrow morning
What a day for Markram, he got the final Aussie wicket today as well. He looked emotionally spent by the end!
Chasing the best part of 300 the Ausies were odds on to win.
I stopped betting many years ago.
