South Africa set Australia target of 310 runs to win.

Australia in deep trouble loosing 2 quick wickets for just 21 on board needing 310 runs for victory in second test being played at New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg. South Africa managed 339 runs in their second innings mainly through the century from Amla, 73 from A.B. De Villiers and useful 41 from Dayle Syeyn. With a lead of just 30 runs in first innings, Australia need 310 runs for victory in final innings, a tall order considering the nature of pitch. It is never easy to score 300 plus in final innings of a test match and Australia,s key batsmen like Ponting, Hussey, Haddin are all out of form. That makes it all the more difficult for them to reach the target. All these key players will have to fire this time to retain their places in the side, at least Ponting's place is doubtful if he does not make significant contribution this time. What do you feel can Australia make it to salvage some pride for themselves?
