Cricket: WTC Final Oz vs SA
-
SA 94-2. Saffa need 188 runs to win.
Big session ahead. If the South Africa can make 80+ run and lose fewer than two wickets, they will be in the driving seat and firm favourites to win this competition.
Australia have slowed South Africa but need wickets.

Steve Smith did his finger dropping what should have been a routine slip catch. What's got to hurt!

Aussie tail frustrating the jaaps.
Starting to get near 250 lead which will be difficult to get.
It's been difficult to get for a long time. Proteas don't have the batting class against this all time bowling line-up.
Well it didn't take very long for this comment to look utterly stupid.

As the morning session showed with Starc and Hazlewood - scoring wasn't easy but threats were few.
Smith's dropped catch could be crucial, but to be fair he was standing very close to try and combat the drop shorts that have been a hallmark of this game. And that one flew at him.
Generally from what I saw in the second session, we simply lacked the discipline of line and length to build pressure. Lyon got some nice ones away and was a touch unlucky, but the Proteas stuck at it.
Hopefully this loss will finally be the wake up call for selectors about our bathing lineup. A bit late, and with no bowlers under 30 we are probably about to have a period of rebuild

It’s only fair. It’s the best bowling line up Aus have ever fielded consistently with all due respect to McGrath, Warne, Gillespie and Lee ( actually is it better than that line up of about equal ? )
Today’s three pacers are probably better as a unit but Warne beats Lyon, tough to pick overall

Mick Jagger was at the WTC final today.
Australia would have been hoping for loads more wickets but just goes to show you can’t always get what you want.
So far they can't get no satisfaction
