South Africa are my favorites in this series. Australia are as close as talented as this SA team is. And the Aussies are going to be that hungry because they.had their fair share at England.

[Navo]

C'moooooon, is no one watching this match? 24-2. Steyn, Morkel and Philander.

I thought Aus is batting quite well. They never lost a series in SA.

SA didn't bowl well actually. They got favorable conditions but could not exploit it ...

[Naimul_Hd]

Does anyone talk faster than Mike Haysman ?

[Naimul_Hd]

MJ you beauty !! He continues his good form in SA !

SA 23/3

Sadly....Mitchel will upstage Dale Steyn in this duel

[horizon]

So, now you see what SA has missed. I watched India series and concluded SA bowling attack is not that good.

SA proved for second day that their bowling is not so good ...

[simon]

really sad the way SA are losing this, I thought there will be better fight between these two.
Still more games left though.
Mitchel is just too much,

SA batting looks fragile infront of this Aussie attack.
Amla doesn't look to be at his best, Smith/Peterson are not as good as Amla or AB.
Duminy & Faf are not so dependable to deliver on a regular basis,
no JAcques Kallis.
I think Amla & Smith need to use their experience & step up , AB is doing fine, Duminy, Peterson & Faf need to chip in with useful fifties.

[Navo]

I'm really looking forward to a hard scrap in the next two matches. As AB said, you can't be afraid to get hurt. Haven't enjoyed a non-Bangladesh test series like this in a while. Mouth watering stuff.

[Gowza]

johnson was bowling incredibly well, the delivery that got faf out in the 2nd innings was ridiculous.

[Gowza]

with kallis retiring and SA trying to find their best team after kallis' departure i reckon they'd be happy to have pietersen right about now.

[Alvi]

Amla is uncharacteristically out of form. AB can't manage on his own. But SA bowlers must play better than the last time around if they want to win. If they can't bat well they have to make sure Aussies don't either.

[koushik]

What a fightback by SA.
Sa 323/5 Lunch break
