Master Q

First post in this thread and haven't read anything but been watching most nights.

This is shaping up to be a draw tbh.

GoLions

Rhyno pulls Philander for 6 to avoid the follow-on hahaha what a shot.

Also, how the flower was that enough to overturn the decision to give Smith out? Hotspot showed nothing, there was no deviation when the ball went past the bat, and snicko gave the tiniest of spikes. If the original decision had've been out then yes, I understand it staying out, but clearly there was still doubt after looking at the technology.

Watching what I expected to happen throughout the entire series. IMO the Proteas are streets ahead of every other team in the world, and the fact we were able to destroy them in the first test is more than enough for me to be content with  ;)
Also remember not everyone lives in Perth, it's basically 2am in Victoria so many people I would imagine can't be flowered staying up this late.

This has been a fantastic innings by Amla btw

oh man long days drinkin is coming to an end. this test is still saveable. Saf won't want to declare early and if we can just chill at the crease AND it rains day 5 then it's possible. always a chance

Hitting the piss, yeah?

This test is saveable especially with rain forecast on day 5. I would have thought saffers won't want to bat too much longer, maybe declare just before lunch with a lead of 450ish. I think rogers will make runs this innings, its the type of situation he should thrive in and will be desperate to contribute after 3 failures. I expected a 2-1 series loss, and although I was very happy with the first test I thought surely it won't be that easy for the other tests. This is our first real challenge since the England ashes will be keen to see how we respond when for once in a while we're not on top. The Saffers have dominated this game, a draw would be a very good result for us.

It's typical jukes that comes out if his cave and bags the Australian team when we have a bad few days. He was hidden for the whole English series and the first test and finally makes an appearance. I still don't understand why he lives in this country :(
