The day started with the kangaroos with a lead of 297 with 9 wickets in hand the Huges with his skipper started the day. It was the pointings wicket which started the collapse of the wall for the visitors and in no time the score stood as 207 all out. No one expect huges hold the fort a bit for the visitors but he was lucky not to be judged caught. At the end of the Australians innings we saw the battle between two quicks. Steyn Vs Siddle this time it was steyn with the cherry and siddle with the ball. steyn was returning the favors what siddle was seen handing out to steyn the day before. Siddle stood his ground firm and steyn finally got a wicket of hilfenhaus and the innings was over
Next it was the turn of the proteries. Both McKenzie and Smith started off well adding another 50+ partnership between them yet again for their country. Finally the shekels where broken by Johnson when he removed McKenzie for 35. Smith reached his half century but on 69 he miss quid the length of the ball and pulled it just to miss time the ball high straight into the waiting hands of Johnson. Skippers of both sides showed different reactions, one happy to see his counter part departing and other fumed for playing a wrong shot after all the hard work. End of the day the score stood as 178/2 with Amla on 43 and Kallis on 26. the game is open for all three results. Can SA bring out another magical test win or can the Aussis make this their game or will it be a tame draw. What ever the result we are in for a great game of cricket tomorrow.
