"If we can get ourselves to tea then (we’ll) have a look. If we are unscathed at tea time then we’ll be ready to launch a proper assault," said SA coach Arthur.
"There is a dressing room full of guys that don’t want to give an inch.”
"The guys have given their all and have been absolutely amazing for 14 days and none of us want to end up losing the last Test match.”
"We went through that in England this year where we played fantastically well and went 2-0 up and lost the last Test match in a dead rubber.”
"It took the gloss of our Test victories a little bit so we learnt the hard way there.”
"There will be guys battling really hard to make sure it’s either 2-0 or 3-0 and not 2-1."
"I think all three results are still possible tomorrow and that’s got to be good," he said.
"That’s indicative of how the Test series has gone.”
"We’re still going to play it hour by hour and we’re only realistically (going to) be able to answer (whether we can win) at tea time tomorrow.”
"I’d hate to plan and strategise that tomorrow morning.”
"We’re first thinking of saving the Test before we can think of winning it."
Arthur admitted: "I doubt Graeme will come out tomorrow but if there is one over or two overs to see out to draw or one or two required to win, I think we’re going to need a chain to chain him down in the dressing room.”
"I’m not taking the possibility of Smith batting totally out of the equation but it is very, very and highly, highly unlikely."
Mean while Mike Hussey said "It’s going to take all of us, like it did in the first innings,"
"I know Peter Siddle got the rewards (in the first innings) and got the five wickets but it was a collective effort and I think all the guys bowled particularly well.”
"It’s going to take a good hard grind of all the bowlers bowling well in partnerships, being patient, being disciplined – the things that we always talk about in our meetings – and hopefully a few tricks from the pitch would be nice as well to get us a couple of wickets."
