But seeing how we're going, we gotta have the extra half an hour right?

Forget the decision, I'm more worried about time now.
 
Shame it has to come down to one of those. It looked like his thumb and index finger was off the bat, but a tough one to call.

Still think Australia should get the likes of Steyn and Morkel in this last hour.

What a gritty performance from Harris. At points he looked like could barely walk. Steyn showed the same sort of grit as well.

That lad Harris. Beautiful man, I could kiss you. Way to close for my comfort. Jesus.

Also nice work bowling at the stumps lol.
 
Well done, Aus. Deserved the win considering what happened this match.

South Africa put up a good fight, but were coming to an end of a long period of dominance, and will start rebuilding phase without the likes of Smith and Kallis. Some changes to the side to be made as well.

Australia, meanwhile, starting a period where I think they will be very strong.

Ryan Harris is the toughest cricketer I have ever seen. The dude has no cartilage in his knee. It is literally bone on bone and he just slaughters himself for his country.

A wonderful, wonderful cricketer.

I yelled so suddenly I startled my cat who was asleep on the bookshelf. She fell off backwards and scampered off to parts unknown.

Cheers mate, good to have some opposition supporters like yourself in here. You had a good run at the top but yes, I think Aussies have the chance to build a very good team with some of the talent coming through.

Commiserations to the Proteas supporters on here who seem to be very good eggs. The Saffers are fighters to the end.

What a great series.

I wouldn't describe what South Africa are about to go through as a "rebuild", more like a top up.

The bulk of a very, very good cricket team is still in place.

Nah, I reckon we still have a few issues to sort out. I love the man, but I feel ryan harris's career will be too short after this test. Especially with a surgery coming up. Will be hard to replace him. Bloody hard.

Such a shame, but he has bowled his heart out for this summer. Hoping he continues for a few more.
