So we'll lead by a small handful....good match this.

People are focusing on the collapse because it's obvious, but both sides have bowled brilliantly apart from one session from SA last night. It's kinda nice to see bowlers dominating for once.

It's been over 11 years since Freddie Flintoff destroyed Australia in the 2005 Ashes.

And yet in a beautfiully poetic way, he's still f**king the Aussies over because of the mad, insane 11 year quest for an all-rounder of their own which he sent the Aussie selectors on.

When you consider Steyn out for most of the innings, you have to give it to SA on points so far.

This test could come down to which team has the better spinner come 3rd and 4th innings'

Imagine that 20 years ago at the WACA

I'll back Siddle to spin us to victory from here!

ZING!!!!!!!!

Crediting hineyrulz for the SIddle/Spinner gag!!!

Not one batsmen besides the openers getting out of the 20s has more impact IMO.
As I said our batting has been shocking but that call to fire our best player was a huge call and changed the game. And then again when Nev was playing well and putting on a partnership with Siddle he is fired.

We lost 10 for 70, which is disgraceful no matter how poor the umpiring.

They found a pretty good one, his one real flaw was a weakness against inswing bowling and a tendency to play around his front pad. So they had him open the batting because that makes perfect sense

Pretty much all square. The rest of today is crucial. Amla is key.

What the very f**k???

I finished work expecting to turn on to see us sailing past the total with five or six in hand at worst.
