The first 2 wickets of a test are both stumped. First time ever that has happened.. The ball isn't turning much so that's bad batting

[Gumboot]

Crazy first hour. The Pakistan top order seems intent on throwing their wickets away.

Mitchell decides to give Pakistan a hand

[OomStruisbaai]

Proteas useless top order skittled again. Time to replace the lot of them.

The Proteas are dead to me like after Hansie saga.

That's soft Oom. Do you only support your team when they are winning do you?

To much politics going on. It killed our cricket.

Babar Azam dropped by Mitchell when he was on 12 has just reached his ton.

And there it is Davey Warner brings up his Century in his 100 test match. He is slowly roasting the these saffers in the baking Melbourne sun.

Lovely work Davey!

[Deepsouth]

Warner grinds the Saffers into the dust on one foot for a gutsy 200 and then retires hurt. According to Captain Elgar, South Africa has the best bowling attack known to man.

Yeah right mate lol......

ICC now talking about test matches between the teams not in the WTC and the leading associate nations. Ireland v Scotland test in the next four or five years I reckon. First step to abolishing the ridiculous test / associate categories.

Sounds enthralling.....

Both have beaten England in white ball form, I'd be interested to see how some of their squad manage at Test level.

How sad when beating England is a defined measure of success. For us beating England is just expected in nearly every sport except soccer. In fact I would hazard a guess Australia has a superior win/loss record against them in every major sport bar soccer. They aren't very good at sport and either are the Celts......

Australia could've done with beating England at the last couple of cricket world cups tbh. Pretty hefty losing record against us in the rugby in the pro era, too; the last decade hasn't been pretty.

We have won 6 Cricket World Cups to Englands 2. We haveb 2 Rugby World Cups in the cabinet to your 1. But by all means you keep clutching to your pro era pearls

England are the reigning T20 and 50 Over world champions.

I won't insult you by pretending I don't think that's impressive. Australia's sporting history is a proud one, and you have every right to look back at that era with your chest pumped out.

It probably takes the sting out of being England's playthings in the rugby and at the cricket world cups these days.

Yup and and that takes your tally of Cricket World Cups to 2 v 6 for Australia. Oh and we flogged you 4-0 earlier this year in real cricket...

Who the fuck, except you, is talking about Australia?

[Deepsouth]

We also have won the Rugby League World Cup 12 times v Englands 3. Won the Tennis Davis Cup 28 times to Englands 10. I mean should I really continue....

This is uh, who was that moron from the old board? Bazza? Right?

Gentleman that scoreboard does not lie.

England is a mediocre sporting nation......

[Deepsouth]

Yes shades of John Key and Piggy Muldoon there.....

[Enzedder]

Going to go out on a limb here and suggest that Mitchell will be in very soon.

He owes us 150 runs

He will have his work cut out. Nauman is bowling very well

[Gumboot]

It's almost like Kane instinctively knows where to find test runs. Such a class act.

[Kiwias]

Mitchell’s more aggressive batting is making it easier for Kane to continue his quiet accumulation of runs
