Australian International Summer

And it begins 1/0

Burns another that should tuck his baggy green away in the suitcase on top of the wardrobe

A lot of tough criticism towards Mennie not being up to scratch.. fair enough too.. but just wondering does anyone else think Nathan Lyon is under the pump at the moment as well?

He hasn't been overly effective of late, and his economy rates seem to be increasing..

There is a fair bit of talk on ABC Radio of Lyon being under the pump, but IMO he has enough in the bank to stick with him. At least through this summer. He may make way for another quick at some stage, but not for another spinner, yet.

Also he is still the clear number one spinner in the country. At the moment no other spinner would be selected in front of him.

Warner out for 45. Very unlucky dismissal, ball came off his body and went onto the stumps.

Aus 2/79

Aus 2/79

Batted well today as well, no silly shots as such, proved that he can get runs easily just working the ball around as well. Agree very unlucky dismissal.

Only 2 down at stumps, big day tomorrow, if we can bat the day out may actually have a handy lead but lets not get ahead of ourselves

[The Dark Knight]

Khawaja batting well for 56 not out. South Africas bowled well this afternoon to him, fair few play and misses but he was very watchful and played some elegant shots.

Ferg is a 3rd innings specialist.

Voges is leaving the field as a international test batsmen for the last time

Strike a pose.

Would rather see a 15yo kid play next test before Voges

[Lightning McQueen]

Has anyone seen the "boss mode" thingy on the cricket.com.au site.

I thought it was pretty cool.

Nice test career Ferguson

I am tuning out, leaves the game with a test average of 2. Should've got a gig a few years back when he was flying.

Some fairly mixed up heads in the Aussie dressing room

[The Bedge]

Nice test career Ferguson

Surely he gets at least one more crack.. it's not like he's the only bloke to fail this match.

[helicopterking]

We play Joe Mennie as our 3rd quick,
They aren't even playing Morne Morkal, even with Steyn out.

[Jim05]

Burns, Voges and Ferg with 10 runs between them for the test. DISGRACEFUL!!!!

[mighty_tiger_79]

Aust need to support 4 day tests
