it ain't over till it's over. Whilst highly unlikely, it can happen. I am sure when Australia broke 400 against SA in a one dayer everyone wrote SA off, but they got it.

If you look at the aussie batting if they all perform to the peak of their ability then of course 600 is on the cards in the chase, but lets be honest here, the chances are very slim, but hey good luck to them, will certainly be an interesting next 2 days. I am sure they will play to win at first and if it looks like they can't they will play for the draw much like SA did.

not to mentionbeing the biggest choke in SA history


oh well we can dream in the moment

Much as I despise all things South African (exampt Kallis, Amla and Phlander :D), it's improbable... but in terms of remarkable it would be right up there with India beating you lot after following on...

With it being for the World No. 1 Ranking. As far as I'm concerned if they make the 632 to win then we deserve to be #1

I've had a feeling for a while that this would happen. Australia have been the better team for the first 2 Tests, but have been blown out of the series over a couple of days. Very unfortunate.

If ever there was a game for Ed Cowan to stand up and really establish himself as a Test opener, it is this one.

And if ever there was a game to demonstrate why Warner isn't a Test opener, it was this one. He is as rash as our openers.
