Khawaja is wearing black socks. In a test match. Knew there was a reason I didn't rate him that highly!

[Nmcgee]

Interesting perspective.

South Africa bowling really well here. Don't know what Voges was doing there! Ferguson 1st test outing not going to well.

[sfa82]

This is beautiful to watch! Great pressure building bowling! 1 wicket needed to clinch the series.

Amazing bowling from SA, Australia looked woeful, save for Smith and Uzzie yesterday. Time for Voges to go, old man eyes have got him.

My team for next test.
Warner
smarsh(if fit) (burns if not)
khawaja
Smith
white
head
Wade
o'keefe
mennie(or sayers)
starc
Hazelwood

Ferguson should have never been there, Lyon needs to know he is droppable, after a bad tour of SL and two bad tests here, it's time for a spell.  Voges just looks past it. Nevill whilst a solid 60 in the last test doesn't look like he will ever make a test hundred, being a good glove man isn't enough.

Wow

Not sure I've seen so little fight in an aus side!


Warner smith and starc have a lot on the shoulders having to carry rest of the squad here!

Wow 129-2 to 161 all out! Here was me thinking the aussies might fight. Serious pressure on smith and co right now.

The Aussie press turning on them too, usually they attack foreign sides

[dcullen8]

Can we have the ashes now?

[Number4]

You keep telling yourself that while I predict Australia will see a game winning young batsman make his way into the test team before the next ashes series

[ppccopener]

Ponting said a couple of years ago state cricket needs to dump the kook balls and use the english duke ones.
This might not solve the aussies problems batting wise but it seems one option they could do right now

[rickjames]

Waking up to this put a right smile on my face

Who's it going to be?

[smilley792]

Who's it going to be?

Hameed.

He never said for which side, just that Australia will see him.

[Number4]

I'm just a crazy Aussie wishful thinking

[Number4]

Who's it going to be?

I'll give you a hint... the Six Million Dollar Man
