The batsmen who scares me the most is Jansen .....a run a ball 50 or 60 could put the Saffas out of reach

Anything beyond 180 will be tough ....not impossible though

Not necessarily, you knock over Head and Renshaw early your expecting a pretty inexperienced batting line up to win a series on foreign turf , not easy

how good is test cricket though,
it has been a great test match and series
so good and competitive

this new zealand series should be a cracking series too, normally the kiwi's come over here and crap the bed in test series

Not sure the Kiwis batting or bowling will match up well against Australia in Australia

Not sure if they can win coming first up at Optus , that will be their best chance
If the 1st Test was at Adelaide ,SCG or MCG different story

As usual last 2 years Lyon no wickets in morning session .He just doesn't spin us to wins lately .
Only morning wicket to Cummins his first in over 360 balls
Pre lunch 1-62 off 28 overs
Since lunch 0-30 off 6 overs
SA 5 -232 ( 132 ahead )
Still good batting wicket
Pity at toss we opted to bat 4th

We need another Starc like performance with the new ball. If the Proteas weather the storm they shouldn’t lose.

1st hour after lunch SA 0-55
TODAY 1-117 ( 42 overs )
Not looking good
We might have to bat well on day 5 just to draw the test

Aussies on the edge!
A wicketless session and century stand from South Africa has seen the hosts take control on Day 4 in Cape Town.

SA have enough runs for their spinner to have a real shot at us. Renshaw and Head are our big hope, but for me SA will win this by a few, our batting is shaky at the best of times
