Pietersen's awful giggling makes me want to gouge out my eardrums with a darning needle...

there is this new thing where they have amplified the background noise so you can hear the guys in the background laugh at jokes. In the Benaud era that would have been considered unprofessional, but now they want to ram down our throat how relaxed and hip things are.

Peterson definitely does lines out the back.

One thing that is a bit of a worry is that I don't know of any NSW fast bowler coming along below Cummins. He would be what 23 now? Usually we have some 18 or 19 year old tearaway on the horizon.

It is concerning that Bollinger and Copeland are the NSW opening bowlers.

Cummins isnt too far away, he just got named in our ODI squad for the upcoming series

Du Plessis looked like he was scoring runs out of spite from the minute he got to the crease. The media, the crowd, and Matthew bloody Wade only made things worse by targeting him. Some players crumble under pressure while others blossom when they have enemies, real or imagined. Top quality ton.

We are just as likely to be 3/20 tomorrow morning as we are if we bat tonight, so why does SA need to declare??

Such negative from these commentators saying to declare , stupididty, especially Chappelli

Not a huge fan of the booing tbh

Disgraceful actually.

Steve Smith's presso was all class, rightfully saying Lollygate is a nothing situation, It was blown up to mask the fact that Australia was absolutely woeful. With a bit of common sense it would have been defused quickly.

Credit to Faf for putting together this ton, Australia will be kicking themselves for not getting them cheaper.

Thats why we shouldnt have acknowledged him at all. he was looking for a fight

Meh, some sections of the crowd are always gonna boo when something like the whole lolly thing happens. It's no big deal IMO, although I wouldn't be booing him personally I doubt he even really noticed it.
