Starc out of the New Years test. So that takes away a selection headache.

Smith looking like he’s struggling at the moment.

I bet this Saffas attack isnt used to this kind of abuse from Travis Head.

Cam Green has a broken finger so he’s out of the Sydney test and could be racing the clock to be fit for the Indian tour. But apparently will be able to bat again today if required which is strange. Not sure who’s next cab off the rank as far as allrounders go. Maybe Ashton Agar considering a spin friendly Sydney wicket is coming up?
Also Warner will return to the crease after the first wicket today.

Green would be a massive blow if out of the Indian tour, his bowling would be invaluable on their pitches given the heat and how flat they can be. He gives so much relief to the three quicks.
Good news Warner will bat again, we shouldn't have to bat a second innings.
Was listening to McGrath on the radio on Boxing Day, he was saying he has real concerns with our batting and how brittle it is.
I'm not sure what he's watching. Khawaja has scored close to 1,000 runs this year and I reckon we have the best 3-5 in world cricket easily atm

Also how good is it watching Norje bowl!

If Warner carries this form into India (long shot), then you could say our 1-5 is the best its been in a long long time, then at 6, you’ve got a rising star in world cricket who could easily become the number 1 allrounder in the world in the coming years, then at 7, you’ve got a wicket keeper who can actuality contribute meaningfully.
Which is a massive turnaround considering our batting was our major weakness not too long ago. It would be good to not have to rely on the bowlers so much to dig us out of ****.
Depending how we transition Warner and Uzzie out of the team in the coming years (Uzzie’s in his mid 30’s too) then we could be in good shape for years to come. Im hoping for Renshaw and Hunt to step up but we’ll see.
That guys a monster, imagine him on an old school WACA wicket, fmd. The Saffas pace attack might be copping a battering here but it is easily up there with the worlds best and this guy is a good guy to lead it for years to come. I like Jansen as well. I’d have their attack second in the world at the moment, behind Australia and juuuuust ahead of England.

Was funny watching Norje celebrate like he actually did just get him out for a golden duck.Warner out first ball. Hopeless
As if Warner didn’t just spend a whole day punching him all around the ground.I enjoyed it.

I didn't mind his celebration tbh. He's been bowling well without much luck.Was funny watching Norje celebrate like he actually did just get him out for a golden duck.
I enjoyed it.

Really happy for Carey!

Oh no me neither, celebrate away of course, just found it funny.
You don’t usually see guys celebrate that hard after getting a guy out who just got a double ton on you.Don’t know anything about him. A fast bowler allrounder?

Two bowlers down, this could be Cummins and Boland’s finest hour here, or it could go horribly wrong.
