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

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

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!

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.

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.

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.
