Nothing to be gained by doing so, so let Uzzie get his double ton.

Huh….you gain extra overs in the game.

They would have killed for extra overs in the last Sydney test.

Yeh, if the series was still in the balance, I'd say declare too.

WTC is where it’s at these days.

It's highly unlikely that a couple of overs is going to cost us.

Gee, Jonty’s report card on Rabada was very lenient.

The other part of not declaring is the pitch is likely to be at its best for bowling in that first half an hour whilst all the moisture is still in the pitch. Would be surprised to see it seem heaps early on

Might be the wrong thread.

But where do South Africa go from here?
They clearly going through a rebuild, but are they in for years of pain or can they bounce back quick.
Dean Elgar, has really struggled this series as Captain, with his tactics etc. Is there a logical replacement for him coming through?

In fairness to them they’ve had a good year except for this series against us.

They’re batting is awful but there bowling attack will make them a difficult team at home.

If they can find 150 runs (the scoring 350) they will be a decent(ish) side.

The positive to them is that it’s one element of their game batting that’s completely broken, they could do with a spinner but they don’t need one at home and I’m confident Harmen will be decent on sub continent pitches.

they had an ok year, but struggled against England and out here.
they are a long way off it.

feels like they need a changing of the guard

Looks like we are declaring

Play to begin 1:15 Adelaide time

Hazelwood with more movement in 4 balls than the entire Australian innings

Great grab by Smith but I’d suggest it will be not out

Elgar goneski

How is he a test cricketer let alone a captain?
His stats are average at best at this level.
I guess it explains why the team is so average

Warners average overall is a lot better than Elgar.
Elgars is very very average

yes overall it is.
but both flat track bullies at home moreso than most other players

Strange one to leave, there. Even if it didn't turn he'd have been in trouble.

Another poor dismissal

Is the 3pm tee time tomorrow for Concord or the NSW GC??
