South Africa is on fire this day was belong to it for that awesome performance. Australia lost the control when it was very close to post very big total after losing 1st wicket on 158 runs. But this was turning point of this match which helped South Africa to get strong position there.
South Africa dissapointed me in the first day and they really surprised me in the second day ,what a turn over ,i thought Australia will be posting a huge total with the start they got and South African bowlers just proved me wrong ,since this is a battle of top teams i was not confortable wagging any bet and so i was lucky that i didnt lose any money 
South Africa now have a lead of 102 runs and three days remaning in this test so they have plenty of time to score the runs

What a mind blowing comeback by South Africa I am just speechless to see their bowling performance when they got first breakthrough on 158 runs and got succeed to restrict Australia's innings on 244 runs, that is day 2 and still 27 overs left there, surely this would get before a day there.
South Africa are fighting back with 4 quick wickets to have Australia at 4/181 however South Africa's Dale Steyn has gone off the field with an injury which is bad news for South Africa as he is their number #1 strike bowler and if he can't play for the rest of the test match then I think Australia will win for sure.
i really cannot believe my eyes,just looked at the score card and was really shocked to see South Africa bat ,i thought Australia will be still batting and will be making a huge total 
from 158 for no loss to 244 all out is just incredible ,steyn took the first wicket and then Philander,Rabada and Maharaj finished them,this match is really awesome and i expect more drama

West Indies won by 5 wickets and it deserve for this. Into that match it was brilliant in bowling and batting. But Pakistan turned into bad side very quickly that is very strange to see. Anyway congrats to West Indies on this victory.
Pakistan batsmen do tend to collapse now and then and you should expect that when it comes to Pakistan ,a simple google search would bring more than a dozen matches for example to understand their inconsistency in their performancePakistan won so many matches against WI is not because they are very strong team but WI is not performing up to their strength. So Pakistan is lucky to win all the series against WI.
Australia are set to make a big 1st innings total of 500+ runs and if they do they will win this test match. As I have been saying Australia are very hard to beat at home and forget about Australia's past poor performances as they were playing in Sri Lanka where the conditions suited the home team. Both Australia and South Africa are evenly matched in bowling and batting but I give Australia the advantage because they are playing at home and that is why I said they will win this test match and also win the 3 test series. If South Africa have any chance in this 1st test they need to take some early wickets and try and bowl Australia out for under 400 runs.
Somehow SA didn't bat well in the first innings. It was not expected from them but now Australia got a very good chance to win this match if they score more than 500 runs in the first innings.

South Africa has met to an unexpected end in its 1st innings but this simply doesn't mean it has loose the game. Australia's position is strong but this is cricket where couple of overs change the scenario totally. South Africa still can come back and it will need to play more accurately as draw is not option. They must fight back in bowling and batting as well.
West Indies made my day that was good decision to take risk on it at start of 3rd innings. I was bit confuse as Pakistan was favorite till very later moments. Now Australia is going to rock the match in one day so many thing already have decided where the direction of the match will be in coming days. I predict Australia to win by an inning.
Wow just look at the Australian inning they have big plans for South Africa this time. Almost half score has been chased and still all the wickets are in hands. South Africa is going to pay how the did with Kangaroos earlier. It is easy to imagine those both openers will start like fresh tomorrow morning. There are troubles for South Africa clearly.
Australia looking very strong after wonderful start of test series against South Africa, South Africa failed to survive on home pitch on day 1 and all out on 242, Australia will get decisive end of this match and tomorrow will decide who will be winner there.
West Indies finally won the test match that is good thing I appreciate this. That was somewhat clear that Pakistan wasn't seeming that confident how they played throughout the series. Australia looking very good with positive attitude in its 1st innings after what South Africa all out at 242. It is going to be interesting test match.
2nd inns where pak throw the match, it was batting track with less assistance for pacer and spinners
Australia and David Warner on to a flying start after restricting south africa to a modest score of 242 runs they have raced to 105 runs without losing any wickets at a healthy run rate of five , west indies won the match quite easily with the help of Kraigg Brathwaite

South Africa lost 7 wickets for 195 runs and they are struggling a bit as de Kock is the only recognized batsman in the crease ,they would atleast try to get to 250 runs to give their bowlers some total to bowl to .Philander, Steyn and Rabada will cause issues to the Australian batsmen for sure,one of the rare matches where both teams have quality fast bowlers
west indies won the match pretty easily and this is the first win for the captain Jason Holder, Kraigg Brathwaite is the star of the show in this test match scoring 202 runs without losing his wicket in both the innings,he is the future of West Indies and they need people like him to come up for them to have some status in the test playing world as a worthy contender
That is great Victory for West Indies into this tour. West Indies played wonderfully so amazing into last match of the tour and successfully finish with winning there. Pakistan failed so badly and lost the golden chance of whitewash into this format.

Tomorrow first test is going to start b/w Australia vs South Africa. I think this is going to become very entertaining series, Australia have very good batting lineup. specially Daivd warner is in tremondaus form. I am expecting some good cricket in this match. Any guess who will win this match. My choice is south africa.
Well the 1st test starts today and to be honest Warner is not in good test match form as his last series in Sri Lanka he didn't even score a hundred. His ODI form has been good and hopefully he can bring that form into this test match series. He does play well at the WACA where I believe he has scored centuries in the past 3 games there. The pitch is normally a fast bowlers pitch and we both teams having great fast bowlers it will be interesting to see which teams can get on top, it's also a great pitch for batsman. So it will be interesting to see what the captain does when they win the toss.
It will be a great series and I know Australia will bounce back from there terrible ODI series against South Africa as they play very good on home soil and are very tough to beat so I am predicting Australia will win this 1st test and win the test match series at home even though South Africa have a well balanced team.
I don't agree South Africa is tough for Australia playing in Australia, if it was in South Africa then yes I agree they would be tough to beat, don't forget Australia is playing on home soil and is very hard to beat even when the Australian team has been in poor form and they are showing us this today as they have South Africa in big trouble at 5/98 Australia has also went in with a good pace attack with Strac leading the way already taking 2 wickets and with Hazlewood backing him up with another 2 wickets. It will be a good series to watch and I still think Australia will win the series.
