Waugh: Australia in the driver’s seat

South Africa are 40 runs in front, but they’re four wickets down. Who’s on top? Australia, according to Kerry O’Keeffe, Mark Waugh and David Warner. Here’s what they just said on Fox Cricket.

O’Keeffe: “It’s climax time, isn’t it? This is why we turn up (at Test cricket).

“I think Australia are well ahead in the game. The way the surface was being disturbed late yesterday, these six could fall over very quickly – and then it’s a walk to the line for Australia.”

Waugh wasn’t quite as emphatic, but still believes the tourists are favourites.

“Australia’s in the driver’s seat, aren’t they. I think South Africa need another 150-200 to be in the game. They’ve got a bit of batting to come, but I think Australia are in the driver’s seat.”

Warner: “I think it’s Australia. This first hour is a big one for Australia. It’ll be a balance of attacking and saving runs.”
