With a full day’s play ahead it’s an interesting situation we have here.
It’d be a big surprise if South Africa pushed for a result considering there’s three days left and they’re 1-0 down.
Mark Waugh believes the Aussies can win.
“If South Africa are bowled out for 180 and Australia make 300, which is possible, but it depends on these last five wickets and how long South Africa hang around,” he said on Fox Cricket.
“They’ve got a bit of batting to come…but I think there’s time and there’s enough in this pitch for some wickets to fall quickly.”
Kerry O’Keeffe wonders if the pitch will change following two days of rain.
“How much is left in this pitch? That’s the big question. It’s been under the covers for a couple of days. Nathan Lyon would be interested in finding out if there’s a lot for the quicker men,” he said.
“But South Africa, if they can get around 180 to 200-plus, that’s a par on this deck if it’s going to nibble as much as it has on days one and two.”
