Hashim Amla,the most deserving batsman of South Africa fell short of his well deserved
double Ton by 4 runs at 196.perhaps an advance adverse award for humiliating the Australians without a fair declaration after getting a lead of over 600 runs!
The day started well for the South Africans with Jack Kallis& Amla continuing until
KALLIS FELL AT 37 when he hooked a short ball to the fence.But he had done his duty
Perfectly before returning to the Pavilion.Yet another one of the Best Batsmen of SA
A.B.DeVelliers joined Amla& continued very effectively & very fast in scoring until
Amla fell at 196.
The score was 436/5 with a lead of 498 Runs.
DeVilliers & FduPlessis ,who joined him continued effortlessly when FduPlessis fell at
27 runs at 536/6.DeVilliers continued with Petrsen who joined him but fell at 539/7
Adding just one run in the Total Petersen with no score. DeVilliers continued with the nenw man in Philander.both together added a few invaluable runs ,when DeVilliers all set for a Double Ton ,fell at 537.the score was 557/8.
At this stage the lead was 619.SA SHOULD HAVE DECLARED . But they didn't. To bat as
though SA decided to play until their eventual end which did happen at The same score
Of 569.
The lead by SA was an unachievable 632 runs to win in the final innings for the Australians!
They,however ,safeguarded all the 10 wickets in tact to come back again to dwell
to get yet another 592 runs.
How the Australians ,the yesterday's King of Cricket ,is go into cope up with the
situation in the last innings of their former champion Ricky Ponting is a Matter
TIME ALONE Can TELJL!
All the Best to AUSTRALIA& SOUTH AFRICA.
