Stumps day 3. An excellent session for South Africa and an excellent day overall for Australia. The bowler who never disturbed Australia got three big wickets, Ricky Ponting's form is a big concern as so far in this series he is fully out of touch, the selectors will be making big decisions for the 3rd Test, lets leave RTP and see Quiney, so far his Test career hasn't been top notch for him and Australia, if Shane Watson is fit to play for the 3rd Test then we might see either Quiney being removed (I don't wanna say this but) or Ponting being removed. Join us tomorrow at 00:00GMT for the 4th day of this Test, till then goodbye | |||
