Sydney has better weather than Melbourne, if less cold days and more humidity is what you want.

I really don't understand the animosity between the two cities but it is what it is. There's more nice people than not in each city, there's more nice things than bad things in both. Anyone who's tried to get across town in Melbourne knows how shit it is, anyone who's tried to get to the airport leading up to 5PM in Sydney knows how bad that is.

The rivalry points out how uninteresting the people in both cities are - at their core. Well at least those who engage in the bullshit.

You just engaged in it.

Personally I would have allowed Khawaja to bat for two overs at least to get his double century.

Can only see a draw anyway

2 overs batting and two more overs lost for the change. I think we've made the right decision.

As it is, SA is 3 down for 40.

It’s just a pointless rivalry. They built the mini-mall, so we built the bigger mini-mall. They made the world’s largest pizza, so we burnt down their city hall.

5 for 132. Another wicket will put us right in the mix to skittle them for under 200.

We can all agree Canberra is a shit hole though right?

6 down for 137. Cummins has 3 for and is having a terrific spell.

Lol.

I really like Canberra. But then again, I really like Sydney too.

I work for the Feds, I think I'm biased.

I actually like going there for holidays.

Sydney is great too.

So you're agitating. How unlike you .

I think it was the wrong decision. 200 in test cricket is special and there wouldn't have been much time lost.

Watched today. Excellent bowling. South Africa really have struggled on this tour batting. They haven’t got it right. We have been well on top. Do you reckon we can win it or mostly a draw?

The Pakistan and New Zealand test match was very good last night. Ended in a draw. Unlucky not to have had a result. Could have gone either way. Bad light in the end.

We really didn't need two spinners, and I don't think Agar is up to it.

I understand we want to plan ahead but you should always be trying to win the test matches in front of you. Too clever when an additional quick in Boland would have been more dangerous.
