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.
Spot on Daisy. SA played right into australias hand here as there bowling is almost suited to these pitches. It is truly a special bowling line up. The best way to beat australia is greener tracks where the aussies struggle batting wise because you cant outbowl them on these surfaces. SA went in way to negative as always and they will get demolished all series if they keep producing slow wickets.
Test Cricket is as much a mind battle as ability. If South African men are made to feel any less than the top dog they do not handle it very well, it’s in their culture the need to feel superior. It’s funny that as soon as you stand up to them that they have always pissed their pants. Where as the Australian culture takes the piss out of anyone who thinks they are bigger and better than they are. This is the reason why they won’t turn the mics down as they think Australia will curb their behaviour.
Feel free to prepare decks with Juice in them boys, have fun facing our quicks on a seamer. I’ll be interested to see what happens tonight. Saffers could capitulate here.
Can you bring a man to his feet when defeat is on repeat?
