It's gonna be raining/bad light for the rest of the match too pretty much.

Sucks as it had been sunny and 30+ for the past few days :(

The Fox cricket lunch break was pretty funny.

They were testing different eras of bats. which resulted in Hussey nerding out and raining down cricket balls on school children and the ch7 crew. :laugh:

I feel like it's specifically day 3 that always gets the worst of the rain too. McGrath should move the charity day to any other day

Poor Khawaja, only the third batter in history to be stranded in the 190s by a declaration

Yeah that's rough, but there's no time to lose when there's 20 wickets to take

I gotta at some point question Australia's team selection for this test.

They knew it was going to be a rainy test, south Africa can't take 10 wickets to save their life. They can't make 200 to save their life.

Why not take the extra quick and just move Carey up the order one spot.

Yeah, seems like an odd choice selecting Renshaw just to bat at 6.

Could’ve been a good summer of cricket if SA had showed this kind of fight from day one of the first Test

Yes, it took til the 5th day of the final Test for them to finally learn how to value their wicket :laugh:
