Australian cricket tour of South Africa September/October 2026

[Mike Hoxbig]

If the batsmen can't bat then we may as well play more allrounders and gain the bowling option too. Bosch has a test 100, we have nothing to lose by bringing him in...

What does Temba do now. Does he play some shots to get quick runs now that he is with the tail? Or does he trust them to stick around for a bit...

Harmer and kg can bat. Can still just play normally.

 

[Agent_Smith]

Skippppperrrrrrrrr!!!!!!

 

[Skimmie]

Great innings by Bavuma

 

[thestaggy]

Proper captain's knock.

 

[stefan9]

Well played temba. Proper test 100.

 

[Gudnews]

Move Temba up to 3. Let him anchor the innings earlier. He's an accumulator, and can handle the new ball.

well done captain

He prefers batting at 4. You don't move your best test batsman because of others struggling.

 

[sand_man]

He is basically opening these days with 2 early wickets.

Great knock, well done skip.

The draw is very much on.

I'd say at this point throw caution to the wind and go guns blazing. A good session tomorrow could bring a win into contention. Draw as a fallback. 300 is a good enough total for a 3.5 day match...

 

[Goosfrabba]

Brilliant innings from Bavuma. Would have bitten your hand off if offered 300 the way the innings started.

 

[Werner1975]

Well done Captain! A fine innings in the face of adversity.

 

[Binary_Bark]

The way the Artichokes are going, that's more than enough overs

Oh wait, S hit, I been thinking today's day 3... S hit, there's still plenty time left... nevermind, it is day 3... F uck me, sunstroke...

 

[Neoprod]

Gonna need a leather jacket to get a result in this one.

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

Who's gonna pull a Vern/Dale for a 49 all out?

 

[I.am.Sam]

SA need to declare
maybe get some wickets

bowl them out for less than 100

 

[I.am.Sam]

Who's gonna pull a Vern/Dale for a 49 all out?

yeah this will go down well
