February 17th, 2013 at 13:38 SAST
Target 182 – an interesting chase awaits on a turning wicket with maestro Ajmal probably being brought into the attack very early on, wonder if he may even open the bowling?

Sounds good, must be lekker warm there by you for that. If we keep our wickets then that sure is a possibility today as at least 31 overs left and I guess they could ask for the extra half hour at end of day if needed.

Guys do you also pick up this utmost desire from the SA commentator(Pommy) to talk up the performances of the non white players. Robin Peterson deserved the MOM award OK, but he also had to temper Pommy Mbangas insistence that HE was the main star. Robin kept saying its a team play. He is still singing everything Robin did like a praise singer. Look let me rather just say it the way i see it, they feel inferior and they need to be praised by other commentators for every little thing they do , that why he keeps hammering on these points.
February 17th, 2013 at 22:38 SAST
Congratulations SA on a good win, and for wrapping up the test series already!
