Gee, really.

Think we know our cricketers are fair game and get knocked for the sake of it. You don't even bother asking callers opinions on a player as you know.the  results beforehand. Called tall poppy syndrome where envious callers who'll never be any good try to bring a tall poppy down. Going bad taking callers seriously.

If people are having a go at Warner for defending his family then there's something seriously wrong. Naturally no-one has a go at De Kock, the person in the wrong, because he's not Australian. Can only knock our own as That's our mentality..

Warner is a DH, fullstop.

Always has been, always will be....

The whole circus created by his inability to act like an adult has lead to our disastrous performance in Test 2.

He needs a holiday.  >Sad >Sad
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Yep, ABdeV showing what true class looks like, I've always thought he was never out of the argument as to no. 1. Smith's odd technique showing a chunk against LA orthodox spin.

I was pooh poohed pre series for suggesting Rabada to be a gun, should miss at least the next test which will give our blokes a chance to regroup.  The mop showed himself to be yet another left arm Mitch, bowling the odd jaffa amongst a sea of four balls.  Can't expect to win tests with a strike bowler going at four and not taking wickets.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

if i had been picking our team for the PE test, neither Bancroft, Waner nor Khawaja would have played.

Bancroft and Khawaja because they're both not up to it presently and enough is enough.

Warner because he is a right royal DH who behaviour disrupts the entire team....Smith should have given him a massive spray andstood him down not a pat on the back.

Again, bad bad captaincy from Smith (and no doubt the whole saga is affecting his form) let alone the fact that our top order is a joke.....

So many of our blokes are making starts and getting out, particularly either side of breaks in play.  Failure to turn those 20's into 50's or better is killing us.  It's almost as if they freeze up with the perceived pressure of the time in the game.

All over, was the Rabada show this test so hopefully he is missing the next one thanks to his send offs and we can perform a bit better.....dont see any team changes for us and reckon we will stick with the same lineup.
Bit of a rumour that Dale Steyn wants to play in the 3rd test...as great as he is or was I doubt they would bring him in cold even with Rabada out and would play safe with Morkel....If its one all going into the 4th test I would back Steyn to play....

Rabada out for the rest of the series.

Good decision by the IOC. A damn good cricketer, but
a hot-headed goose.
I spent most of my money on Women and grog.
The rest I just wasted.

David Warner gets sledged over his wife's nocturnal activities whilst she was single and poor little Davey loses the plot.

Its amazing how he has been the prime driver of all things nasty onfield yet the moment it gets turned on him he sooks up.

He is everything that is wrong with Australian cricket right now (and has been for a few years now) and the sooner he gets relegated back to the 20/20 hits & giggles forever the better our game will be.
