How about the South African batting this time around! Amla's scoring at more than a run a ball - and on 99 at stumps. Whoever bowls the first ball tomorrow morning is going to come at him like a bloody steam train.
Australia's going to need an incredible bowling effort tomorrow to stay in the game though. If the Proteas put on another 127, Australia will have to make history to win (the highest successful fourth innings run chase to date being 418). If the Proteas put on another 160, then Australia reaaaallly will have to make history to win (only two teams have ever scored more than 450 batting fourth - New Zealand lost with 451 on the board, and England scored 654 to play out a draw). Furthermore, Australia's only broken 400 three times in fourth innings, the best of those three was just 406, and they lost two out of those three times. So yeah, suddenly history and statistics have swung dramatically in favour of South Africa. But with THREE WHOLE DAYS to play, anything could happen, and if a record's going to fall, well, now's the time.
PS You know what's annoying? New Zealand's got three of the five highest fourth innings scores, but we lost every bloody time anyway!
