SA v Australia

4 tests - starts on Thursday at 8am UK time

Much more civilised time than the Eng - NZ series and should be a decent contest.

Doubtless available to watch on one of the pay channels (Sky or BT), although I'll be listening to the excellent White Line Wireless for top ball by ball commentary.

Oz usually do well in SA. We shall see. Hopefully they get tonked, but I have my doubts...

'Mon the Saffers. Don't spare the bouncers at Pat Cummins either.

Should be a cracking series. Some good fast bowling on both sides.

Rabada's appeal successful, free to play the last 2 tests.

Get the ban for a beamer at Cummins, not a pissy shoulder nudge :lol:

South Africa win toss and bat. Match starts in 5 minutes. The joy of back to back test cricket. :)

3rd test bubbling up nicely. Rabada's revenge on Warner a high point.

How sad that the shy and retiring Australians are being subjected to personal abuse that crosses lines. Let's hope that nothing like this happens again.

I'm sure some of the players are fine, but as a team they deserve abuse. They seem to think that they decide where the line between banter and abuse should be drawn - well they do not.

Aussie fielder caught on camera tampering with the ball, possibly with sandpaper...

They really are a loathsome bunch. We are not angels at all in England but this lot are the classic give it out but can't take it example.

Smith must get a ban if he’s admitting the cheating .
