Cricket season

Australia on the ropes lost 6/72 must get them all out below 240 then game on

Rabada getting to a very dirty 30-40 tomorrow morning could seriously make the difference in this test match....

No excuses for Amla, du Plessis and de Villiers as this pitch looks delicious for batting and Rabada showed them how with a good knock 400 for the taking

I see Rabada charged for the "Shoulder Charge" against Steve Smith, hearing scheduled for after play tonight.

Unfortunately he has a bit of a history now so will be receiving a fine and a demerit point against his name. Management must manage him now as him missing a test or two in the future could cost the team matches as he is that good.

Seems if found guilty,(which he will be as the ICC hearings are a farce) he will miss the next two tests.

If he had knocked Smith on purpose he should have played innocent and turned around and said sorry did not mean that as I got carried away with getting you out and did not see you. Smith would have said ok. Rabada is learning the hard way and he will learn quickly now if he does get suspended.

After all the hard work of the bowlers and then Elgar and Amla the Proteas have been let down by some really ordinary batting.

If AB can wrangle the tail enders and we get a lead of 150 we in the game.....

far to optimistic there karma. Hope that you are correct as then its 1-1 with 2 to play

all we need is for AB and the remaining guys to get us a lead of 70 or 80 and we win this test easing up.the aussies only have 2 class batsman in smith and warner,and if they fail the rest are easy pickings for our attack.AB looks like he is batting on a different wicket than the other batsman in this test.this test looks very interesting and i just hope we continue to fight for every run,because we have to bat last and the way lyon is getting spin on day 2 imagine how bad /tough it will be on days 4 and 5 if we get that far.

nothing better than to watch the aussies struggle against our protes.lead of over 120 and AB and maharaj now putting the aussie bowlers to the sword.it is just brilliant to watch.
