Geez!

I obviously misread my predictions.... instead England have the West Indies on the back foot and our Australia are walking all over the South Africans today.

An AB Devilliers century gave our score a TINY level of respectability but we now have to depend on the weather to try and force the draw.

Mitchell Johnson again proved what a classy player he is. He got 96 not out with the bat and then bowled 18 overs for 25 runs and took 4 wickets to boot. Read that again - 18 overs for 25 runs... world class player.

In a lot of ways I think South Africa is regretting a tail that doesn't wag at the moment... Harris and Steyn's heroics in Australia aside, we basically bat to number 7 with Boucher and then the rest is a lottery.

The loss of Shaun Pollock was definately felt today....

At the end of the day the Aussies have gotten on top of us and its now going to take a combination of weather and batting application to make sure we don't go 0-1 down in this series.....
