Australia vs South Africa: Test Two

[bulldogtragic]

Australia selectors are NOT making any changes... Despite this result or pitch differences, exact same 12 playing...

Shaun Marsh in literally career best form this series averaging 39 (career 40). Can't begrudge the selectors going for a red hot Shaun Marsh two days before this test even finished.

I really like this aggression from Khawaja on Maharaj. Faf can't go back to Rabada yet and has to bowl Duminy if we really get after the main spinner. It's good, smart batting if they can grind through this spell from Philander at the same time.

They are on holidays or have gone on a course and haven't seen any of the test match surely? It's a shame that wherever they have gone has clashed with the test match but they must have left a note saying "Had to pop out. Please just go with the same team for the second test. We'll be back in time to pick the team for the third test, love the selection panel"

That's the only sensible explanation I can think of.

You might get to say you saw some history. Australia all out for 20 or being the first fielding side to concede 100 extras in a day or an innings. Maybe RSA will make 600 in a day? I don't think that's happened in a test match before.

Steve a Smith might make some runs. Nahhh. Can't expect miracles.

A fair bit of rain forecast isn't there? I saw the draw was pretty short odds

I'm thinking MONA if it's pissing down.

Re: Australia vs South Africa: Test Two

So that's our gameplan now? Hope that it rains so much there won't be time for a result? As good as any other I guess.
