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

There is no world in which this is the first time. Every team in the history of ever tampers with the ball in some non-natural manner.

But.

I don’t see how Smith lasts as skipper after this. This is a major embarrassment for a Test nation which is generally pretty greedy for the moral high ground.
Hopefully this tour puts the 'Australian way' under the microscope.

KP took Strauss down......depends if you want to claim him as yours or not.
Suppose it was a ****tail of cause. Graeme Smith said Strauss was the most sledgy he had ever been **** this **** that. That probably lends to being under pressure generally.

Suppose Morkel made him his bunny with scores of 0, 27, 37, 22, 20 & 1 and his team were losing.

We'll claim it with the help of a 12th man :D

They do know if they don't take the field they can't bat in their normal positions, right?

So does this make Paine an official captain, as in the X number of players that have captained Australia?

Not yet, when the next test starts it'll all but be written.

I'm happy for him, especially in these circumstances.

DeVillers looked antsy this whole morning.... I really hope we push on to a big lead, don't want to give any space to Aus.
