Aussie downfall; SA need 153 to win

Dec 29: Spectacular can be the word for South Africa’s performance and Australia can associate themselves with disaster. What goes up comes down and that is what seems like happening to the once invincible Australian team.After an unexpected lead by South Africa over Australia’s 394 in the first innings, courtesy JP Duminy’s astounding 166, Dale Steyn gunned down Hayden, Katich, Michael Clarke and Andrew Symonds to reduce Australia to 180 for the loss of seven wickets at tea on Day 4. Ntini, Morkel and Kallis shared a wicket apiece to contribute to the team’s stupendous performance.Steyn later removed Peter Siddle as the last Australian wicket to wrap the Australian innings for 247 which meant South Africa need 183 runs to win the second Test and wrap up the series.Ricky Ponting missed out on a record when he was outclassed by Morne Morkel for 99. Had he reached the three figure mark, he would have become the first batsman to score hundreds in both the innings of a Test four times overtaking Indian Sunil Gavaskar.
Lower in the order, Mitchell Johnson, considered as the best number 10 batsman today, lived up to his name and saved Australia some grace by contributing 43 important runs.After the visitors took to batting in the second innings, skipper Graeme Smith displayed a no-nonsense attitude and added 25 runs before the day ended.Smith, along with his opening partner Neil McKenzie, reduced the victory margin as their scorecard read 30 for no loss at stumps on Day 4.South Africa won the first Test and lead the three Test series 1-0. They look good to wrap up the series in Melbourne itself as they need just 153 runs more to win.
