4 for 86, looks like they're stabilising. This partnership could drag the entire team out of trouble.

South Africa all out for 206. Australia currently 1 for 166 with a lead of 357.
Saffas have dropped Warner three times, and wasted a review on him in sheer desperation.
Amazing scenes!

Re: The Cricket Thread (...and other sport)
Warner's finally out on 115.
Australia 2 for 206 with a lead of 397. How appropriate.
We should bat for as long as possible tomorrow and aim for 500 before putting the Saffas back in.

Australia declares on 4 for 290. SA need 483 to win.
I reckon Clarke should have pushed it above 500. Saffas have a nasty habit of chasing big scores.
