Think there's plenty in this pitch and 460 is a long way away now so bet looks a good one! Think we've batted very well to get to this stage and I'm going to be looking at unders in the Aus innings

Unders still looking good - 412/8 - Agree with you on the pitch TML. Going to be interesting to see what the books come up with for AustraliaThe Missing Link wrote:

Also had him on the under since they said he only averages 24 outside Aus. Didn't pan out but the other live bets have been going pretty well. Took Paine over 35.5 when he had 20, looking in good knick. First wicket under 21.5 for Aus since they had two new openers fresh off a plane. Had a go at SA #9th wicket over 436.5 at some point, also cleared because Maharaj is pretty solid with the bad, gets underestimated a lot.
As of now I'm just looking for the new ball. When that comes a wicket will be sure to follow, so will be taking the under, unless it's set ridiculously low, for the fall of next wicket. (Edit: Aussies fell over pretty easily well before the new ball, 10overs)
Sunbet opened in-play bets pretty late on our innings but still took a stab at Markram over 45.5 since he's having a great game and #1 wicket over 48.5 because we are so on top of the game at the moment on a pretty good batting wicket.

Was thinking the exact same thing. We're leading by 540 right now. I believe the highest successful 4th innings chase is 310 or thereabouts. No clue what we're still doing out there. Maybe they want to win 2-1 by removing any remote chance they might win...still makes no sense.
That said, once we declare I'd probably go under for #1 wicket. Imagine the aussies are itching to get on that plane.

Not a bad punt at all. Just saw that highest 4th innings total at wanderers is 450, second highest 351 (it was in the 350's) and both ended in draws. Plus with the weather and SA just batting wayyy too long, I think that's a pretty solid call.

This came from the dressing room via cricinfo to explain the delay in the declaration. Man I hope we don't see Faf in a new leather jacket in the near future
