Anyone else feel a bit sick every time Mark Nicholas is gushing over the Aussies.

I like it.

PE looks a great ground, shame England haven't played there on the last two tours. I'd swap it for Durban.

The Barmy Army v the Port Elizabeth band would be as good as the game! De Villiers knock looks crucial at the moment but if the Crims can get to 150 it could yet be tight. Really enjoyed those two days. Just highlights for me now.
 
The Oz tactic of ruffling the oppositions feathers has worked well I see.
100% they will step over the line (then jump up and down on it) when they defend what should be a low total.

4 ten wicket hauls in 28 tests

That’s more than Donald in his career and one behind Steyn.

But is his indiscipline going to ruin his career? He's now suspended for the rest of the series. At the beginning of the series match referee spoke to both teams about respecting your opponents and a day later he completely ignores the advice leaving Jeff Crowe no alternative. He compounds it by having another confrontation with Warner. Holding even advised him about showing control and he also ignored him.
 
So the match referee has decided Lyon dropping the ball on AB is level one and Rabada brushing shirts with the lesbian is level two?
I can't imagine the static the two shirts may have built up, obviously health and safety.
Though clever by Smith to over react and highlight the hideous travesty of his criminal actions.

Really hope the nasty little fuckers lose, they'll be celebrating his omission I've no doubt.

Agree, but he is a young emotional lad, heart on sleeve type stuff.
While the ozzies are snide little twats.
Let's not forget that they intentionally started the bad feelings, it's just a tactic to them.

Yeah I am surprised too

Take away my dislike for the Aussies, but I watched it live, and they both walked into each other, that is how I saw it. If he was getting charged, I didn't understand how Smith was not getting charged.

They need to ease up on all the charging, test cricket is struggling, I believe fans like seeing a battle like this. Maybe I am wrong. I find it exciting personally.
 
Test cricket isn’t quite dead then.

Fine them to high heaven. Bans should only be for the most serious of misconduct

I see Steve smith has completely changed his tune the absolute wanker he is.

Wanted him to play before now calling it a bad precedent
