Even if you get Amla, there are others who have some backbone and will fight. Our guys have to forget about the way they pushed over the Poms, the Yarpies are a completely different proposition.

Poor selection by South Africa to pick a bowling allrounder(Mclaren) to replace Kallis..........DuPlessis should have been left at No 6 where he has been making runs and then another poor decision to bowl by Smith, add an important catch that should have been taken by Amla(Marsh) and you have a 1-0 victory to Aus coming up.
Its the 1% mistakes you make that cost you bigtime when teams are evenly matched like these two are...

Not a bad summation Elwood... i'd add that Johnson was pretty fearsome in his opening spell last night. The deliveries to Smith and Faff were ripsnorters.

I don't know who told him to bowl very fast and try to hit them in the head but it has been a bloody masterstroke.

South Africa all out for 206. We lead by 191. Now its time to knuckle down and build a total they can't catch. We have a huge upper hand here and not winning this one easily will be a joke. Keep them on the ropes and make them sweat. ;)

Getting AB out before getting the ton up was great too!
Finals, then 4 in a row!

If we can get a century from a player or two in the next innings, it could be the mental edge that helps us for the series. AB missing out is icing on the cake.  ;)

With the exception of de Villiers, the South Africans haven't shown too much backbone  :o

I'll put my hand up to believing that Johnson should never play Test cricket again  :-[  What a revelation he's been since getting a recall.  It just shows that the most accomplished batsmen can be unsettled by accurate, very fast bowling, particularly if the other quicks can maintain the pressure.

Warner's had a bit of luck and could now be in for a big score.

The South Africans must be demoralised and putting catches down will hurt them even more  :)

Davey on song for a ton and Doolan warranting his selection against the worlds number one team as we look to secure the first test. A dream result in any pundits wildest imagination.

At the risk of pre-judging this Test and ending up with egg on face, where is the South Africans' so-called backbone?
