    Bavuma goes and it's 5 for 100 odd, Aus on top. However if they roll them too quickly then there is the risk of facing the new (pink) ball under lights for 20+ overs. And if the NZ-Aus test was anything to go by it'll do plenty.

        What an innings from Faf. And a very savvy declaration 9 down to give his bowlers 12 overs at the Aussies under lights. Advantage SA.

          Haha Davey Dumb Dumb spent too long off the field and now can't open. I'm sure Waj is stoked.

              @NTA said in Aussie Cricket:

              He looked solid for such a young bloke, handled himself really well.

              I back the decision to declare but Aus surviving that period has nullified that, and can start fresh under the sun today. Test evenly balanced again.

                Yeah bit of swing around in the afternoon perhaps, but if we can stay solid we might even have a lead.

                  Warner going well. Goes off for treatment last night, gets caught out by Faf, and can't open. Then "plays his natural game" and gets out for fuck all

                  41/2.

                    Did you see the catch to get Renshaw? Jeez that was close. A tad unlucky but looked like Elgar had enough under it to back up the umpire's instinct.

                      @NTA close decision alright. A good-bad-great catch in the end

                        Yeah he'd pretty much fucked it and the umps might have been tempted to say "not out" and then let the video evidence back them up.

                        As it was, the Saffers were confident, the belief was "out" and they get the reward. Same as Philander yesterday - given out, no hotspot, but enough snicko to suggest its good.

                        I don't mind the "overwhelming evidence" for the technology.

                          Aussies got a longer tail than normal this game? Seems quite weak from 9 down.

                          I do like the night session bringing the bowlers back in at the end of the day, an extra dimension. Apart from when it down-troued us last year, then I didn't like it.

                            9 through 11 tend to be bowlers i.e. the tail.

                            Not sure whether I've misunderstood you there? 🙂

                                  @Siam I see you Clarke and raise you Healy and Slater. Tubby is easily the best of the Ch 9 comms.

                                    Tubby? Captain Obvious? The Best?

                                    Nup. Chappelli easily. Grumpy as fuck. Tells it like it is

                                      @NTA Of the new era - yes. Chappelli was better when he had Greig to argue with. Now they're a bunch of sycophants.

                                        I think Clarke is easily the best of their commentators. He at least tries to talk about the cricket. Warne is probably the worst.

                                          Dare I mention KP? Does he get paid per word? Speak less, you'll say more.
