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

[Bolo]

His century was kinda downhill skiing. Tends to not cash in though which has hurt his average.

Cummins probably the only Australia that can truly hold his head high from this series. Please don't get injured again.

Nothing wrong with Paine, performance or dignity. Not quite in Cummins class though, who has been awesome

So how much are we gonna lose to rain? Because that influences the need for a declaration surely. Typically, those highveld thunderstorms come around four-thirty / five o'clock, but if they're heavy enough we could lose some time the next day too.

We Don't usually lose any play the next day at Wanderers or centurion. Altitude allows the grounds to drain extremely quickly.

Don't expect us to lose much.

Paine has conceded lots of byes throughout the series.

 

[SeamUp]

I also thought Bancroft was growing into the role and Mitch Marsh started well but after he got ill in PE from the polony it has gone down hill.

 

[SeamUp]

Just Warne being Warne though then

Reckon someone had smuggled in some Bundaberg into the box...

You're forgetting him trying to stop Mark Nicholas count the woods run up then giving lip to the guys in the jacuzzi

Through all this. What a genius. So we got to survive the insufferable moments.

Massive. Who stands up for Australia. Crucial couple of innings for some careers possibly. To kick start or show they can be the seniors Australia can count on.

a) Rensahw
b) Burns
c) Khawaja
d) Handscomb
e) S.Marsh
f) M.Marsh

So seeing as the Aussies gave Morkel a guard of honour in the 1st innings they have already accepted the innings defeat.

A lot of them have been over his head when I've been watching!

Test is a write off and won’t effect future of a, b and f

Others are fighting for their careers

Though the ones fighting for their careers may get more time to do that now the 3 suspensions have happened even if they don't deserve that time.

 

[duffer]

Yeah we get it Warney, his nickname is the surgeon.

At least a couple went right through the gloves, maybe in the previous Test though.

 

[harsh.ag]

Haven't done this for a while.

harsh - 281

Australia can salvage something if Renners or Burns do well here

 

[Spikey]

if he's talking about Veron, that nickname is only Warne's nickname for him (probably created because Warne didn't rate him when he saw him first but accepted defeat finally, and so had to come up with a stupid nickname)

 

[Gnske]

If Burns gets bowled through the inside edge of the bat i'll be upset

Will be surprised if this is the case

Oz will be looking to rebuild from ground up as pressure is on for complete clean out

Guys like Doran will be fast tracked and don’t be surprised if Renshaw is our next captain
