I am almost too scared to follow this too closely today. I need to focus on my work and not the dread of each run against the lads.

For me, our position in this test is this; unless the Aussies do a massive mega monumental choke, the game is theirs. Now is damage control and keep the loss to face-saving terms.

Yeah, we're cooked... staring a substantial 1st innings deficit in the face... batters on day 1, decided our fate for us. Should have, could have, would have posted 420-450...

Anyway, one way or another, Aussie would expect a lead of 80-120 which leaves us with a mountain to climb in our 2nd innings... good batting conditions but the psychological burden of a 100 run deficit can't be under estimated.

It would take a very poor SA performance for Aus to win this. A draw is currently the most likely outcome.
 
Not starting with KG? Thought with the requirement for early wickets, you start with your two best options...
