Is there a better Jaapies who don't play for SA team, than the Jaapies have?

We can contribute Wagner and Conway - and Watling can pull on the gloves.

Oz can put up Labuschagne and Neser and who knows who else.

Malan is not strictly a Jaapie, but doubtless eligible.

A fine display of cricket so far, with the first innings over...

Ozzie 267 all out

[booboo]

82 run lead. Coukd/should have been more.

Could have also been a lot less

[booboo]

Cummins is an ok sort of bowler

[NTA]

Fuck me. Cummins looking unplayable.

[booboo]

That young leftie is reasonable too

[NTA]

Oh jeez that was Carey's. First slip too wide

Quite

Height will save him I think

[NTA]

Oh wait umpire's call in play

[NTA]

Jesus fuck that's a tough one but you can't stand on the crease and expect justice

[Pepe]

@nta Malan very unlucky

[Chris B.]

Yeah - slightly hometown decision from the real umpire on that one.

Root nearly gives Starc a hattrick.

Second-ranked batsman in the world can't easily play out a hattrick ball shows just how hard it it.

At the same time, Cummins gave him something on 6th stump and he flashed at it next over. That wasn't even part of Joe Root's early career.

[Chris B.]

@nta I think the relentlessness messes with your head.

[Pepe]

Someone not long ago told me this Starc fella was past it.
It seems not...

[NTA]

Happy for Boland. Might be his first and last test.

Missed the hat trick ball. He's not all that...

[Kiap]

Oh, my goodness!
