Morning all, just walked in from the usual irrigation problem that have been plaguing me all morning, to see Amla flailing his way to 100 and more 4’s as well. What a turn around from yesterday!
only 22 to win. I have missed the whole of the match so far. Was hoping to relax over the w/e to some test cricket, but looks like thats off the agenda now!
Jacka’s commenting about the good crowd, they’ll all have to go home in a few minutes!
MOM? – Smith, Amla, Philander, Watson or Clark? Philander for me, some superb bowling in the Aus second innings, and really brought SA back into the game
Amla finally succumbs, well deserve standing ovation for a brilliant knock
Amla Out!!!! 112 what an innings
222/2
need 14 runs to win!!!
13 to win and Smith needs 10 to get his century
good 4, smith now on 94!!!! only need 9 to win
228/2 need 8 to win
230/2 need 6 to win and Smith needs 5
Brilliant 4 Smith 99 not out, kort net een and we need 2 to win the match
Smith on strike needing one, ball down leg, and Kallis turns down the run. Good on him
He needs to do it this over
3 centuries in a match, and the match over in 2.5 days. 4 innings in one day, 23 wickets in one day. This must go down in history as the weirdest test match ever
Smith 100…need 1 to win
….and win by 8 wickets. Unbelievable, and a boring w/e ahead
Post match comments going to be interesting
Wooohooooo Proteas won 236/2
So neuk mens die convicts op!!!
Very Weird JFK!!!!
Scintillating to watch. Who says 5 day tests are boring? hahahaha
Good stuff!!!! Great day for a saffa celebrating in some foreign land.
This calls for for some homemade brew, 47% proof, Proteas on top……and a Malema ko on the same day, mooi man !!!! 🙂
@ Tripples:This match has been an absolute emotional rollercoaster
Clarke very humble in defeat
Smith’s got a long way to win me over!
And Philander gets MOM, well done him, let there be many more
Well, thats it, just the F1 to look forward to this w/e. Have a great one. Cheers
Sorry guys, just had to help out a FUSER hehehe
Have to greet you, what a day what a game!!!!!
Enjoy your weekends!!!
Well done South Africa.
Well done to Amla and Smith. Great knock from both.
Just watched the highlights after the break. Missed most of the cricket again. Far to busy today.
Sorry gbs, was going to do the scoring here, but got hectic busy and still have a teleconference later today.
201@ Pietman:Hope you enjoying that homemade brew Piet…hehe. 🙂
