I still cannot stop watching it and laughing, one of the funniest things I've seen on a cricket oval for a long time.
 
People will probably not agree with my next statement, but this is how Australian cricket has made me feel the past few years.

For me, while I was disappointing what happened in SA, it was no where near as big as a deal for me like some made it. What is a much much bigger deal to me and one that continually makes me angry to my core, is that the Australian team over the past few years has been a boys club for a select few players where no matter what they do they are judged on completely different criteria then others and they only have to perform once in a blue moon to warrant being selected again and again. This below quote sums it up perfectly why a lot of people like me are angry at Australian cricket:



That duo over these 3 innings in UAE has added 35 runs at an average of 5.8, with the 'all-rounder' taking 1 wicket (Yasir Shah) @ 59 (only bowling 17 overs). As the 'experienced' players in the squad they have added nothing, but are somehow judged on completely different criteria then some on backing up their continual flummoxing selections.

If CA are serious about the test team, they need to start selecting players on merit and not carry their pet players because of some 'potential' that they believe is there - yet the stats continually prove it isn't.
Rant over :mad::p
It’s all true but it’s been happening for as long as we can remember. Another notable was Mark Waugh who always managed to scrape up a score just as even the selectors had given up on him. Many great players who never were selected even though their averages well exceeded those who were picked.

Love that run out!

Wasn't it the best
 
A mere 435 in front, this ain't looking pretty. Seeing Khawaja can only bat with the tail, if at all, it is substantially less than pretty.
