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

    Not sure whether I've misunderstood you there? 🙂

        Please please can the ghost of Kerry Packer smite Michael fucking Clarke from the commentary box.

        I think my ears bleed when he speaks and that's before my brain processes his captain obvious sound bites

        For the love of god won't someone think of the children

          @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.

                    @booboo From what I heard last night every second line KP was chipping at Tubby, Healy etc for being fat. Straight into the blokey nothingness vacuum that defines the current Channel Nine panel.

                      Was at the Adelaide Oval for the first two days, thoroughly enjoyed it. Crowd was a little bit lighter than I thought it would be, but I'm now totally onboard with the day/night concept. Makes it a really interesting day, especially as day turns into night.

                      Helps that it's been a great game so far, couple of cracking innings from Waj and Faf, with some good bowling mixed in and the Aussies getting on top.

                            It was a faint edge and also hit his pad, which probably made him think he didn't hit it.

                            Not sure why they're making such a big deal about the Renshaw drop. Everyone knows Wade is a shit keeper, the fact he didn't move should not be much of a surprise.

                              The whole way through this Test has felt like one team has had big kick up the backside and is responding to it well, while the other has just won five in a row with less to play for plus the distraction of Justice 4 Faf.

                                Easy to say that in hindsight, Donsteppa, but I've been pleasantly surprised with this Australian effort. We picked three debutant batsmen, none of whom were really banging down the selectors doors. We made a few other changes to boot, and against a settled SA lineup I would have tipped another comfortable SA win...

                                  I did too, up until halfway through the first morning 🙂

                                  It does seem to have been the experienced players lifting for Australia. Khawaja with the bat (though I see he's 0 off 2 out now in the second dig), the experienced bowlers stepped up, and of the four scores above 50 with the bat, three of them were Khawaja, Smith, and Starc.

                                  South Africa from the bits I've seen have looked at about 90%, which is still bloody good, but they're missing that slight edge about them from earlier in the summer (or haven't been allowed to keep it).

                                    Renshaw is a bit dour compared to some of our recent openers, but this is on point:

                                      You won the series. Be happy with it.
