Saffers have a good chance to knock off India tonight. 2/118 chasing 240, I'd call it 50/50. Much depends on the skipper Elgar, a good choice to lead a rebuilding side - he's tough and resolute and never gives his wicket away. Keegan Petersen looks a compact and organised player with nice timing, and the new keeper averages 51 in first-class cricket, so they might have found another couple to go with Jansen.

Yeah backed the Saffas to get them @$3.40
Now to decide whether to lay off - They're into $1.50

They're pretty fragile and have a long tail. If Elgar goes they could collapse.
Incidentally, @mrposhman the 'Dean Hedley Test' at the MCG in 1998 was one where they made up a stack of time. Boxing Day was washed out, then they started early and played late and the game finished late on day four, with 303 overs bowled in the three days of play. From memory, with both sides close to a win, day four finished close to 8pm. Great match, shining example of get it done spirit.
And if this match is washed out, then the Series is not a whitewash.
If that happens you might care to elevate your toast to a Krug.
Who saw Rishabh Pant's dismissal last night. Second ball he faced, Rabada gave him a rip-snorter of a sniff, hit the gloves. Next ball he charged and did that gambler's swipe of his and nicked behind. For a bloke who loves a chirp, he will hear the words 'gutless', 'brainless' and 'weak as *smile*' for some time methinks.
He's a Pom, he's required to take all that is dished out n be grateful for the effort put in by others.How much more can Poshy take.
Did mate - Was soft as!
They (Indian fans plus "commentators" ) were giving it to him on cricinfo.
10/1 would have put it all on a place! More like 6-4. Anyone who saw the winner is lying. Gents, we shall adjourn to the Nags thread for further discussion...It was a good price when they started, 10 to 1, it was still running at half past one
Only joking Royce
I would like to point out that we are discussing the result of a Devonport BM62 in a Ashes Test match thread. Houston, we have a problem... I blame SHocking
Chadd's been 'champed'.
Pretty childish reply by Warne TBH. Just explain yourself without the adolescent barbs. Just not a good look.
Warnie's another one of those 'celebrities' who's head has gone to the clouds.
