Australian cricket tour of South Africa September/October 2026

If we can get Smith, we got 'em. Alternatively, focus on the tail

 

[Pegging]

Looking at Newlands tickets.
We’ll probably get more people on day one than we did for the first two tests combined.

I remember I think it was the match in Hobart. Where they couldn't get Smith out, so they got everyone else instead.

Well there is a reason why both PE and Durban lost boxing day.

Great session for South Africa. Bowled brilliantly.
Jansen coming up trumps with the wickets. Lets hope Nortje is ok
6 down 14 to go

Harmer having a snorter of game hey ! catches ands runs galore ! MOTM if we win this.

Last resort - bring in the spin, the close up fielders, and the sandpaper chirps...

Reminds me of a test way back in 1995 when we could not get Michael Atherton out. He ended up on 185*. Saved the test for England. Hopefully none of that in this test for Australia.

Marco for me...

 

[DarkStarMonday]

Marco for me...

Can't really watch much, you know umm .... work life

 

[sand_man]

Marco for me...

Temba will s hit in at this stage but yes, at this point a joint player of the match is well and truly vindicated...

Yeah true - wasn't for him we'd be toast tbh.

Watching him and those Jack Russell leaves took up 3 years of my life.

True that, but he did have support from Jack Russell - who for some reason just kept missing the ball.

Bavuma and Jansen are ahead of him. Needs to get some wickets

Wasn't for Marco and Harmer he wouldn't have that hundred. Great effort from all 3. But Temba did what a bastmen should. The other two went beyond their main roles and saved the faces of our incompetent top order...

 

[Creag]

FYI - Tickets for the rest of the Test are now available at R50, US$3.05

Durbs will rushing for these

Oops, this is PE

 

[ghaye]

If I recall correctly, Donald had a very good Test as well. Was just unlucky.

I was at that match as a kid, Dog Russell got MOTM for that 20-odd. We gave up watching the cricket and were playing our own game on the grass banks...

29 off 239 balls. I think I watched all of them. Was hoping Pringle would get him but their wasn’t much swing.

Atherton batted 11 hours.
