Cricket Et Al

Pete and Gid watch South Africa turn the tables on Australia at St George's Park with a stunning day of batting led by their captain Temba Bavuma, whose highest Test score was the basis for a huge total, and whose declaration gained his team a late wicket. But can South Africa roll Australia twice in the remaining two days? Who would tip anything in this topsy-turvey series dominated by the bowlers, and the bowlers as batters?

Pete and Gid pay tribute to the cheapest bowler round - in the nicest possible way - after another staggering bowling performance from Scott Boland at St George’s Park in Gqeberha reduced South Africa to five for 97 on a much-shortened second day. A fine innings from Temba Bavuma has kept the home team in touch; the pitch may not get easier to bat on; the game is afoot.

Pete and Gid hold a press conference to celebrate seventy-four deliveries at St George's Park and several hours of rain, but there's enough time to laud Scott Boland, lament Nathan Lyon, and recall the maestro Barry Richards - revealing an uncanny connection to the Lalor clan. Plus: does Gqeberha have the slowest groundstaff in the world? Also: is there more rain on the way?

Pete and Gid check in from Gqeberha’s This Is Eat, touted by some as 'the finest fish shack in the southern hemisphere', with further reflections on the First Test, selection updates from both camps, and vignettes from life on the road. Prepare for Pete’s haircut, a top ten selection songs and some very bad steady cam.

Pete and Gid lie back and enjoy the five-day feeling of an old-fashioned Australian Test match win in Durban, where Pat Cummins's team won by 214 runs on the back of a great ensemble performance featuring Matthew Renshaw, Josh Hazlewood and a host of co-stars. Nine bowlers! No dropped catches! A selection Hail Mary that didn't quite pay off, but not to worry! Also a superb performance as captain from Cummins, praise be to him.
