In other news, West Indies batsman Darren Bravo has reacted well to being offered a lower-level contract by the WICB than he expected!!

Very encouraging to see the WICB not tolerate that type of sooky tantrum, too.

Could really do with a third seamer right about now.

Could do with another 25 Batsmen too. Perhaps SA will let us field a team of 30 in Adelaide....

Mennie jags a wicket bowling 120-odd km/hour.

FMD. Seriously!? Are there no 'quicks' in the ranks?!

Pat cummins got through 15 overs in one day at a second XI game last week and he was bowling with some pace. Hoping he is named in the shield side for nsw this week and then back to test cricket - if cricket Australia allow it.....

Cummins would be a god-send.

I just can't believe a bloke who is in the 120-132km/hr range can be Australia's third "quick".

If it was for Starc and Hazlewood, Australia would be stuffed.

NSW needs to start nurturing some more quicks. Get a tall timber quick Academy happening in Western Sydney.

I'm putting money on Australia losing by an innings.

If Joe Burns plays the next test I will be dumbfounded. 2 terrible performances from him this test. They should add a Bancroft to the squad. Or maybe an Ed Cowan? I reckon he was hard done by and would love to see him back in the setup.

Burns isn't an opener, never has been. A little bit unlucky with that second innings dismissal

I'd be very happy to see them give Bancroft a go in the next Test instead of Burns. Burns struggles against the swinging ball, and with the next Test being a pink-ball one, Bancroft is more likely to be able to grind it out and bat for a long period of time.

So, 7 runs in 6 innings between Burns, Voges and Ferguson this Test. Would not be surprised if none of the three play in the next Test.

Or ever again.

Collapso Cricket at its finest.

Throw in Joe "Muller" Mennie in there too.

Even Lyon must come in to question

Mennie out for a duck.

This is unbelievably woeful.

The Australian cricket team has had its tyres pumped up for too long.

Have to laugh at Chris Rogers on ABC. Sucking up as he is in line for a CA job.

With one stroke, Lyon scores more than Ferguson's two innings lol.

Well done South Africa. Australia are worse now than 1984-86. Woeful, hopeless and lost.

Worst performance by our batsmen at numbers 5 - 11 since 1912.
