Terrific bowling that. Pushed Amla back into his crease and then drew him forward.

Wonderful catch from Bancroft, too.

Speaking of batsmen who are easy on the eye, technically.

AB de Villiers in full flight. Wow.

**** me with next gen bowlers you can have Rabada, Luingi or those clowns from India who the dickheads on ESPN Cricinfo on the FB page bang on about the Indian Test bowlers. Pat Cummins is a genuine Test fast bowler who sets you up for 4-5 overs and knows he is going to get you out. This bloke is a Test Superstar in the making and winds the clock back 20 years with his temprement. Feel free to put as much juice in the pitches as you want gentlemen. This bloke is an artist of fast bowling.
Can you bring a man to his feet when defeat is on repeat?

some resistance would be good all out 162 Starc cleaned up the tail, reversing it to the left handed tail 5/34 DeVilliers unbeaten on 71. The last bit i saw AB didnt do enough to shield the tail.
They have played right into our hands. When was the last time Australia lost on a slow, lifeless wicket? (im not talking slow turners) We really do excel at that type of game, our bowlers squeeze the life out of the opposition and our batsman, well Steve Smith is happy to grind away for days.
Reckon SA have to take a punt and prepare wickets with plenty of life in them. They cant beat us on these decks, it is what Australian decks have become.

Nice to wake up to check the score and see that we rolled them for 162. Starc on fire, love when he goes around the wicket with the ball reversing and he targets the stumps, becomes almost unplayable.
