What's Mike Haysman on, carrying on about the bad light and saying they should stay out there because we have a chance of a great finish to this Test Match :roll: :roll:

i would bat 1.5 sessions today and get 500+ in front, and have 5.5 sessions to bowl Australia out


Playing 7 sessions are they? What do you do again genius?

Thats how Australia would play it but the saffers will want to get 500 in front, theyre always thinking make sure we cant lose first then go for the win. Id even be surprised if they declared before lunch


Why would they give the aussies the slightest chance? In this case i think there better off being conservative and just batting as they already lead the series, especially with morkel out injured for the second innings.

Very interesting argument between Holding and Nicholas regarding pink balls.

Interupted only by FAF getting hit on the finger again.

About time some influential former players and commentators got serious about bringing the banning of sledging out into the open.
Ive got no problem with "Banter" between players but too often it descends into personal shit with no consequences to the offenders it seems.

My views from the weekend, particularly around Sayers.

Yes, i'll admit it appears he is a yard too slow for Test cricket - whilst I thought he did bowl quite well in patches, his movement through the air wasn't pronounced enough to be the same danger as he seems to be at Shield level.

People ripping shreds over his pace though and bagging him, should probably relax a little - yes he's come under the spotlight, always was going to, but over the weekend I rarely witnessed any bowler regularly push the ball through over 135kph, even Cummins was regularly in the 125-130 bracket last night (however, he's probably exhausted after the tour!). Sayers was able to hit over 130 in patches, but unfortunately he also was regularly 118-122 which is a massive drop off.

All that aside, i'm still glad he got an opportunity. I'd rather see Sayers picked on form, and having earned his spot, and exposed as inadequate than to not have been given a crack at all - or given a crack like some others on potential.

Say what you will, but he has truly earned his opportunity over the past few years, and he deserved a crack - now we know he probably isn't at the level, but he's earned that right to find out in a test match.

Would also be nice if "fellow Australians" such as Shane Warne backed off a little bit and weren't so damn negative towards him, let the bloke play the game, drop him next test if need be, don't sit there and ridicule the bloke on national TV. Wanker.

He didn't deserve a crack in this environment when he's one of the only players besides Tim Paine who gives a shit to be out there
