Australia v South Africa

@Damo said in Australia v South Africa:
I can see everyone has given up talking about the game, which is understandable.
I wonder if Australia should declare now. I reckon they've probably got enough for an innings victory. With some inclement weather around I don't think they should risk batting on for long.
They’ll want to give the Waj a shot at a double hundred then they will I reckon.
It’s only South Africa, plenty of time to get them out twice.

Not going to be much play this morning, judging by the radar. Coming in from the SE

I think Australia has been a bit wasteful here and might come acropper due to their arrogance.
400 is all you need in the first innings against SA to ensure an innings victory.
Declared with Waj on 195 as the rain carried on this morning. 4 sessions left.
Draw coming
-
@NTA Cummins will look like a bit of a dick if it is a draw, 195 not out with no chance for Khawaja to get his maiden 200, draw seemingly only obvious outcome .... (although admittedly possible SA collapse again)
and of course it looks like all local media also keen to put the boot in.

@bayimports 98 overs. 14 wickets.
Strike rate of 42 required

I'm thinking Oz take this.
Will be a full day's play.
Saffer tail fragile.
None of their top order in great form.
Couple of middle order sticks in the mud.
BUT
Aussies only have two pacemen who will need to be managed, and Agar offering zero at this point. -

Fancy not giving him an opportunity to score a maiden double century in a test clearly destined to be a draw.
Cummins is either stupid or a fluffybunny.

I love how ruthless Aussies are about how shit their spinner is.
NZ could learn a lot from that approach.
