Some of the test matches have been closely fought but I'm not sure if South Africa have really got themselves in too many winning situations.
More Quotes from Ricky Ponting:
I couldn't help thinking during the past two Tests that it's been very rare that we've been well and truly outplayed for the majority of two matches in a row and found ourselves under pressure for long periods, ... And basically suffering what other teams normally face against us. It's almost as if we've become those opposition teams, and England has suddenly become Australia.Ricky Ponting

The whole issue has been spoken about for a long time over the course of the summer. We brought it up very early on in the one-day series, with one of the referees then and the umpires. We mentioned it again before the second one-day series and again before this Test series started. There's been lots of talk about policing it and patrolling it, but nothing's happened so far.

If we can squeeze a few more runs out of the tail and then bowl well first thing in their innings it could be very interesting. That's not a bad total and it could be an even better one if we bowl well tomorrow - it's certainly not the end of the world as far as we're concerned.
