The Melbourne Renegades Are For Sale And We Will Buy Them Together The Red Melbourne Telethon!

Any time Pat wants to take a wicket, that'd be handy too. #SAvAUS 🏏

That might have been handy last week. #SAvAUS 🏏

That's the idea, Mitch. #SAvAUS 🏏

Ackerman's ongoing flirtation with being stumped by Nathan Lyon finally consummated. #SAvAUS 🏏

Scott Boland's session #SAvAUS 🏏

Of course, if Australia had batted first, they'd be 4/38 around about now. #SAvAUS 🏏

Scott Boland delighted to not be bowling on this pitch. #SAvAUS 🏏

NO, YOU IDIOTS!! MY HATRED OF 350 v 350 ODIs IS NOT A REQUEST TO DO 430 v 430 ONES. STOP IT!! #SLvENG 🏏 (Although, if you must, England losing is the correct and funny way to go.)

To celebrate South Africa's win (and our last day in South Africa), this one's out from behind the paywall. #SAvAUS 🏏

Mulder providing the X-factor #SAvAUS 🏏

Time for some humpty? #SAvAUS 🏏

I see Harry Brook is having a very Harry Brook day. #SLvENG 🏏

Boland survives* the (extended) session! #SAvAUS 🏏 * dominates

Forget nightwatching. Boland is inningswatching here, protecting every specialist batter who comes in. #SAvAUS 🏏

Boland eyeing off the lead. #SAvAUS 🏏

Somebody needs to stick with Boland here. #SAvAUS 🏏

Australia halfway to the draw now. 68 overs done and 68 more overs to see out. #SAvAUS 🏏

Boland to open in the third test!

They've done it for real now! #SAvAUS 🏏

They'll get through to lunch at this rate. Dogged stuff from the duo.

Cards and coffee on the Australian balcony. #SAvAUS

A hundred men (or more) drag the covers back on as we bless the rains to an appropriate stadium soundtrack. #SAvAUS

I don't want to be the bearer of bad tidings for South Africa fans, but I should probably note that we also spent all of day five watching rain save Australia in Manchester in 2023. #SAvAUS 🏏

Australia survive the first half-hour without loss. South Africa with no answers to Head and Boland's gritty determination! #SAvAUS 🏏

Hazlewood back from the nets too. No doubt preparing for a tenth wicket onslaught to set up a tricky little fourth innings chase. #SAvAUS 🏏

Cummins and McDonald plot the path to an extraordinary comeback win. #SAvAUS 🏏

Boland with the rare double night watch to bookend the day's play. #SAvAUS 🏏

THE WIND HAS BLOWN THE UMPIRE'S HAT OFF! WHAT A SPORT!! #SAvAUS 🏏

Didn't quite get out of them. #SAvAUS 🏏

Better late than never #SAvAUS 🏏

What the crowd lacks in size, it makes up for in drunken banter. #SAvAUS 🏏

Marnus into the nervous thirties. #SAvAUS 🏏

Can't believe South Africa fell for Australia's trap of having their bowlers bowl for the remainder of this Test while Australia's bowlers put their feet up (minus a brief stint at the batting crease) until the third. Suckers. #SAvAUS 🏏

Australia very much missed Nathan Lyon's runs in that first innings. Hope his absence won't continue to bite them in the second. #SAvAUS 🏏

Chin up, Maddinson. There's a good chance you'll be the only Australian batter to not be dismissed twice in the one day. #SAvAUS 🏏

Sure, batters *can* tire the bowlers by occupying the crease. But making them bowl you out twice in a row also works. Good outside-the-box thinking from Australia. #SAvAUS 🏏
