Not surprising ... Amla only produces a decent innings every 5-7 innings now, Markram will be quality but still learning and De Kock hasn't kicked on in tests (yet?).
This is final hoorah for that #1 team that Smith brought along with Amla, Kallis, AB, Faf etc ... Was a great run

As for the pitches ... they were great when we played India ... because we knew we had an advantage ... It's the opposite here I've read - the fear of your pace attack has dictated the shitness of the pitch.
great inning from markram ... pity he couldn't bat out
He is yep. Pace, line, aggression, and pace again. But he wouldn't be the bowler he is without Hazlewood and Lyon alongside him. Hazlewood's consistent top-of-off line and length, and Lyon tying down bowlers allows Starc to rip at it.
It continued into the changing rooms... https://www.iol.co.za/sport/cricket...cuffle-as-tempers-flare-at-kingsmead-13591677
Warner is such a bellend.

Ahhh makes sense now why De Kock seemed so pissed off while batting yesterday - it's unlike him, he's normally very jovial.
Oh well, if anything, at least we now have an opener to partner with Elgar.

Australia wrap up the first test with ease. Starc deservedly man of the match.
Be interesting to see if SA can produce something better in the 2nd test in a few days time. Would also be interesting to see more than a dozen people turn up to watch the thing too... what’s the fucking story with the shit crowds?

Why has Nathan Lyon turned into a massive cocktard?
I don't think SA can bat as poorly again. I expect the series to be competitive from here on in.
Ummmm good beach weather? 🙂
Australian, innit? 😛
Mate, we were so poor against the Indians - even the tests we won, it was more their incompetence than our batting. Our ODI & T20 batting was extremely poor against the Indians too ... and considering AB is hit n' miss right now, Alma seems to be on the way out, and Faf is just coming back from a little 'break,' I'm NOT optimistic! 🙁
Well, yeah, but even by their lofty bellend standards, Lyon is going above and beyond. Warner was seemingly born that way, but Lyon was relatively normal until recently.
Hmmm, I'm putting it down to an error of judgement, and giving him the massive benefit of the doubt with that. That sort of shit is not on. I'd expect it from Warner, but Lyon better not add that bollocks to his repertoire.
Gonna be a loooong day I think ...
and it still may be ... after a horrible 1st session (wicket just before lunch), Rabada exploded for 5 after Ngidi (there's that name again) got out Warner (who looked to be really locked on).
Oz currently 216-9 ...
Good work, SA, and Kagiso in particular.
Now back it up with the bat, please.

What a fucking inning from AB - 126* from 146 balls (20 4s and 1 6).
Classy from Starc shaking his hand once Ngidi was run out.
SA have a 100+ run lead here at lunch day 3.

Rabada and the Australians are really going at it each other - he just bowled out Marsh and Marsh tells him to 'fuck off' ... Supposedly Rabada may be banned from the rest of the series for something similar (he's been naughty this year!)
Australia all out for 239, lead of 100.
Rabada took 11 wickets ... 4th time in 28 tests he's taken 10 and he's 22 ... This kid is well on the way to being one of the best SA has ever had.

SA 32-2 (Markram & Elgar) so far ... will we be choking?
AB up.
AB up.
I think Amla is gone here ... review ... would be 34-3
WOW - lucky, that looked good from Lyon ... he's still alive ... 34-2
81-3, Amla gone ... Poor from him again ... He just hasn't seem 'right' most tests now.
20 more to win.
20 more to win.
AB is gone ... 81-4 ... stupid shot ... this isn't over just yet.
'tis over - SA win by 6 wickets.
1-1 now, with CT test next.
