How many of us have played Cricket against a dickhead 19-23 year old who thinks (or in this case knows) he's top shit and all hell breaks loose with his actions on a ground. Needs a good kick up the arse and now he's got it. Happens in footy a lot also.
Can you bring a man to his feet when defeat is on repeat?

Say what you like about our boys (in particular Warner) and their misdemeanours but at least they are accountable and take the consequences of their actions on the Chin.

The Proteas have outdone themselves... yet again they (Rabada) is denying any wrong doing. BUT NOW, Philander is telling all and sundry that it was Smith shouldering Rabada.
This victim mentality borne out of a the feeling of being elitist in their own society is far more irritating than anything we might be guilty of....

You could probably argue that smith didn’t do everything to avoid contact. You can see by his look he was goading Rabada to do something.

But rabada still shouldn’t have done it

Its provocation... similar tactic to accusing Warner of ball-tampering. The Aussies did well to let that go through to the keeper, and subsequently it remained a SITC. Similarly, they should stay right out of this again.

Unbelievable alright, wow, I've always taken Philander as a very respectable guy so was very surprised at those comments. Looks as though that tweet has been deleted. WTF.

Yep, Vernon has a few days off, gets on the piss and writes what he really thinks- then blames that carefully calculated dig at hackers when he sobers up... Dickhead!

South Africa have added paceman Duanne Olivier and allrounder Chris Morris to their squad for the final two tests. They are also contemplating recalling Temba Bavuma. Dale Steyn is still unavailable because of his hell injury.

OK so there's the benchmark.

Its OK to scream in the batsman's face or deliberately shoulder an outgoing batsman.

Disgraceful decision, and one that overturns 200+ years of tradition. So much for the gentleman's game...
