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

I reckon Paine deserves a chance higher up the order, his decent enough but how’s he ever gonna get a lot of runs when he can’t get many partnerships with proper batsmen, and his so low down batting with the tail, trying to survive and get them through.
Didn’t he open in big bash before? I reckon his patient style could put him up at 4-5 and smith move up to 3

What an absolutely ********* display from South Africa. First collapsing from 220/2 and now this horrendous performance after having Australia at 175/8. South Africa should be crushing Australia like a bug, but instead they have let them continuously back in the game. Lethargic fielding, dropped catches, frigging bowling Bavuma for no reason, Donkey Morkel allowing easy boundaries, allowing Lyon to hack away 47 from 39 and a potential 136 run lead is more than halved and they still can't bowl them out on the day!!
I was literally screaming and tearing my hair out. And this wasn't the first time SA have taken their foot of the pedal like this either.To me it has all the echoes of that Wanderers test against India in January, where the Indian tail were allowed to hack themselves away to nearly 250 in the second innings, in what we were told was a pretty poor pitch. And this after getting far more than they should have done in the first innings too. They same culprits too, clueless/complacent captaincy, brainless bowling, ****** catching.
The cherry on top of this **** sundae would be the if the batsmen now take this as their cue to collapse yet again, get out for between 100 and 150 and hand the match to Australia on a platter! Why not, they've already been so generous so far.

Look how Warner is staring at the poor old man. Beyond disgraceful as an international cricketer.

Get out of here, man. Everybody dislikes the Australians but that is not acceptable from the fan; it's obvious from Warner's reaction what the general content of that taunt must have been.

No sir. The fan was even clapping for Warner.
