Ha! and another. Now 202/7

Hoping it'll be a stream of wickets! Don't want to chase anything over 170.

What a game by the Proteas! AB you beauty! You too Rabada, just leave out the off the ball stuff!

 

Seems like Rabada is definitely going to miss the rest of the series. There goes our best bowler and best chance of winning the series. From espn:

 

"While Kagiso Rabada awaits the ruling on the Level 2 charge against him - for having brushed Australian captain Steven Smith in the shoulder - he has been hit by another charge: a Level 1 offence for the send-off he gave David Warner in the second innings in Port Elizabeth. Rabada is currently on five demerit points and could earn three more if found guilty of the Level 2 charge, which would see him banned for the next two Tests. He has yet to respond to the Level 1 charge.

 

Australia allrounder Mitchell Marsh, meanwhile, added to the growing list of this series' unsavoury moments when television cameras captured his verbal riposte to Rabada after he was bowled on the fourth morning in Port Elizabeth. In the first over of the day, Marsh was comprehensively bowled by a ball that sliced between his bat and pad, and, as Rabada ran past in celebration, the Australian was seen mouthing the words "f*** you c***" while turning his head towards the bowler."

 

They better site Marsh as well! It always feels like our players cop bans much quicker than players from other countries. Remember Faf and Kohli chewing gum, only Faf got banned. Smith said before this series they will intentionally target Rabada to get him banned. So their shoulders clash, and guess what, it's all Rabada's fault! Why was Smith not also cited???? He openly admitted before the series he would do crap like that!!!

 

If Rabada is out, I would bring Morkel back in plus Morris for de Bruyn. We're going to need an extra bowler plus Morris is handy with the bat too. De Bruyn has unfortunately not taken his chances in the test team. If Steyn is fit I'd replace him with Ngidi perhaps.

101 to get. I am hoping we will get there with only the loss of two wickets. Dean and Aiden owe us a good start and with so much time left they can contrate on getting in and going and hopefully not getting out. Be nice if we could get a proper crushing win out of this match.

Hence the if in my post. I have not forgotten that this is a class attack that Aus has. However a good opening partnership will do wonders ito the confidence of the batting unit and should be beneficial for the remaining tests. Alden and Dean have time in hand so nothing wrong if they purposely use some of it to get their confidence up. And they are currently ticking over nicely. Hoping it continues.
