Odd call and the bowling has let it down. Pretty poor with the new ball.

Who knows how many more tests he might play but to come in and get a steady run of wickets has been impressive.

Leaving figures and averages aside, we're seeing the value of Green in this collapse. He makes the breakthrough, then a fresh and rotated Starc can come back in and capitalise. Only bowled the two overs and he didn't even bowl well, but a big impact in that session.

Green picked up by IPL for $3.15 million; a record for an Australian player. Not bad at age 23

Nice tribute to Warnie at 350.

We are on top in the Boxing Day Test Day 1 after a great morning. South Africa have steadied but you feel we get another wicket South Africa will be up against it again.

Need to break this partnership. Both Batsmen doing well.

That 2nd wicket of his was important. Good call Lem.

And on top of that Green finished with 5 wickets. Great boost for him and fantastic news for the team.

1-45 at end of day one. Warner a good start he can build on.

I booked tickets for tomorrow and chose the hottest day
