SA vs Aus - 2nd Test match

Oh no that painful band has started just when I thought they'd either been banned or disappeared!

18/10 SA win looks appealing. Had small nibble with the Sharks handicap...just under 4.5/1

Tipster, when they start up I turn the sound off on the TV and just watch the picture. I wonder if they still only know Scatman's World?

Shot. I am hoping for my draw bet to come home, but it will be a lot clearer once i see how the aussies do on the pitch

that band makes the atmosphere at the ground. Prefer that coming through on the TV anytime over those shitty vuvuzulus

I'm with you - on this pitch he is the only one who could have bowled us to victory - draw at any price a great bet

Good test to win !!

SA should not lose from this position so at least even if its a draw they are still in the series come the last test. Big big afternoon session coming up and hoping for around 90 runs in the session then smash it around for 8 overs after tea and declare then go full out at them for 20 overs.

Agree need at least 15 overs at the end of the day. Hopefully the light holds or we might see Faf and Duminy opening the bowling.
