Ties the record for most ten wicket hauls before 23 ...
Will be really tough to beat the Aussies without KG ... Unfortunate:
[article]BREAKING: Kagiso Rabada has been suspended for South Africa's next two Tests after being found guilty of a Level 2 ICC Code of Conduct offence of ‘inappropriate and deliberate physical contact with a player’.[/article]
That being said ... Warner was about to have physical fight with De Kock on the way to dressing during the first test match (not to mention Lyon's stunt) but he wasn't suspended. Rabada just brushed Smith's shoulder and he is suspended? That's harsh ...

A tough lesson to learn but probably a necessary one. Rabada goes a bit OTT on occasion.
Yah I guess ... pity they couldn't do this for the Zim tests! 😉
Good reaction from Kags though:
[article]Kagiso Rabada recognises the need to relook his on-field conduct, because the rate at which he is being charged for code of conduct violations is affecting the team. Rabada maintains he did not deliberately make contact with Australia captain Steven Smith when the pair brushed shoulders on the first day, in the incident which earned Rabada a Level 2 charge, but conceded that he needs to reign himself in.
"It's going to have to stop. I can't keep doing this because I am letting the team down and I am letting myself down," Rabada said.
Even before he knew whether he would be found guilty of the offence in the Smith incident, Rabada was also charged with a Level 1 offence for his send off of David Warner in the second innings. Rabada screamed into Warner's face after bowling him, after yelling into Smith's in the first innings.[/article]

SA all out this morning for 311.
Pretty shit considering we were 228 or something for 2 ... Cummins was incredible - and that's why we finished where we did.
Elgar carried his bat (141*) again ... tied some dude for the record @ 3 for a career.
Pitch is starting to turn again ... Good test brewing yet again (problematic weather ahead tomorrow though)

Always happy to see Warner get as much shit as possible. Horrible cunt.
The Australians are horrible sportsmen. I know that is a generalisation, and there are maybe a few decent ones, but these comments from Smith ... "this is not what Australian cricket is all about". Really??? Last year it was cheating with reviews.
And the complaints about De Kock, when Australian cricket is littered with vile sledging tactics ... they had been "chirpy" on the field, according to Smith before that incident.
Same thing with Lehman, accusing South African crowds of being disgraceful, when the Australian crowds are constantly abusive.
Can hand it out, but can't take it. Bancroft has been a weasel from the outset, and thrives with Smith as captain. Australian cricket needs to change. Great players, rotten behaviour.

De Villiers got off the mark in his inning today with a 6 ... off Cummins, who's been fantastic this test with the ball & in the field. How does he react? Mouthes off at him ... AB's reaction is priceless ... But common sense Pat - If there's one player on this team you don't want to piss off it's him ...
To a man. Always have been. They're not much different as people.
He really is a horrible little tip rat
Spot on about Lehmann the dumb fucking hypocrite cunt
I remember a few years ago him doing a radio interview where he urged the Aussie crowds to be spiteful and abusive toward Stuart Broad to ‘send him home crying’
When your national side cheats and admits it needs to cheat it's time to bin the sport off completely.
Ha - you mean like footy with Henry vs Ireland?
Did this cross the line, Davey?
proper leadership from Smith and Warner - they've removed themselves as captains ... for this test match.
Nah, that was the equivalent of not walking when you know you've nicked it .
This ball tampering lark is in a whole new ball park.
Did they actually step down? They were removed, weren't they?
A lot of teams have done it in the past ... They've been caught, they'll be punished - let's not make it too big a deal.
SKY is saying it's temporary (for now) until next test. Watching now the Aussies are flat - but they just got AB (Lead is now 325)
Lovely to see these caught bang to rights. This Australian cricket team has some very unsavoury elements, with Warner obviously a chief among cunts.
A lot of teams? Who? When?
8 examples or so (some not proven) in 25 years? Hardly rife, and the book should be thrown at all offenders.
Double the punishment for David Warner just for laughs.
I think Broad hinted in his presser that the Aussies were doing it in the Ashes. Listen, athletes will often use any advantage they can get ... Pay the fine ($, suspension etc) whatever it is, but I'm not going to act all holier than though when my team (including our current captain) have been caught too!
Fair enough. I personally think it's shit and Aus should be banned from all sports for 20 years.
Yah but they you sound like Ryan when he talks about the English! 🙂
Steven Smith has been suspended for one Test by the ICC
