4th Test: South Africa v Australia at Johannesburg, March 30-April 3rd, 2018

I hate it when it rains during a game. But lets hope it pours for the next 2 days.

Yup SA should have declared well before now. Series is lost but it’s theirs for either 3-1 or 2-1.

I doubt mint boy faf will get bagged whatsoever if it ends a draw due to rain, where they could have had a win

Sidds is HT's leso crush.

Riveting cricket by SA.

How did Sayers pick up so many shield wickets only bowling in the 120's, on the pitches at home? Or is he bowling injured atm?

All of South Africa will be hoping for rain. What is winning at cricket when you're about to run out of water.

His first few overs in the 1st dig he was doing low 130s in pace, McGrath like.

Since then averaging low-mid 120s. Not sure maybe match fitness might be an issue? Copeland for nsw bowls below 130, but has had a lot of Shield success as well

Santa will be nice to you this year you wonderful, righteous man.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Cummins is carrying us. A great effort.

But he looks like he's aged about 10 years in the last 12 months because of it.

 

[mattyg]

Seriously hope this arrogance from South Africa in not declaring already costs them a win...

 

[AlwaysGreen]

According to cricinfo Rabada has a back injury. Plus morkel injured

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

f**k this is boring. Do they not have any responsibility to put on something of a show, especially for the fans at the ground?

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Yeah I'm done. Is there a way to set up an alert so that I can tune back in when SA finally declare

According to cricinfo Rabada has a back injury. Plus morkel injured

Yeah pretty clear Faf doesn't have confidence in the attack he has.

Semi Rabada was down in the low 120s pace wise at the end of our innings.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

This Aussie lineup couldn't score 550 in 5 days. Just end it.

I think he'd rather draw than run Rabada into the ground and exacerbate his injury is more the point....

I doubt he'd have to bowl much, if at all.

I'd have still declared ages ago, but I can kinda see where he's coming from.

They just showed both of them playing soccer prior start of play today, I think it was pollock said they can bowl if required. Now they are going on philander has some sort of fingernail problem ...

They are playing shenanigans , won the series , chance to just bat and bat and use the bowlers as ‘injured’ as the reason.

Warne said it best SA are not trying to win the test

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Those stumps are clearly wider at the bottom than at the top. Are we being robbed?

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Or are they going easy on us? The merkins...
