[Borges]

Thanks!

When it rains, it pours.

 

[Victor Ian]

He's trying to hand off the captaincy already.

No use jumping for the Nelson, Australia's luck can't get any worse.

Bit disingenuous to call this all bad luck.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Classic Philander celebrappeal

 

[stephen]

And besides, South Africa have Nelson on their side.

It's bad luck that Warner and not a decent bloke got all of the talent.

Depends if you want the talented bloke to be Australian or not...

Well if it was say Cowan that was Bancroft's partner, we'd have Smith and our two regular openers playing instead of a guy who is out of form and two jet lagged batsmen who just finished a shield match.

 

[ajdude]

didn't realise this had started already, not used to daylight savings being over haha.

 

[GRAB]

Would it be unfair to say Rhodes would have got that...

Paine is a really good cricketer

No idea where Australian cricket is heading but if I had my way, Cummins & Renshaw should lead us out of the abyss

Youve mentioned jet lag a couple of times but I think its difficult to say its a likely cause as it definitely impacts people in different ways.

The step up from Tasmanias quicks to South Africas and the pressure of the match is more likely the reason.

SA quicks are awful atm

 

[Boris_Dog]

The trundlers looking good though.

 

[Borges]

Chadd Sayers is not looking all that terrible now, is he?

 

[StephenZA]

Morkel injured? But none the less.... worst bowling all series from SA. Terrible. Don't let the foot off the throat.

 

[SeamUp]

Appropriate that Australia's two best players this tour are showing fight.

CSA just said same left side-strain as picked up against Bangladesh and will fight on for the rest of the match.
