Still pitching it too short Rabada. Pitch it up, straight seam!

Graeme Smith is talking absolute shit. Reckons Saffer pitches are dead and started talking about decks with characteristics like Sydney, Adelaide and the Gabba. Here's a tip boys.... pitch the ******* thing up and Australia would be out for 225. We just came from a series where 250 in SA was a good score.
Not a ragung seamer though which is strange. Honestly we are crap if the ball js moving so why prepare a deck that will us competitive?

Strange call.

Apparently the Saffers don’t rate their batting too highly either and were worried Starc and Cummins in particular would knock them over cheaply so decided to negate them by preparing slower than normal wickets

Mitch Marsh has shown patience and resilience so far this innings.......so why the **** did he just push a quick single 4 balls before lunch to put the number 9 on strike?

I am ******* livid right now.

Yes, that was a costly mistake in what's a very good innings from him.

Even though this pitch is quite slow which is very different for a South African pitch it's still offering more to the bowlers than the roads our pitches have become! Those different characteristics our pitches have are almost non-existent now. Smith needs to update his info.

put some more grass on this deck and it would quicken up. No need to rip it up and put in drop ins! Again Saffers, pitch the ******* thing up and make Australia play it 80% of the time. Just short of a good length doesn't cut the mustard.

7/251 if you told me we'd get at least 350 I'd take that every day of the week.... even 15 years ago

Maharaja 5fa, did a great job for SA. Looking forward to seeing what Gaz can produce on this pitch now.

Mitch has been batting out of his skin since his last recall. I wonder how much of an effect it had making him captain of WA? Shame he didnt make his 100 but that will keep him hungry in his next dig.

Huge 70 mins til Tea.

How good is Test Cricket on a Friday night? Reckon Hazelwood might make Markram his bunny.

Cannot wait for Cummins.

Test cricket at its best.
