Can I ask a question In Australia you lose time the previous day , you start the next day half an hour early
Is that not recognised world wide by the ICC ??

Well in Steve Smith
Most catches in test cricket 221
Very gritty

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Made three 30+ scores in the ODIs, a century in Zimbabwe. I'd love to be that unlucky!

ODI's who gives a stuff
oooh Zimbabwe... please

if this was last year the poms are 4 -99 and they just slash at everything and throw away wickets to starc cummins and co and end up all out for 140

South Africa have a bit more tenacity and grit in batting than the poms do,
aussies will not get cheap wickets like they did in the Ashes they have to try and take them

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Yeah if I was having a punt a draw would be favourite .....they were talking about the weather before the Test started

draw was $6 before first ball bowled !

I must admit after the 1st session I'm leaning towards a Australian win .....I didn't expect the SAFFAS to lose early wickets today
Durban looked like it was going to become a highway with spin coming into play late day 4 / day 5
Add the weather predictions
Still a lot to play out

some good cummins bowling sosme of those batsmen had no idea duck or weave lol
im still keen on draw if SAFFAS can get close to 300 this innings
took a bit of the $3.50 draw to cover my SA bet
aussies are 1.52
the aussie batting line up could well collapse second innings yet.
been an interesting test match

The Run-Smith, now the Goat 🐐 of catching red rocks. 🏏

Australia lead by 106 runs after the first innings,the game should be interesting from here.

Cummins bowling at 146km which is his quickest since 2011. It is amazing what rest and time away from the cricket schedule can do to a player.

Hopefully he is 100% fully fit for this summer and is the same at the end of it.
It’d be good to have him not nursing some kind of injury all season, well as much as a fast bowler can be injury free, we could really do with some low scores to aim at.
Captain Cummo!!!
