Australian cricket tour of South Africa September/October 2026

[Mike7]

Got away with one. That is out imo.

 

[SlowInternet]

We are most probably going to get under 250. The total I hoped Australia would get in their 1st innings

 

[stefan9]

I think lyon is showing this pitch has spin in it. Ours just bowled poorly.

 

[stefan9]

Mulder plays the shortball awfully and is gone for 30

 

[SlowInternet]

Too late to leave

 

[SlowInternet]

I was optimistic with 250

 

[stefan9]

Stubbs also with a brainfart. Caught hooking with 2 men out

 

[Mike7]

This is what a batting lineup where everyone averages 30-35 performs like. Good 30's and 40's before throwing their wicket away.

so much this

 

[SlowInternet]

Brilliant catch

 

[stefan9]

Great catch but not particularly smart batting...

 

[Mike7]

Aboslute ****. Pathetic. Has anyone been out to a genuinely good delivery? Two reverse sweeping. Two trying to hook.

And then you overlook your all rounding spinner who can sure up the batting. Muthusamy anyone?

this batting has been diabolical

Aussies might yet rue the lack of another spinner.

 

[Mike7]

This test was lost when our supposed “world class spin duo” couldn’t get anything done in the 1st innings.

They have all gotten themselves out.

 

[OutlawJoseyWales]

What happened to the brains of our batters?? I just don't get it......

Take a page out of Maharaj and Harmer's book. Playing proper test cricket, especially in a situation where we are in trouble.

 

[cavedog]

I actually think we aren't doing too bad hey. Renshaw's innings really put us under immense pressure and if it wasn't for his knock we would be leading now.

We are going to have to be clinical with the ball. Australia will have a healthy lead to start their 2nd innings.

 

[stefan9]

Good effort to get to 284 from the tail.
