Australia V South Africa

[prydey]

just thought i'd follow on from the aussie series, where the thread generated quite a good discussion.

even i wouldn't have predicted this start by australia. cut to the end, awesome little cameo by mitch johnson. unfortunately he got stuck at the non strikers end on 96 while the aussies lost the last 2 wickets.

good to see ponting finally get some runs, clarke has been in good touch and marcus north is starting in fine form.

466 in 4 sessions is a great effort. can't rest yet though as we've seen RSA are very capable of chasing down big scores and turning the match around.
