We need to first and foremost bat to not lose this test. We are not close to saving it yet.

Who else is liking what they see with Ackerman.

He just needs to get rid of the "you live by the sword, you die by the sword" mindset in Test cricket.

He's the one batsman who can be forgive since he's new to the format. Everyone else should know better by now...

And yet another goes out trying to play the short ball, when we still have a deficit.

Poor choices and not learning from mistakes loses you matches.

 

[Neoprod]

Nah, that was good bowling...too quick and well-directed to get out the way. His life flashed before his eyes for a second there.

Genuine bowler's wicket that.

 

[thestaggy]

Ja no, I don't see us even pushing this to a draw. Our batsmen cannot stick around and we can't keep on expecting the lower order to hold things up.

-1/3

SA 20%, Aus 75%, draw 5%

Nah that was just a great ball by starc and good captaincy by Cummins to switch him around.

 

[stefan9]

There is too much time to play for any draw.
We need to somehow get to 200/250 and hope the pitch really crumbles in the last innings.

 

[Neoprod]

-1/3

 

[I.am.Sam]

I'm still fuming at that shot from Bedingham. That should be the end his test career it was that bad.

repeat on 1st innings

useless

 

[I.am.Sam]

i been in meetings but when you have 2 players on the leg and they give you a bouncer and you play a hook shot and get caught

you are the idiot

 

[Mike7]

If only we didn’t bat like drunks in the first innings and we would be favourites now. Look how much turn their is now and the pitch is breaking up.

gibbs called this before the test on twitter

 

[I.am.Sam]

bavuma needs a double ton and breetzke has a chance for a ton ...only way we having a day 5

 

[sand_man]

How do you appeal that ferociously and then not refer? Cheats

 

[lilggg]

Why when we bat it feels like a wicket gonna fall at any minute..when aus bat it doesn't
