Fantastic knock from Faf there, good effort from our bowlers, just couldnt get through, not Patto hurt especially early today.

Think we might get rolled in Perth tbh

Great test match and one of the great knocks from Faf Du Plessis. You won't see many better match-saving knocks than that.

Disappointing draw! but awesome stamina shown from Siddle to bowl so many overs and take 4 wickets. Take his advice and eat more vegetables.

what a captivating final day, almost the opposite of the first day. South Africa had been outplayed here and in Brisbane, but they have refused to give up and it has paid off. I have never been so excited about a draw.

So pleased with Faf's batting in both innings, so pleased with Morne in this match, there was a lot of pressure on his bowling in the first innings but he answered it and took 5 wickets. Smith's captaincy was ordinary, but he continues his impressive record of centuries and not losing. This test match was amazing for the way it played out, and went to show that it's not over til it's over and on this last day South Africa played to that very well. I think Australia were hurt by Pattinson's absence ...

Almost forgot to mention Steyn, he appears to have recovered from his illness and the fire is back, he should kill it in Perth, I expect a 5fer from Vernon in Perth too. Amla doesn't fail too many time in a row so he should produce runs in Perth. And I am really excited for Perth and still quite pumped from the finish to this test

Final day was a dud advertisement for this format really.

Good drama but boring action. Aussies missed Pattinson big time.

148 overs

9 hours

no hope in hell of achieving the ultimate goal: ie winning

South Africa put up the stonewall!!!!



As Gandalf the grey once said on Jrr Tolkien:

You Shall Not Pass!!!!

And the Australians should not pass!!!!

The American audience will ask: so Australia did not win? South Aftica still needed to score 183 more runs with no time left in the game? *facepalm*
