  • Cameron Green isn't a number 3 in any conditions let alone when facing one of the best quicks in the world. 
  • I'm hoping the Aussie's are in a spot of bother with their batting lineup. Khawaja looks miles out of form , Marnus isn't an opener and Green at 3 is bizarre. But they aren't really producing the talent either opener wise unless they're going to take some big gambles.

    Not a good look when 24 wickets have fallen for less than 400 runs and could be over by lunchtime on day 3. 
  • The Tasmanian Devils are 66-6
  • Haven’t been able to watch this. Is it good bowling, bad batting or both? It’s an extraordinary amount of wickets to have fallen so quickly 
  • 73 for 7

    Love watching the convicts struggle

    It's a combo of cloud cover but also a pitch that aids seam bowling. 73-7 now

    The trouble is that their lead of 147 might already be enough. 
  • That decision by SA not to review Webster's LBW when he was on 8 (and went on to make 72) could end up being the difference between winning and losing.

    Quite possibly.

    Not great for a showpiece Test match.  Isn't it a 5 day game plus a reserve day in case of rain?
  • In a game of small margins, how can SA bowl 20 no balls. That's 18 more than Australia bowled albeit that they have only been in the field once to date. It's all of their seamers too which suggests that they don't worry about the line in practice either. Michael Holding will be apoplectic. 
  • 144-8 and a lead of 218. Australia favourites but tomorrow's conditions might be totally different.

    Yes, loads of refunds coming for Saturday plus lost food and drink revenue. 

    I guess they wanted a wicket that would produce a result and they have over done it. 
  • SA having a bit of a mare here. Got Lyon out early but the 10th wicket partnership are adding runs. Lead is over 250 and Hazlewood has 10. Starc on track for a 50. 
  • The pitch now looks very easy to survive on. 
  • This is proving to be an absolutely fascinating Test match.  And we're into a phase where the more runs Australia score, the more likely they are to win; but the longer they bat, the more likely they are to lose.  

    No doubt that will confuse some; but it's one reason why Test cricket is the best format of the game.

  • Partnership and Starc both reach 50. Lead is 275
  • Markram gets Hazlewood. All out for 207 and a target of 282 set
  • Very considerate of the Aussies to get out just before lunch so that the hospitality areas can eat on time  ;)
  • What a partnership between Markram (102*) and a hobbling but gritty Bavuma (65*)

    213-2 and just another 69 more to win tomorrow morning
  • The pitch now looks very easy to survive on. 
    As it proved. I didn't see any of the first 2 days play, but today the pitch was completely placid. 

    What a day for Markram, he got the final Aussie wicket today as well. He looked emotionally spent by the end!
  • That's why betting is a mugs game 
    Chasing the best part of 300 the Ausies were odds on to win.
    I stopped betting many years ago.
