    It's been a poor match. One way or another it will be over today as a three day test. You can't have guys not play red ball for the longest period of the year and then play a final with no warm ups. It's showing with all the bad batting.

    Granted, has been some poor shot selection, but the bowling has been very good in very favourable conditions.

    The cricket equivalent of a nonsense football international friendly.

    Squeezed in by the authorities because ...... they can.

    Both teams under cooked therefore the ball is on top

    It's only a day 3 pitch, but Australia aren't losing this unfortunately.

    Starc is such a good batter for the position he bats at. His Mrs being one of the greatest female batters ever he will have learned a fair bit over the years.

    I'm sure they've played some bat and ball together.

    Hope I'm wrong, it would be nice to see someone outside the big 3 win something.

    This Aussie really doesn't like it though. There is no other country that could pull in packed out crowds for a test match the host nation isn't in. If they move the final to another country there will be lots of empty seats.

    It would have become as dry as a dead dingos finger

    Absolutely gutted to read that Steve Smith has dislocated his finger.

    Does anyone know if it's his sandpapering hand?

    Markram has played a blinder. He is making his captain scoring on one leg play second fiddle.

    Well done South Africa. I would still give Rababa the MOTM for keeping the chasing total lower than it otherwise had been.

    Top Test team in world, yet England, Australia and India will be totally disrespectful by only giving them 2 or 3 match series.
