If Australia have a good first session, then they'll go on and win comfortably.

The worry is the gaping hole as wide as the Grand Canyon in our top 3. Not as if we don't have players performing at first class level in those spots. Should have been sorted a while ago instead of persisting with blokes that are gone or out of form.

Rabada not getting two years was a fit up.
Marnus cops a lot of flak but Khawaja has gotten away with being a hundred or zero man for while.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Lack of competition for openers and a dearth in quality to find a No 3 since Marnus has struggled.
There seems this concept that Cameron Green has to play when fit, I think he is overhyped and Im not a subscriber to him having to be in the team and Webster has proven a more reliable NO 6 and can at least stay on the park and is equally adept with the ball.
Green isnt a top order batsman and I dont know whose Idea it was to play at him at No 3 but it was a bad idea.
We will get away with it though and win the game as Jim suggested purely on South Africa being a substandard batting outfit so the passengers in the Oz team will be carried by the bowling quartet as has been the case for a while now.

4/95 all out 138 - lead of 74. Cummins with 300 test wickets.  4 and a bit sessions in and 20 wickets gone.  Not a great advertisement for the combatants to become World Test Champions.
