The game will boil down to what Australia defend the next 50 runs.If they can nip a couple off,they`ll have momentum going into the final leg of the chase.If they do not do that, it`ll all go downhill from there on with the bowlers fagging and the batsmen relieved of the pressure.

Did Symonds bowl today? I missed the first half an hour.

Luck is even also with these Proteas : inside edge but no harm to Kallis or stumps

OH! So close to being knocked on Kallis's stumps. Tutt tutt tutt. What a match, luck isnt going the aussies way.

 

[aditya123]

Taylor for some reason feels the need to compare this to a AUS v SRL game where Warnie cleaned Sri Lanka up.I see no one capable of doing a Warne here.
I see a lot more similarity to the India v England test at Chennai last week.As I said, Kallis will have to play the Sachin role and AB to play the Yuvraj role.The wicket is also a lo better than the last day Chennai wicket.SA should win it from here.

If South Africa wins today, this will be the highest runchase ever in Test matches or not?

Johnson gets the wicket of Kallis. 111 runs and 6 wickets are left.

This is Duminy's chance to grab his chance.

Don`t you feel other sides would have had similar sort of bad-luck going their way when the Aussies were dominating test-cricket ?
As I post, there goes Kallis.Hopefully, the Proteas won`t choke.I would like to see Boucher come ahead of Duminy.

 

[Griffo]

WOOOO!

Good stuff

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Thats a absolute ripper by Hussey :happy Johny Boy :happy now we will only have to attack Duminy and co. Leave AB Devillers

Johnson gets the wicket of Kallis.

It will be the 2nd highest.The West Indies hold the record for the highest run chase of 420.

 

[punterpupnroy]

Got Kallis out, good work aussies. Nice catch from Hussey, cmon australia!

 

[ZexyZahid]

It will be the 2nd highest.The West Indies hold the record for the highest run chase of 420.

I thought that one was 411 runs.

I just checked. That one was a runchase of 418 runs: http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/64027.html So this will be indeed the second highest runchase.

I thought that one was 411 runs.

I just checked. That one was a runchase of 418 runs: Cricinfo - 4th Test: West Indies v Australia at St John's, May 9-13, 2003 So this will be indeed the second highest runchase.

It could be the highest if SA manage to hit a six with the score on 413.

 

[ZexyZahid]

It has been 42 years ago that South Africa won a Test series against Australia. It has been 15 years ago that South Africa won a Test match against Australia.

Kallis' wicket really slowed things down.

The required runs are now under 100 runs.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

This match will be finished beofre the tea session, whether we take wickets or not Need to get De Villiers. Boucher is also a tough customer so won't be easy to get rid of him.
