Get Renshaw over there quick smart to replace Khawaja at 3 as he is quite possibly the worst number 3 we have had in my time following Australian cricket.

Yep no reason why he or Bancroft or Warner couldn't bat at three, Rabada bowled beautifully but I don't think he'll be playing in the third test, probably straight swap for Steyn.

If Rabada is charged with the incident with Steve Smith he could well be suspended for the rest of the series , I guess we'll find out in a couple of hours strange thing to do after what's being going on.

We now have a bit more of an idea of what De Kock might have said to Warner. Two South African fans were pictured in Sonny Bill Williams masks yesterday with a couple of Cricket South Africa officials. Apparently Warners wife had a brief liaison with Williams during her single days. Very grubby stuff really and demonstates the double standards that society has when it comes to men and women in intimate relationships.
Rabada is in a bit of strife after that send off and I think the Australians were reminding him of this when he came out to bat as a night watchman late yesterday.

South African officials taking selfies with SBW's masks really shows who the grubby people are in this saga tbh, no wonder they made up lies about what was said to DeCock on the pitch, no doubt Warner will cop the blame for this to

Bit harsh there BH...Uzzie has a test average of 45 mate..... considering his average at home is far superior than away....perhaps we should say he is one of the best number 3 batters for Aust at home and one of the worst away from home......that is like saying Dougie Walters was one of the worst number 6 batsmen for Aust ever.....useless away.....very good at home......but yeah Uzzie is on thin ice. ..not easy coming in v Philander and Rabada I guess....but hey that is his job.....Renshaw for me over Handscomb any day...

Yeah those two officials are obviously not too smart to get photographed as well. May be getting a tap on the shoulder soon.......

Rabada charged with a level2 offence for physical contact to Smith more than likely out for rest of the series, he was suspended for the same offence against Sri Lankan Dickwella, let's see if he gets the same over the top vitriol Warner copped , no doubt BC and AR , and LS will be all over it.

PN: Why not, indeed? Even the South Africans have put up only a meek defence on his behalf because of his record.

Going to be pretty hard for Rabada to escape this one, just dumb also. After what happened in the first test and the scrutiny that would be placed on the second for all players?
You would be asking how smart is the bloke and you would probably even have to say not as smart as Warner.

The masks, what a pair of gutless lowdown pieces of sh!t. If the Zuids to a man and woman aren’t embarrassed and ashamed they too are low down pieces of sh!t. The SA cricket team has reached a new low in ethics....disgraceful. As for Rabada, he’ll just get a smack on the wrist....twisted reasons for this.
