***Official*** Australia in South Africa 2018

[Victor Ian]

Good test for Australia's credentials coming up. You can only pretend to be number 1 when you can overcome teams actually putting up a fight. I'm looking forward to it when I'm not being eagerly pessimistic.

 

[harsh.ag]

Perfect day for test cricket.

So Hazlewood seems to have gotten a little faster in the last year or so at the expense of some of his accuracy. I genuinely think he should take half a yard off to land it in better areas.

Great shot Philander.

 

[quincywagstaff]

Reckon Australia missed a trick not starting with Cummins. Hazlewood’s been a bit below par this series and Starc is a better old-ball bowler than new.

 

[SeamUp]

All 3 starts by the bowlers have been stiff.

 

[Gnske]

That pullshot was obscenely easy

 

[Fuller Pilch]

If IPL weren't around, how good of a test player ABDV would have been? Reckon he could potentially be their greatest batsman ever.

Nah, I reckon he'd still be behind Pollock for sure and probably Kallis and Richards

 

[Bijed]

Ah, shame, but really important innings from Vern

AB, please don't get stranded again

Edit: Phew, got there. Brilliant knock!

 

[StephenZA]

Maharaj better play sensible until ABdV gets his 100... can image poor Ngidi trying to survive with de VIlliers on 99...

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Maharaj can bat a bit. What's Ngini like?

 

[Top_Cat]

Really does gladden the heart to hear comms referencing The 12th Man in what would be the commercial break on my Completely Legal Stream.

 

[SeamUp]

Moment to cherish for AB

Genius

 

[StephenZA]

Fantastic 100.... brilliant innings. ABdV

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Great 100

 

[mr_mister]

Good knock that

 

[vcs]

AB! Great knock.

 

[Top_Cat]

Game-changer. Couldn't ask for more as a skipper or fan, really.

 

[SeamUp]

Gone ahead of G.Kirsten fully now with 22 test hundreds.

 

[GotSpin]

Paine keeps on palming off byes too
