Australia v South Africa

[NTA]

[Damo]

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.

[NTA]

@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.

[NTA]

Fancy taking the new ball when the spinners were absolutely ripping it up

[Duluth]

Travis Head has been a better spin bowler than Agar so far. This is a big session for Agar’s career

Looking like a fluffybunny in my book,don’t buy the cricket Australia made the decision comments…. Draw coming

[NTA]

That's a top delivery

[NTA]

Agar
Wet weather
Taking the new ball earlier today

Two of these were mistakes by Cummins and the selectors

I love how ruthless Aussies are about how shit their spinner is.

NZ could learn a lot from that approach.

I'm clearly missing something with FB embeds and would appreciate some help.

Lol no most of them just seem to want a shit spinner from their team in instead of Algar.
