*Official* South Africa in Australia 2018

[Starfighter]

I wonder how this pitch would play on a fifth day? There's been a few balls really take off but there's not much sign of cracking and drop in pitches tend to be cement like and not break up.

I like O'Keefe. Have a whatsapp voice recording talking about his return to test cricket v Pakistan after 2.5 years out. The story of what happened is glorious.

This bowling has been poor. Simply not enough on the right length and line except for Cummins. The pitch has dried and eased but it wouldn't have made much difference.

Poor from QDK.....

 

[Starfighter]

Too little too late.

 

[Gnske]

Why do we need these interviews fml

 

[SeamUp]

DRS shown up a few umpiring decisions this match.

 

[Starfighter]

The umpiring in this match has not been very good.

 

[Gnske]

Just imagine a test team with Stoinis and Mitch Marsh in it

I imagined a WA secession because my brain just couldn't manage to imagine that any other way.

These wickets are giving a respectability to Aus' performance that it doesn't deserve.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

The funny thing is that this is a pretty weak South African batting lineup (Andile P at 7!) but this is a thrashing.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Nice call from Graeme Smith.

 

[Starfighter]

Lynn's fielding... bleh.

 

[Starfighter]

Funnily enough it's been the most consistent bowler who's got the wickets.

 

[Starfighter]

That ends that shitshow.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Compete with us. Smile with us.

Oh we are.

 

[GRAB]

Comprehensive bowling performance on a great competitive pitch. More pitches like that please! Batting looks fragile and could be exposed with a decent total to chase. Mulder could strengthen that department but then we'd have to leave out one of Ngidi, Rabada, Steyn and well...

Bailey must be wondering about an Indian summer. Would give Australian lineup more stability. Too many hitters in the top six not enough batsmen.

CA want us to pay $68/month to watch Australia bats collapse like this every game....don't think so
