No I totally see why we chose Ferguson instead of Maxwell or White or Bancroft or Head or etc, etc, etc  ::)
Not serious right? ??? Other 3 I understand (Add in Handscomb, Patterson), but you'd really have given that potato another chance over Ferguson?


It all gets back to Australia having no idea how to play a moving ball. Straight up and down bounce like you would get on the freeway they are fine with, any sideways movement and all hell breaks loose.

dad just told me when I was a kid I said to him "dad, why do we have to be St Kilda supporters"

now he's like "why do we have to be Australians"

What a shocking team needs a total clean out including coaches and selectors and whoever is responsible for the schedule , to think a lot of these guys get million dollar + contracts they should be ashamed of themselves and all this talk of they are tired there is to much cricket rubbish go back to playing the best players all the time no rests if they break down replace them it used to work in the past and lay down the law to them you have a contract to play for Australia no IPL's and such , fancy not being able to bat in your own country and conditions what a pathetic setup we have with CA ........  WAKE UP ALL YOU CLOWNS RUNNING THIS SHOW  >:(

Useless - Surely it is a time for a complete shake up of the team 5 test losses in a row not good enough. 

Thought first innings was bad enough but today was a debacle. No clue on how to bat against a swinging ball and the South Africans exploited it.

Think it is time to put the emphasis back on the sheffield shield to develop players properly rather than the 50 overs and T20. We need to find players who can play a long innings and play each ball on their merits. Players in the Lawry. Boycott and Edrich moulds for those old enough to remember.  Really valued their wickets and were hard to dislodge.

Can't wait to watch Inside Cricket tonight and see Mark Waugh try to defend this rubbish team.

Me too :'(

Such a brutal mauling by SA without their best batsman and bowler (ABDV and Steyn). Still one test to go this series and 3 at home against the Pakis so plenty of time to make amends for the last 5 losses

Bring back the Marshes!
