Australia vs South Africa (3 Test Series)

[fanTCfool]

So how do the Aussies manage to lose this?

O - Overthink things
L - Lose wickets in succession
E - Everyone bats like Nic Madinson
D - Don't play any shots

Did South Africa just challenge Kettleborough and get it wrong again?

[Jukes]

Does Smith really have to come in here rather than let Maddo or Handscomb get another shot on debut (or Wade another chance to keep his spot)? What a prick tbh

[JBs-Hawks]

The way we like to collapse theyll all get a shot

[PowerBug]

South Africa again testing Richard. That was so clearly outside the line.

Think they were hoping it was deemed Renshaw wasn't playing a shot

Mmmm yeah saw that in the end. Thought it was clear to me that he was, oh well their loss :P

[PowerBug]

Seriously these commentators need to give Renshaw a break. The bloke is clearly struggling/nervous/something which is causing him to play an miss and not time things perfectly or whatever. But you know what, HES STILL BATTING AND HASNT THROWN AWAY HIS WICKET. Hasn't tried to force himself to score runs to release pressure, just kept battling along and is playing like a true opener should :)
