It's cricket porn weekend for me. :D Just going to be boxed in for 2 days and get food home-delivered.

Was hoping Khawaja could carry his bat but it was a very fine innings nonetheless. His best.

Faf's declaration was still the right thing to do. Just because Renshaw and Khawaja were good enough to see off that onslaught doesn't make it a bad decision. It also meant that both batsmen had to restart on day 2, which can be a lot harder after having concentrated for those overs already on day 1.

Pretty imposing lead. Great batting performance from us, would take a great performance from South Africa/nasty collapse to lose.

Not sure why they're taking an early tea if the break is only 20 minutes.

Well done Aus... nice lead. Hope the pitch stays flattish and SA can respond with a big 2nd innings.
You avoiding the new ball under lights has to be an advantage. As the first innings showed the old ball didn't really hoop under lights...

Hopefully, think the new ball does something, like it should, but we get through 20 overs of graft and avoid any damage during night session with an older ball. We can definitely still recover, but needs fight again. Hoping for a big Hash hundred....
