2018 Tour of South Africa

Re: 2018 Tour of South Africa

Australia lose a wicket late in a session again. Bancroft out for a patient 38 and the 'suburban boy who dishes it out but cant take it' is 50no and has batted quite well.

Session to Australia but it was hard work.

Warner's problem is he didn't go hard enough. I would have merged De Kock's head with the wall and then stuck the thick end of his bat up his arse if he'd said that about any member of my family. Then we'll see who else is feeling heroic.

Two wrongs won't make it right.
To me he is the classic loud mouth who can't back it up. His most spirited vigor happened when his team mates were holding him back and he knew it wasn't going anywhere. He was just posturing. If he is going to mouth off by saying someones sister is a bush pig then he needs to accept the consequences that follow or better still not make comments on someones family to start with.
The ACB should have stood him down but weakly chose not to.

I did notice it was fairly easy for Usi to hold him back. My dear old mum would watch that and say"hold me back or I'll hit 'im!"

I've read different reports on who said what when depending on who was talking at the time. Like I said at the time the finger wagging would have got a reaction from me. if Warner should have been suspended then so should Do Kock. He was responsible for it too.

The Suburban boy out for 63 and we are 3 for 128. We need a big knock from Smith

That was not confirmed by anyone other than some journo mouthing off.

Smith survives a close run out call. 3 for 160.

Re: 2018 Tour of South Africa

Smith gone, the session is SA's. 4 for 162.

Paine batting before Mitch Marsh

Every hot head or guy with a short fuse believes they reason why they lose it is because they have been provoked. They can't grasp that they have contributed to the situation.
To me clearly if the suburban boy was the victim here of extreme provocation he wouldn't have received the heavier sanction.

I still maintain you can't go through a session niggling someone over and over and then take offence when you eventually get the bite you were after.

What a spell by Rabada.

Should be a ripper of a match from here

Rabada in trouble, could miss two games. Stupid act against Smith

He will get off. He will say it was an accident and the panel will go soft on him.

We all know it wasn't an accident but they are the magic words they will want Rabada to say so they can let him off.

Re: 2018 Tour of South Africa

SA has a 20 run lead with 3 wickets in hand. Marsh got a couple of wickets which got us back into the game. AB deV is still at the crease

We need a stroke of luck to keep their lead to say under 60.
