276 with 8 wickets in hand

That's all that is needed for South Africa to once again re-write the record books against the Aussies at the Wanderers.

The Wanderers has been one of those happy hunting grounds for us and I don't think anyone is ever going to forget Herschelle Gibbs leading that historic run chase to break the ODI record.

The morning session will without question make or break this chase. If we lose one or two early wickets, then I don't see us making it. If Kallis and Amla get through unscathed then I expect the Aussies will drop their heads and we could waltz home...

.... but as somebody pointed out it only takes 8 perfect balls to win the game for them and with Mitchell Johnson in your corner I would never write them off.

I reckon South Africa is going to come to a standstill if we get through the first hour with no wickets down.

Even if you can't get to the game - if you're driving past the Wanderers make as much bloody noise as you can.... Let's beat the Aussies before they even set foot on the field today. Switch every television and radio to the cricket and let them know the whole country is backing them to protect our reputation in the Bullring...

C'mon boys - you can do it!!!!
