Bruised and bleeding Aussies band together for dominant Boxing Day Test victory

Help keep family & friends informed by sharing this articleShare

With injuries impacting two bowlers and favourable batting conditions, one might have expected South Africa to display some resilience. The comfortable win wraps up another series victory for Australia, with just one Test remaining of a disappointingly one-sided summer of cricket."I'd say it's a bit of a hammering, that.

Starc, hampered by a broken finger that will need six weeks in a splint after this Test match, bowled brilliantly throughout his six-over opening spell.However, it was only after he attempted to field a shot played back to him with his injured finger that he really got fired up, snarling at de Bruyn for taking liberties at the non-strikers end when backing up, warning him twice to get back in his ground.

Watched paint dry and had more entertainment than this crap. ‘Bruised and bleeding?’ They are paid athletes ffs

Bravo Australia. SA, please send a cricket 🏏 team. The netball squad is struggling.

That was about as boring as it gets for test cricket and I feckin love test cricket. And the fact serial crybaby and cheat Warner scored a double ton…. Well, I nearly switched off. I did switch off when they were interviewing Candice… JFC.

Amazing culture. This is a solid Australian cricket team. Full of humble hero's. Tap it into my veins.

how will they entice the true believers to turn up in sydney..........free pizza?

Wonderful victory for Australia! A fitting tribute to the memory of Shane Warne.

Ridiculous dramatic tweet and headline. Aust just thrashed the West Indies and Sth Africa. THRASHED them so badly it was boring. Comedic hearing TV and radio commentators trying to make it seem super exciting. Lucky no room for confected non-follow-on enforcement this test.

These people aren't playing hockey. Bleeding and bruised? Slivers and stubbed toes, they don't count, and you can't pretend they do.
