Draw is currently 3.5 which is starting to look short, especially with both top sixes looking vulnerable. A few showers about but nothing major imo.
SA have not lost here since 2006, and the only team they have lost to in Cape Town since reintegration in 1993 is Aus!
Last first class game was a few weeks ago. It was a four day game - Cobras v Lions. It lasted approx 2 1/2 days.

For a number 11, Morne Morkel is probably one of the better Number 11's coming in right now

Probably the only number 11 coming in now. How many do they have?
Thought they would be shorter than this but profit in the bag for 3rd time this afternoon, tempted to let it run as think Aus are certs now,any backers at 1.74 could do worse. Not even injury time yet!
bloody hell...
well played aus... unlucky sa on not holding on

Amazing what happens when you bowl at the stumps with a swinging ball.

AUSTRALIA BEAT THE BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD, AT THEIR HOME GROUND
and people said Australia as a cricket team was on the decline

time to get into the west indies thread, chargeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
The consistent thing about this series, is the number of spectacularly stunning ladies getting about. That place has to be on my bucket list.
australia are an impressive side , the resurgence continues
if they can get a result against India in India, beat England in England (next Ashes) id say they would be
Never a doubt !!
Sweet divine I would go so far as to say that is not worth it for the sake of £400. Been to hell and back all day and then like death the end comes suddenly. Missed a whole days to work to sweat that out

AMAZING.....CRICKET MATCH. Don not bet much on cricket and did not here. But I did not rate the AUSSIES after the Ashes', as I felt England were just rubbish.
Maybe they are coming back to the top. That was like the Aussies at their pomp. Great entertainment,

Is it just me or has Darren Lehmann put on a few pounds since retirement?
South Africa have to be still the best by far in my book.
Aus are 2-3 batsmen short.
By far the best team to watch though. Will always attack for the win no matter their place in world cricket.

Incredible record ends for South Africa. Been donkey years since they last lost a series.
it happens alot in sport ,when the underdog for so long ( saffer draw ), finally gets in front , the pressure always seems to switch
I think with the retirements of Kallis and Smith and a lack of a quality spinner, means South Africa are pegged back in world cricket. Australia better team for me
I guess that is why Test cricket is still the Blue Riband of Sport. What entertainment, better than any session in the Gym for us Armchair viewers!
Both teams have 'that never say die attitude' , the will to 'win for their country'.
Australia should win the T20's. Look to have a very good team.
harris is one of the most underrated bowlers in world cricket
Warner/Clarke, Smith will be top shelf. Not much around that. Rogers due for retirement before he began, Doolan? Haddin ready to pull the plug.
Lyon very good imo, but he lacks the variation, and is too reliant on slow run rates bowling around the wicket rather than being able to get the wickets.
Compare that with the SA batting line up.
As for our bowling, even though they got the job done and bowled this team of superstars out cheaply to win 2-1, I have some serious questions as to why for most of the day, nobody bowled at the stumps. They played dumb cricket most of that innings.
If they bowled at the stumps, this would have been over 40 overs ago.

Knock their stumps over, and you take the 3rd umpire bias against us out of the equation. Not rocket science.
aus should easily win the t20's. should be favs for the world cup if they had a decent spinner.
The real question, is Warner the best batsman in test cricket right now?

Smith just needs more opportunity and more time in the nets.
And we have another coming through. Muirhead. Think he is about 20, but they have huge wraps on him.

i forgot smith... and 2 more quicks. looks very good t20 team.
Steve Smith should bowl more often, thought he did pretty well in that 2nd innings, got turn and bite off the pitch. He did start out as a leg spinner before being selected as a specialist batsman
i was amazed smith was taken to the last t20 to be honest. He was playing well for pune? and should have been selected! if someone bumps up the last world t20...it did raise me eyebrows when he wasnt picked.
aus t20 team... looks really good, iv had a small saver as im not so confident now with my windies bet (last yr)..poor form, injuries.
warner, finch, watson, bailey, maxwell, hodge, smith, haddin, johnson,...., .....
batting wickets and i think they'l score more than the other teams, spinning pitches and i dont think they play quality spin great, but all the batsmen can smack it out the grounds like the windies last tourney. And they all seem to be coming into form t20 wise.
overs from johnson, watson, early ones from maxwell, smith to top up and others from other 2 fast men. Nathan c-n adds even more depth to batting. If its gonna be a raging turner, id bring in muirhead in place of other bowler.
I think im talking myself into more than a cover on these.

My new word of the day 'Labyrinthine- irregular and twisting'
Only concern for Aussies is they are horrible players of spin bowling, particularly in the sub-continent. Back them at your peril, they could be made to look a little foolish by some of the worlds mystery spinners (Ajmal, Narine, Mendis etc)..
Well we will see how they fare against Pak in October.
yes they are poor against the very best top quality spinners but so are most others sides If the pitches turn out to be good batting decks then i cant see anyone stopping australia. 
iv had a big bet on the windies during the last ipl when they all seemed to be on form / i thought i was being clever and they might still do well, pollards a big loss and with gayle / sammuels injury clouds but the more i look at the possible aus team, the more im drawn to them. If the pitches / organisers want a batter friendly high scoring world cup.
everysingle player can mis hit 6's for fun. This side is very similar feel for me to the windies last time. Bar the narine factor?
