If these two can bat through at this rate, we'll have a competitive score.

Don't want to jinx them now, but I heard on the radio this morning that the two other times we won the toss (2nd T20 & 2nd ODI), and elected to bat, we lost the game.
Let's hope it's not a trend...

By no means a unreachable by the Aussies. Let's see if our (new) bowlers can step up to the plate.

what doe you guys think... reckon thats enough?

We dont have the same bowlers we did in the other games, no Steyn, no Nitini with 2 young guys on debut. I reckon we can do it, but wont be all that easy. Need early wickets I reckon.

Wow, what an incredible last 10 overs! Been following on Cricinfo, and really looking forward to the next few hours. :)

I think we can do it. Botha will enjoy this wicket.

EDIT: Wrong van Jaarsveld. :D

For the record, the highest successful run chase at WACA is 274 (Pakistan vs Australia in '87; 1 ball remaining) - the highest successful Australia victory was 234 against Sri Lanka in 2006 (with 54 balls to spare). 289 is the 6th highest target to be set here.

Get Parnell bowling already! It would be great to have BOTH lefties operating. Has that ever happened?
