Marnus is finished. How he still gets a gig is beyond me.

If we end up losing this which is very likely there has to be some massive changes to this batting line up.

7 wickets to go. 2 more and it's game on

Lost by 5 wickets.

It wouldn't have changed the result as there was only a couple of runs to go but blowing all 3 reviews on ridiculous lbw appeals that were nowhere near out cost us a late wicket (ball clipped Verreynne's glove) as we had no reviews left.

Anyway, the defeat lies with our top order. Labushagne isn't an opener, Khawaja is 38 y.o., and Green is no #3. Time to bring in some fresh faces.

Boland plays ahead of Balsawood and we win in a canter.  :banghead

Not sure why the Aussie selectors have gone with an allrounder at 3 and a wicketkeeper allrounder at 4 :huh3.

They are saying Green is now our long term option at 3

Perhaps they think he is miraculously think he's going to wake up one morning and be Jaques Kallis
