Cooper Connolly shepherding the tail, turning down easy singles to protect Nathan Lyon. #SAvsAUS #SAvAUS #TestCricket #BrendononthePitch

Day 3, not a cloud in the sky, no wind...Proteas will do well to get 2 wickets today. Aus will look to cash in on a great batting day. #SAvsAUS #SAvAUS #TestCricket #BrendononthePitch

Proteas will be up against it today. Sunny skies, beautiful batting conditions at #Newlands. Mitch Starc really bowled Aus back into this match after SA went to lunch at 140-0 yesterday. #SAvsAUS #SAvAUS #TestCricket #BrendononthePitch

Ackerman and Markram are just 6 runs away from breaking a record that has stood since 1936. The highest opening stand for SA against Australia at Newlands. #SAvsAUS #SAvAUS #TestCricket #BrendononthePitch

Corbin Bosch would have been the better choice, has far better stats than Coetzee. But, he could still surprise us.
What do you make of SA's decision to play Gerald Coetzee? His fitness concerns me. He hasn't played red ball cricket in 2 months, they don't need to be a bowler down again. Hope he can pull through

DRINKS - SA are 53-0 after 14 overs. Markram 31*, Ackerman 21* #SAvsAUS #SAvAUS #TestCricket #BrendononthePitch

What another cracker at Boland Park as @Paarl_Rocks secured a win via a double super over against the @Titans_Cricket to secure 2nd spot in Pool A in the #YesPlayPro20Cup Next up, Super 8's match against the Badgers at Boland Park on 1 November. youtu.be/DdKKzIkjCdQ

What a performance with the ball from the #Proteas. Australia 99 all out, trail by 326 with around 160 overs left in the Test. #SAvsAUS #SAvAUS
