Well alf if he does not get a double century we lose the game.

I think this test match is in the hands of kallis getting a massive total, either him or AB need to kick on towards a double century.

There is not much left after these 2, a couple more okes and we hit our tail. Sure hope smith can recover enough to bat if needed.

If we bat out the day, we should be able to get all the runs aswell... We need to bat just above 3 rpo...

I think we should bat for the draw and keep out wickets, if we see that we have a chance for a win in the last session that we should push forward and give it a shot. We want to WIN the series... But ofcourse a draw is better than a lost.

Lol, if we pull of the seemingly impossible today I will be very very impressed.

Lets just bat normally and see where we are come tea time then reassess. The key will be that aus will get 2 new balls. One first up today and then at the end of the day. Pitch is difficult with the new ball but okay when it gets soft.

+1 We should not play just to survive because thats what was our undoing in the first test match. If we just bat normally we might even be able to put some pressure back on the aussies at the end of the day if all goes well.

And so it begins. Off to a nice start, 5 runs off first over. Go boys. Im scared of johnson, if we can get through his opening spell we shud be sweet.

If we play to survive this test is over.

Come on boys get the runs ticking over and do not get bogged down and lose your wickets.

+1 killa. From the start it looks as if we going for it, which is great. Our guys are looking like they never left the crease.

Why did he play at the ball.... It was way outside... Could have just left it...

Yeah now we are foooooooked :(

We needed to last out the morning session with no more than one wicket falling.

We are dead.

I have faith in duminy, but he has no-one else that can stay with him and score runs... I bet u smith will come out if we desperatly need him
