Well done Alex, stick it up the naysayers
Imagine his record if Paine was preferred. Cost him 30+ tests.

Always good to see SA boys play well
Alexander Carey is a 3/4 Gilchrist these days
The Trav is an Allan Border Medalist

They both have attacking mindsets , and will falter as well as prosper at times
You take the good against the bad , as long as the good is the dominant factor
At this stage the good is very good from both players

The best part about these 2 is just how entertaining they both are when they produce

Now just gotta get Nathan Mcsweeney into the equation

Connolly faced 6 balls and looked like getting out 6 times. Batting at 8.

Bowled 3 overs

Why is he in the team.

Jo-el is having a nightmare, even by his lofty standards.

How he is still a test umpire is totally beyond me.

Konstas and McSweeney, amongst others, would rightly be filthy.

Todd Murphy would be even more filthier
CC looked abyssMAL
The only defence I can give, is that it was his first innings in Tests
