South Africa beat Aussies

[glyn]

Second highest run chase ever, they win by six wickets. amazing

This surely confirms that the Aussies are simply part of the pack now, and that India are probably number one in all but ranking.

Since the highest run chase ever is also against the Aussies they'll be getting a reputation about their inability to defend large targets now :icon_wink

Bloody hell, I thought it wouldn't be possible. Great going

Always good to see the Aussies beaten!!

Only slightly better than seeing SA lose.

 

[Brauny Blue]

20 years of domination ending.

Bring on the Ashes

Between SA and India now for top spot, although i still feel India need to win a series against one of the big ones away from home.

Aussies in control of the 2nd test. SA will do well to get out of this one.

Even in their weakened state the Aussies still have some battling qualities - see their recovery from a perilous day 1 position in this test and the tail wagging in the first test to set SA that target.

180 run 9th wicket partnership gives SA a first innings lead!

Duminy 166 and Steyn makes 76, only his 3rd ever first class 50.

If the Aussies lose this after being in such a commanding position, then the wheels will have well and truly come off.

Looks like they will :icon_lol:

Ponting scored 101 and 99 in the test and will be on the losing side!

Australia 394 & 247
South Africa 459 & 30/0 (6.0 ov)
South Africa require another 153 runs with 10 wickets remaining

I stayed up and watched the first 2 sessions when duminy and steyn were in.

They never looked like getting out either. Aussie's are in trouble i reckon. They need to blood some new faces before the ashes or i reckon there really gonna be in the shit even against us pommes.

The only players deserving of a place at the mo are katich, ponting, clarke, haddin and johnson. everyone else is struggling like hell. Siddle looks ok but they need clark back

It really looks like we are witnessing the end of Aussie domination. I hope also they struggle for years after the misery they have inflicted on us.
Will Australia lose their no1 ranking after two consecutive test series defeats

 

[Tamworth Fox]

South Africa win by 9 wickets and win the series

If South Africa win the last last test they will be ranked no.1 in the world.
