South Africa tour of Australia, Oct - Nov 2016

[SpiralS]

So a lead of 150 should be good on a pitch like this?

:wtf:

Why #, why?

 

[cenredash]

Amla, no! Silly shot.

 

[Dan C]

Good enough lead so far.. maybe declare

One day does not a test match make but I'll take that.

Great day for us. Maybe one wicket lost too many IMO. Forces one of these two left to get a big one.

I am not gonna consider the weather tonight, just going to stay up

Why are there no highlights on Supersport?! Just got back from a marathon, wanted to see the carnage but nothing! There were no highlights of the 1st test either!

Australia's first innings scorecard featured more single figures than a dating website.

So when are guys going to give Russel Domingo and his team their dues. He gets a ton of flack when the team loses, but okes are silent when the team is winning.

Fair play, although I think this has more to do with Faf taking over the captaincy than it has with Domingo. Faf is tactically superior to AB. I could see AB opening the bowling with KG and Vern, simply because KG is seen as Steyn's successor...

It's the nature of any sports witha coach.

Kudos to Charl Langerveldt.

That ball was planted in the perfect spot for most of the dismissals.

Credit to him for employing Neil as batting coach.

But the batting is one area where they're still regressing

Debatable. Elgar, Faf, Quinton, AB and Amla all ranked in the Top 30.
