OK I have to throw my two bob in here.
I personally thought the game was enthralling and had a lot of trouble keeping away from the telly while it was on.
After watching this game I'm pretty convinced Australia has definitely lost the edge it has held in world cricket for so many years. I thought the India series was an anomaly and the Aussies would bounce back more aggressively than ever. But I was wrong. Just as India did, South Africa exposed Australia's lack of bowling depth. Australia's batting, while satisfactory and should've have been enough to win the test, was no where near as dominant as it used to be.
But to be fair, although technically SA won by 6 wickets,taking into account their very long batting tail, it was in practice more like a 2 wicket win. In other words SA just scraped through. But probs to the SA batsmen. They remained calm under pressure and that won them the game.
Bring on the Boxing day test!!
