The band is great on tv. Not too sure how Id feel about them if I was in the ground, but if it's a problem, I'm sure it is one that could be solved with beer

Australia have given nothing away. Yeah Elgar especially has missed out on a few scoring options but it's not like they have been patting back half volleys. I think they can afford this approach for NOW because they bowled Australia out on the first day, but they have to kick into gear sooner rather than later.

Won't be easy if Starc is going to send down many more like that.

St. Georges is the best place to watch cricket I've ever been (which is admittedly only 4 of South Africa's major stadia and a lot of club/varsity grounds...) Everywhere else feels sterile once you've had the band experience!

Willing to bet that the umps constantly stopping the game had more of an effect on the batsman's rhythm than a few trumpets

Now its even stevens like we said it could be with a couple of wickets but I rather give respect to the Australian bowling and conditions.

Perhaps we can complete the trade and get the security guards to handle the on field stuff for the rest of the series

Australia have bowled with exceptional stamina and discipline for those two wickets. Kudos.

Beauty from Hazlewood.

This is the point, really. The deck is still doing a bit, Aussies have bowled well today and SA have really done well to hold on and it’s taken a couple of great knackers to get results. Test cricket.

I've never seen an umpire stop cricket for noise. Ridiculous that they feel the need to. Dharmasena is a snowflake. Also clearly broke elgars concentration, so not only are they affecting the atmosphere, but also ruining the cricket

I think that last statement might be a stretch. He just got a jaffa. There's one with your name on it some times...
