The autocorrect on my web browser wants to change 'Rabada' to 'Rabid'. I think that's his new nickname.

 

[burr]

It's cos he's a massive prick

If him and warner were English I'd struggle to support them.

Such rubbish. And so predictable and lazy and what people said about Ponting and McGrath for years who actually seem like lovely men. Smith probably is too.

What bowling.

Yes, because the English team is so full of top quality, uncontroversial characters.

The only good thing about Perth and this test for Australia is that it is destroying the delusions that were formed last summer.

 

[Burgey]

these days im afraid to go to toilet even when australia is batting. dont want to miss anything

Imagine how the blokes waiting to bat feel!

The joy of the Australian over-confidence/swagger/sledge... I don't disagree, both Ponting and McGrath seem like awesome blokes in retirement, but in their pomp they were the very definition of arrogance and righteous, McGrath loved sledging, hated to be sledged.

That Voges dismissal just looks worse every time you see it.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Can't wait for India to tour SA and try to handle this attack. So good to watch.

 

[Stace]

I ****ing love you Rabada.

If there's any Kiwi posters thinking about laughing at the demise of Australia, just remember we lost 2-0 to this side, including an innings defeat and back-to-back scores of 500+ just over six months ago.

Rabada, Philander and Abbott are going to do nasty things to us given the right conditions later this summer as well. I thought it'd be a mercy that Steyn will be out, but it's really irrelevant. What a great bowling line-up and talented batting side they have. Fair play. Smart, relentless, accurate, disciplined bowling and batting.

All against a completely mentally shot to ribbons Australian side.

Lovely

Now here's the question. Does this suck more than the Melbourne test in 2010? I'm inclined to say it does. So when's the last time we had a home test worse than this?

I dare say you'll see more application out of Williamson, Latham and Watling than you've seen here by anyone not named Smith. I also think our guys are way better at playing in moving conditions than the Aussies.

Now I don't discount the rest of what you've said, South Africa will destroy us.

Nah that was awful beyond comprehension

Oh no Melbourne was worse than this, because that was really, really drawn out on that 2nd and 3rd day.

Am thinking this might be Pakistan's best chance to win their series in Australia

Yes, well it did have Trott 168* in it. I don't think I saw most of that innings, or at least blanked it out.
