Drinks breaks should be banned as well, someone might have water (or even worse some Gatorade) and then use that saliva to polish the ball.

A convict not being able to look at something from an unbiased position - nothing new there.

Won't be harder to be closer than the recent Ashes series.

True. Can't see either side not winning at least one test (unless lots of unruly weather around).

Australia haven't got the use of the best member of their squad over there.

Nah
Shame they only got 76 overs in.
Still can see a result although we'd want 300 plus to be a fair chance

One day left and one wicket to get. If this was in England, I'd bet on a full day of rain.

Had to laugh at the Aussie player being interviewed asking which way was west and them coomenint he was from Western Australia and the sun rises from the opposite direction than it does in Durban.
WTF

Judging by the last ashes, be a good bet for a rain delay in HMP australia as well.

Aussie cricketers showing their class once again.
Lyon throwing the ball at a batsmen lying on the ground.
Warner trying to start a fight when walking off for tea. You think he'd learn, he failed to beat Root, de Kock would kill him.

You could get a job with English press with such "reporting"

Don't forget Bomber that English cricketers have all been angels in the past few years. :wink:

I've only seen Markram's response to it all and he can't see any big deal and sees it as part of the game (bit of lip here and there).
Storm/teacup stuff

Headline exaggerated stuff, hence the reference. I thought women were the masters of making mountains out of molehills.....
If words on the field create such a big deal nowadays, seeing all parts of the world seem to moan about it, why not just issue umpires with yellow and red cards. Yellow is a warning - if persist, you get a red and cannot bat/bowl or field for rest of game and miss next test.

Well according to Smith (who isn't a reliable source) de Koch said something about his wife. Probably something about her loving kiwi dick on pub toilets.
Have you noticed that whenever an aussie cricketer behaves like an idiot there's always an unsubstantiated reason? Strange that there's never any witnesses.
