Du Plessis shows his true colours.... Bats on to a lead of 600+ when half that required against a beaten enemy. Pulled the pin to prevent Cummins getting a historic milestone (10 wickets and half century).
Wasn't enough for them to win, they needed to humiliate the vanquished and exorcise their demons.
This is what our mob were up against, but apparently the Australian cricket side are all cheats and pricks.
Gentleman's game my bum, neither side played the game in that spirit this tour. Everyone I knew was so looking forward to this tour, what a let down, and test cricket died a bit more instead of adding to its rich history.
Gees, batting out a draw tommorrow - or rain - wouldnt that be be a small victory?
Agreed Prof, this lot started their 2nd Innings with a lead north of 250 runs, then spent most of the next day batting at below a RR of 3. If you want to know why Test Cricket is rumored to be dying there is your prime example!
Unlike many I didn't expect any different, the Saffies have been doing it for a decade and claiming he spoils while lots of other countries try to lift the image of the game!
