It was always a really stupid declaration.

He still looks like he doesn't know whether to **** or wind his watch against spinners, though.
Warner showed late on day one that he's not captaincy material. The guy is thick. I'd love to see it, in the age of putting unfit people in positions of power it only seems apt too.
How would a keeper get involved in ball shining? I've never seen that in cricket in my life. Weird accusation.
Leave him there. Warner can slog away anywhere in the order.
It's the first time all series Australia made SA bowl to them. They had some luck, you need some. It to nick off to jaffas, but they were actually really patient for once.
But as you said, Starc batting the way he did is the real positive here, shows that the message has gone home to the entire team about actually playing and fighting hard, not just this sledging nonsense.
Before the ump used to keep the ball after wickets, and when keeping gloves were more ungainly than they are now, our stumper used to keep a glob of chaminda under the back part of his gloves. That was many moons ago though, and not as effective as just having a fielder keep it.
I don't agree with this. He needed to use all the advantage of conditions he had when their score was only likely to be slightly higher if he didn't declare, but would have had fewer nasty overs under lights to bowl. Plus of course the warner effect. Not working doesn't make it a bad decision, captain hindsight.
