South Africa's case

For the defence

Exhibit A, the shield match between speedblitz and the warriors:

NSW 177
WA 265
NSW 310
WA 2/224

NSWales have been horrible this year, but the ease of this chase cannot be denied.

Cross Examination: Look who made the runs, Marsh & Pomersbach, it could happen to anyone.

Exhibit B, the shield match between the mighty vics and the warriors.

WA 239
VIC 326
WA 404
VIC 4/321

Victoria are the inform team of the year, but this is a very comfortable chase by anyones standards, 3 quick wickets and South Africa can do the same.

Cross Examination: Victoria did make the runs with two ex Warriors who had points to prove, and did they prove them.

Key Points

Only one bowler really bothered them.

One batsman gets a hundred and anything up to 380 should be attainable.

The pitch is not getting worse, its just staying as bad.

4th innings chases aren’t like they use to be, wickets are flatter, they don’t crumble as much, and the Waca has had a few large 4th innings totals in the past.

Cross Examination: True only one bowler, what if Lee, Siddle and Krejza pick up the slack. Not one hundred in the match so far. 9 wickets a day bad. If you are 5/200 chasing 400 4th innings are still tough.
