Message: [QUOTE="Major JW Hochstetter, post: 2168336, member: 1828"] Punter regularly cops crap for late declarations and on pure numbers I think 375 or so is a good target to set at the SCG - history says we really should shit this in (and I hope we do). But at 1/60 with our depleted attack and inability to take wickets at the time when they're really needed (i.e. 4th innings), i'm not overly confident about our chances today (thanks to the Perth debacle). The Saffas have said publicly that a draw is their priority but I bet their eyes may be lighting up a bit about getting these runs. Only 3-4 wickets in the first session or so to get them really on the defensive or a REAL change in the pitch - which the numbers suggest hasn't played anywhere near as bad as has been made out - will see us in with a shot of victory. Hope Dougie can get a bit of luck going his way today. Re: being destroyed in RSA. I actually think we'll do alot better there than we have here in the current series, especially if Clark is fit and the selection panel is sacked. Although the Saffas showed real class right at the crucial moments in this series which ultimately gave them victory, people need to be careful not to overstate any gap between the teams at the moment. I mean this series could've quite easily been 2-0 the other way had a few players who should've known better not dropped their bundle. Its been that type of series. RSA may well get up again, but I think it'll far, far from one way traffic. Looking forward to it. [/QUOTE]
