Intriguing final test in SA. Aus lead by about 265 with 10 wickets in hand.

Totally not having that. **** dictionary. If the OED changes its meaning I'll concede.

It has been

Think youll need to concede

[Shaggy]

Oh.

I find that ridiculous. How can it mean two things that are essentially opposite? The opposite of literally was always figuratively. Now literally means both? What a joke. I blame Jamie Redknapp.

[Shaggy]

Mind you the OED also says "it is not acceptable in formal contexts, though it is widespread". So that's good enough for me.

[Shaggy]

What a player Warner has become. Another hundred.

Mitchell Johnson gets Smith AGAIN and Smith's career is over.

SA 12-2 chasing 500+ in a day and a bit. Game over.

[RichC]

I didn't realise how far we'd fallen in all forms of the game.

4th in tests
5th in ODI
8th in twenty20's

Not great at the moment and I really can't see Ashley Giles as being the man to turn our fortunes around either.

[Shaggy]

15-3. Johnson spreadeagles Elgar's stumps.

[Shaggy]

What a finish this is. SA 201-7 at tea. Australia need 3 wickets in the final session to win the series.

[Shaggy]

15 overs left, SA 259-8.

Look at this for a stat

Simon Wilde @swildecricket
Mitchell Johnson v Graeme Smith in this series: 13 balls, 17 runs, four wickets

[Shaggy]

Philander gone. Another brutal delivery from Johnson.

OVERTURNED! Lehmann is steaming.

[Shaggy]

Steyn and Clarke facing each other up, Clarke shouting "SHUT THE **** UP" to a seriously pumped Steyn. Real needle.

[RichC]

I can't stand either of the ****ers but Clarke is someone I really dislike.

[Shaggy]

Gonna be some last hour this. 14 overs to go. Well worth watching if you can.

Philander 45 not out

[Shaggy]

It really is ridiculous. A wonderful Test series, arguably the best two teams in the world, slugging it out and near inseparable. Why are they stopping after just 3 Tests? So they can have 3 slogging contests. What a joke.
