[AlwaysGreen]

Make that 7/45.

And gone

Useless, this is absolutely pathetic.

You can't blame Starc he should have his feet up after yesterday.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

One thing SA have always been is an excellent fielding side.

 

[Twizzle]

we could end up being behind on the first innings here

 

[Meth]

Good test for Nevill here. Occupy some strike, get Aussie ahead...

 

[Bazal]

Yeah, shouldn't be relying on the tail. Khawaja got a good one and Smith got a poor decision but both Marsh brothers and Voges dismissals were very ordinary. Even Warner, feeling for a good length ball on 97

 

[Bgoodorgoodatit]

And gone

I feel like we may have discussed this situation at some point in time.. ha-ha

 

[mozza91]

I've heard the selectors have given Shitch Marsh an ultimatum. If he doesn't get a 50 in his next 15 to 20 Tests they may consider thinking about dropping him.

 

[JW]

Our derpy collapses have become so commonplace that I'm virtually numb to seeing them happen.

 

[Hutty1986]

240 odd and they will still get a lead

 

[Twizzle]

Sids to the rescue

 

[hineyrulz]

that ball was dead straight too, no excuses, terrible batting

lol at Clarke trying to make excuses for him missing a straight one.

Flat wickets and 20/20 cricket have destroyed the techniques of pampered lazy batsmen.

 

[Bazal]

On the plus side, this is set up to be a ripper of a test match

I don't reckon he was making excuses, more crediting Philander for the set up. It was a pathetic effort from Marsh and such an obvious ploy

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Nah, test cricket is boring.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Steyn probably won't return.

That leaves both teams with 2 fast bowlers each.

 

[Hutty1986]

Lol why give Siddle 5 to face? Hes awful with the bat...though the entire side is woeful with the willow.

 

[Meth]

Steyn is a huge loss. Could be pretty close to decisive in this match.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Lol just seen the scorecard .

Mitch Marsh... the gift that keeps on giving!
