Big questions to ponder as we wrap up from Cape Town!

How did Simon Harmer get his six wickets in the fourth innings to help beat the Aussies?
Well, a guy had yelled out for him to get five the day before, and he corrected him, held up six fingers, and then duly went out the next day and delivered!

Pat Cummins was clearly disappointed after the Aussies' horror defeat in the deciding third Test in Cape Town, but he was resistant to the idea that this side has been too wedded to underperforming players.

A lot has changed since Nicola Carey and Elyse Villani lifted the WBBL trophy last year. Carey has become the new Hobart Hurricanes captain after Villani retired and the pair are expecting a baby in November. #WBBL12 @HurricanesBBL abc.net.au/news/2026-10-29/w…
Alex Carey just loves the Sheffield Shield.
And that crucial ton in the final last season that helped South Australia to back-to-back titles capped a long and rewarding journey.

ALT Marnus trudges off, with Jackson's analysis, which reads: "Out-of-form players often have a knack for attracting unplayable balls. At the moment, poor old Marnus can make almost anything look unplayable."
The Aussie team batted well as a group, finally... well, all except one. 😬
A good position for the tourists to be in after day two in Cape Town!

If at lunch on day one you'd have offered the Aussies a slender lead with just four wickets down at this point, Matt Renshaw said they'd have bitten your hand off.
And the chirpers in the crowd? All bark and no bite, in full whites. 😂

Lethal.

ALT "Calling it a clinical demolition of the tail would undersell him: with 4-2 in the space of seven ruthlessly full and straight deliveries, Mitchell Starc took his 20th Test five-wicket haul and finished with 6-72 from 16.3 overs."
Mitchell Starc's figures were 0/62.
He then grabbed the new ball and took six wickets for 10 runs... what a bowler he is! 🔥

"Don't watch the first two hours!"
That's Mitchell Starc's advice to Aussies waking up this morning! He nearly single-handedly saved day one for Australia, taking six wickets after lunch, as South Africa were bowled out for 329, having been 0/158.
