Australia v. South Africa - Test series.
Easy, peasy century opportunity.
And Carey takes it... Thanks, he says... Like stealing lollies from a baby...
Ends on 111 (149), c&b Jansen.
But Green on 50 not out will prolly run out of batting partners... Unless Starc gets a century too... Why not?
So Green & Starc (injured fingers) can bat... Can they bowl?
Err... NO. Green won't bowl, out of Sydney Test.
Starc will "only bowl again if required", "in doubt" for Sydney.
Other injuries: Nortje was knocked down by Spidercam.
Fox Sports has apologised.

If they are given 5 innings, they just mightPies4shaw wrote:SA 4/120. Just rattling along on that flat wicket, agaion - just as they did in their first innings. They'll probably make 900.
I term the current Collingwood attack based strategy “Unceasing Waves” like on a stormy and windy day with rough seas. A Perfect Storm 
Despite the ridiculously “flat track” when Australia was batting, this nasty pitch turned into a minefield every time South Africa took the field. It did look so easy-paced that it seemed they would make many hundreds more - but in the end they managed just 204.
In the old days, when a team got bowled out twice for near enough to 200 and the other team made 3 times that number, we’d have been talking about the dominant batting display on a wicket that posed real problems for the opposition. In the modern era, of course, we can only marvel at how the ball flies around and behaves like a grenade all the time, except when Australia is at the crease - because we know that only “flat track bullies” make 600 when the opponents can barely manage 200.
